And the life goes on...

I bought about 35 years ago in NYC a record of Giannis Kalatzis and one of the melodies was called "Ke i zoi sinehizete", which means "And the life goes on".
I have today just that feeling, my last writings on this site are almost a month ago. The life just goes on. I don´t even remember anymore what I was doing after October 15! But if I look at my notebook, I remember that there was the Helsinki Book Fair at the end of October and it lasted for four days, and I was there every day. Then, November 3, I flew to Canary Islands together with about 150 other dance freaks, and we had the 7th Baile Retro Dance Course there!
We had pasodoble, rumba, salsa, cha-cha and other Latin American dances every day. First the teachers showed us how to dance in the lessons before and after noon, and then in the evening we had free practise in the Casbah Square with music.
I came back home last night.
And today I attended a lunch for Finnair retirees in Helsinki, and one of Finnair managers, Mr. Turtiainen, told us that last year, first time in the history, the sales of Finnair tickets in Japan was bigger than the sales in Finland!
And Finnair is now the third biggest carrier between Asia and Europe, after Lufthansa and Air France/KLM!
So, we can say that, like Nokia, also Finnair is now an international company, and "connecting people"!
