There in the Callella hotel, it was already after midnight, in one of the hotel bars we attempted to sing ABBA songs with Björnliga as much as everybody knew by heart. I was engaged with one Brazilian in a talk. Well, I didn’t know anything about Brazil, nor do they find Finland on the map of the world, but one of the members of that choir (The one standing just to the right) knew from Finland to the extent that he followed Tytti Yli-Viikari's tweets, because she was chief of State Audit Office. I didn't know anybody named Yli-Viikari but I found out on Wikipedia and it impressed me when a Finn gets to study French to a top university, and when I myself studied French a bit so and so, nowadays I follow her tweets too. (written some years after: Yli-Viikari was causing a large scandal a few years later: it was discovered, that she was traveling excessively around the world attending all kind of congresses on finnish state cost. She didn't want to disclose her air travel bonuses points, which she used for private purposes. So when newspapers published this, the finnish public was very annoyed by her high nosed behaviour and she had to leave her post in disgrace.sic transit gloria mundi) The echo in this church was really long, so these recordings are a bit ruined.
