September 2015

In a year 1925 on a Laurin&Klement factory, that was going through a great connection with a Skoda concern at that moment, in Czech city of Mlada-Boleslav a new car was made. It appeared to be a true symbol of that period in a brand history, cause had two names on it: “Laurin&Klement” on a radiator enclosure and “Skoda” – a little higher. Isn’t it just a perfect moment to produce such car, when the world itself was in a middle of going from the new to the newest age of history?

We had a chance to get know it better during our trip to Czech with Skoda this summer. Old cars of the brand were waiting for us in a romantic Loucen castle. 

You know, what, friends? Looks like my world is never gonna be the same again! Because of two reasons. And the first one is this absolutely fabilous, magical sunset outside the Heaven 23 restaurant windows in Gothenburg (Sweden) earlier today. It painted all the old rooftops and interior details into an electro-orange color, turning them into one big fairy tail. People stared at it, took photos of it, were obviously amazed by it. 

And the second reason is…

I just love how perfect are Finnish holidays in the way of their relaxation. Like nowhere else, you feel here like you owe nothing to others here. No need to rush through all the sights if you’re not in a mood for it, you can easily stay in bed till lunch or even spend all your vacation without leaving the hotel – and no one would ever blame you for that. And it’s not because of standarts of trying to be polite with tourists. It’s just in the nature of Finnish people. They know, how to enjoy every moment of life and appreciate what they have right now, without waiting for a better future or smth. You can forget about conventionalities and just deep into what you really like. And only because of that all the hotels and resorts we had a chance to visit this summer were organized the way it is the most comfortable for everyone to have the best rest ever without going far away. 

I want to be honest with you – I couldn’t even imagine it was so hard to produce timelapse video! After Alesha asked me to help him, I felt so much pain in my back and legs… And all that for just 30 SECONDS! Beautiful, but such a short result…

So why is it actually so hard? 

Honestly, I’m not always the type of person you expect me to be. And I even enjoy telling my “unknown” characteristics, always followed by an unpredictable reactions! The thing is, despite beeing a journalist, I’m also a very shy person, finding it hard to communicate with other people. I’m never the one to introduce myself first; in a new company I prefer to keep silence; can’t make a single call for ages and love the moments I can stay in front of my computer the most of all. Well, it’s been a little easier lately – I learned to force myself to communicate with important people, at least…
