It has been brought to my attention that a user profile was required to post a comment on the blog. This has been changed. Anyone should be able to comment now.

I uploaded some photos (I haven't been taking a ton, but I promise I will start).

welcome...

hello dear readers and welcome to mike in finland, the home of my travels and adventures on the internet. I plan to post semi-periodic updates on my life abroad. For those who don't know or would just like a refresher. I am in Finland on a 5-1/2 month adventure. I will be studying at Helsinki University of Technology in Espoo, Finland until mid-May and then will be traveling around europe until June 11 at which point I will return to the states.

Now I know you may be wondering: "Hey, how do I get a hold of mike while he is in Finland?" or "Wait a minute, where the heck is Finland/Helsinki/Espoo?". Well this blog will be your answer. I will post contact info as soon as I know it, and in this post I have posted a link to a map that shows Helsinki, the location of the school and the approximate location of my apartment. At the moment I am planning on using Google's photo service, Picasa to create web albums for my pictures which I will also link to from this blog. The address for that site is http://picasaweb.google.com/mlukacov. Until next time...
