hey hey, Helsinki is closer than Vilnius!

Hehe, the top two Fixers are from the Netherlands 🙂

We won’t mention how many we opened that same weekend or it seems counter-productive. (It wasn’t, it was super productive =)

Domas, was your shirt an attempt at playing “where is waldo?”
:p

Yeap, it was really productive. And meeting local people and sightseeing was really nice. But post more pictures! 😉
PS: There should be a group pic somewhere with me on it — sorry for being late ^.^
