Happy excessive drunkeness day
First of May is a big deal in Finland. Supposedly it's to celebrate the the social and economic achievements of the labor movement. But really it seems to be an excuse the dress up, wear funny hats, drink tons of champagne and have a picnic with friends (in a blizzard).
Today the weather has been nice, around 20 degrees Celsius which is almost scorching by Finnish standards. I'm a bit tired, the new job has been fun but since I'm not used to actually getting up in the morning and doing manual labor, my feet are killing me and I could store beer cans in the bags under my eyes.
But getting to hang out with my friends and drinking is so much fun, so I won't complain :)
Happy May Day!
