Best book
This is difficult since I read a lot. I always carry a book with me when I travel. Jane Fonda’s My Life so Far was one that I enjoyed reading.
Best song
I’m still hesitating if it is Waiting in the Weeds by Eagles or The Long Road out of Eden by Eagles…
Best album
There’s absolutely no question about it: The Long Road out of Eden by Eagles. When listening to it in the car Petri said: “This sounds like in the 70’s”. Exactly! That’s the point. Except that I wasn’t really listening to Eagles in the 70’s but still…
Best radio
Haven’t found it yet. But I’m so disappointed with Radio Suomi: every evening they have some ice-hockey transmissions on. I mean who cares about that much ice-hockey? Not even me. I’ve been listening to Radio Vega instead and already see my Swedish improving…
Best film
I didn’t see any on the big screen either. I also enjoyed El Perro by Carlos Sorin and Brokeback Mountain by Ang Lee which I finally managed to see after one year from buying the DVD…
Best TV show
Amazing Race, Gilmore Girls, SATC, E.R. (even though we still haven’t seen most of the latest season…)
Best live show
I have to agree that it is “No bailaras” in Teatro Maipù
Best personal highlights 
- to feel that my horse is connecting with me
-Buenos Aires in February… I love the city!
- four-hour ride in Hevosharju with my cousin Inka in July
- some great customer-feedback…
Worst moments
Most of July-December 2007. Petri breaking his arm and some other stuff…
Best human friends
Nane, Päikki, Mari, Nella ja Kirsti. Kaisu -always!
Worst enemies
They are closer than they seem to be, that’s the lesson I have learnt…
Best newcomers in my life
Mari “The Horse Whisperer” Hyyrynen and all the nice people at Perla!
Best comeback in my life
My cousin Inka and my High School Class of 1989: we had a reunion in April.
Vanhat rötyt Nane ja Jozzu luokkakokouksessa.
I will miss…
Some people both from work and from private life… Presso -the most intelligent newspaper ever published in Finland.
Best waste of time
Sleeping! And I had to give in to Facebook…
Worst waste of time
Dealing with negative-minded people that steal all your energy; playing games either in business or in private…
Best meal
Dinners in Rome and sushi in Buenos Aires. Palak Paneer from Maharadja!
Best drink
Fernet Branca- soprattutto! Quilmes is my favorite beer (as it seems to be for my father-in-law as well…).
Best new item
I have to agree that it’s our new saddle.
Languages of the year
Spanish because of Argentina and Swedish because I started speaking it again with our riding-instructor Magnús! Now I even read in Swedish -horse magazines and books!
