Day 107 Snowing? it's the end of April!?

Today is 23 April, 2010. I woke up this morning, and found that it was snowing. Nope, I am not kidding, it IS snowing!

(Photo: See the snow flakes? oh and it was -3 degrees Celsius at night.)

I like the snow, but I am also quite worried about the environment. I mean, snowing in April might be odd even for Finland. Helsinki had extreme weather this year. We had the coldest and most snow winter this year. Hm... do I hear global warming?

Day 97 Sunset at 9pm

Helsinki is going crazier and crazier each day. When I first came here, I was complaining how the sky was never bright, and period of time we get daylight is so short. blah blah blah. But recently, sunrise is as early as 5 am and sunset is as late as 9 pm!

This is all so strange! I have come to the point where, I am never tired at night-time, but always extremely tired in the morning, and when i go out, sunlight starts pouring in, I have such headaches. ARGH.

Here is a glimpse of the beautiful sky:



Guess what time it was when I took this photo?
That's right! 9pm!

Compare the above picture with this one!



And there I thought Hong Kong has very distinct seasons!
