I'm on vacation

I'm on my vacation. We've already been to a Madonna concert and next week we'll go camping to northern Finland which is sparsely populated and the same goes for the northern parts of neighboring Norway and Sweden. This is the place to go in Europe if you want to experience the great wilderness. In short Internet cafes can be hard to find. But I'll write longer posts after my vacation...

  1. How was the Madonna concert? I've always wanted to go to one.

  2. I don't know many people that can move like her and she's 50 and do it for 2 hours!! She's in an amazing shape. The stage was huge. The thing is that this concert was the biggest commercial (free concerts seems to draw more people for some strange reason) concert ever held in northern Europe and the biggest on this tour. It was in a harbor area, basically a BIG parking lot and her stage was in the middle of that. 85 000 people had bought tickets and a few 10 000s outside the fence. Everybody was at ground level so she was this little person far away that you could spot with binoculars between two tall guys head in front of you. There where four screens where you cold see a little bit better what was happening on stage. The tickets where 99€ ($140) and I think her show and the music where worth it but for a few 10s of euros more we could have bought tickets that had put us in eye contact range with her.
