Don't you hate the jet lag? Friendly hint for the next time: rent a car, with GPS, and set it to prefer highways. Much safer, much faster, but still enables possibility to get into trouble with natives:-) (and lost - just turn off the GPS;) In US, I once set the GPS to avoid-highways to see more natives. Well, saw enough for my taste. Afterwards I got hint from local colleague: you just should not get off from highways.. Just yesterday I came back from one week trip to Philadelphia and Seattle.

Just saw an advert for "taxi service in Kirkkonummi". Yes, we all know people that need taxis even in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirkkonummi" rel="nofollow">Kirkkonummi</a>. Um, if they ever go there. I guess the Google adsense algorithms are more intelligent than anybody thought. Just saw an advert for “taxi service in Kirkkonummi”.

Of course the only reason I think that it's great, is that unlike Timo, I have a boosted my map reading and urban survival skills, and have sense of direction chosen as a perk. :D :D
