http://backinhelsinki.blogspot.com/2007/02/we-are-famous.html
Thursday, February 1, 2007. Has noticed frequent comments, and even asked his co-workers whether we are them! How do you make a flattered smiley? The things which lead to opening of this blog were. Two us us get frequent visits of former co-workers , who travel so much they want to see something else than the hotel lobby and minibar. The hosts keep needing links to sport-places etc. Two of us (but not the same two) wanted to comment blogs which do not allow anonymous comments. View my complete profile.
