I’ve been celebrating the Midsummer Day with my family. Here in Finland, the whole country basically closes down for the weekend and almost everyone heads to the countryside. Fire officials had banned bonfires this year, so no ‘kokko’. Lots of good food and even greater company, plenty of swimming and enjoying the sauna!
I live in a Finnish midsized town with a population of roughly 80 000 people. My repair shop offers to drive you where you want to go, but you’re in charge of the way back to the shop when they call to say your car is fixed.
It’s a great service, and it guarantees my loyalty to that shop!
