White Nights in Helsinki

When traveling to Helsinki, Finland to participate in the annual customer summit of the Global Intelligence Alliance, a partnering company I have been working with for several years now, I am always stunned by the atmosphere at night in June.

Not as bright as St. Petersburg at the same time at night (here is a great explanation for the phenomenon) it is still stunning how empty a seamingly busy capital can be at (near) daylight. It makes sense again though when checking your wristwatch at 3:20 in the morning.

Another advantage when stumbling out of a bar at that time of night: public restrooms are always accessible as well...
