Oulu is a
nice city to visit every now
and then. I have some experience about that, because I used to fly
frequently to Oulu earlier this millennium. You do not have to worry about the ice bears and reindeers at the Rotuaari walking street ;-)
The tricky
point was the travelling between Tampere and Oulu, because the direct flight
was stopped when I started to travel there. Waking up before 5 am at home and flying from Tampere to Oulu via Helsinki. I was often among the first ones to
arrive the office. I was also among the last ones to leave the office in order
to get back to home after 10 pm. Once or twice a week for couple of years and it became
almost a routine. Colleagues were skilled, friendly and we really drove change.
After all
those years, the reward was Finnair Plus gold card. What more could you expect
after all the commitment. During one of the trips I got an unexpected bonus, i.e. one night
at the hotel room that had a private sauna (that has not happened ever again in
my career). Unfortunately in all that excitement I did not realize to invite
all the friends to a sauna party. Like a typical Finn, I enjoyed it all alone.
Lessons learnt:
If you work
hard, all the effort will be rewarded (sooner or later).
