It's better than yours! You see, he publishes entries every second or third day, he's got PHOTOS! :)) and most importantly - the Dutch girls in the sauna look very fine. ;) Forget about the aurora, the moos, the hares and the lakes - take the camera to sauna, man :))) ... and I've seen you so tired and so sick because of the altitude sickness you couldn't even speak anymore (and that's BAD in your case) but you were still clicking your camera like crazy. So don't you give me excuses about the heat in the sauna. Any word from the finish drinking champs?? Are you going to meet? And looks like I won't be able to come this year to visit you, looks like I'm gonna end up in Malavi. But I've got a friend living and working in Moscow now and I was thinking that maybe I could come to Finland with Lucia and than a few day later we (if you want to join us of course) take a train to St. Petersburg and to Moscow from there. Whadyathink? Hey Mladen, you should check agoranator’s blog, really! It’s better than yours!

Hello, I'm Carlos from Mexico (currently living below your flat actually). I was updating my blog, (which unfortunately is in spanish) and found your blog by coincidence. It's a nice thing when you actually read the experiences that you are currently living but from a quite different perspective. Take care. Hey! my friend Mladen on the web!

Since it takes up to 3 days for the solar wind to reach Earth's atmosphere, maybe this is what you saw when you gazed at your first aurora borealis. More strong eruptions are to follow in the next few days, so looks like you'll have plenty of chances to take more photos of aurora. Anyways, you can check the "Sun & Space Weather News" (yeah, if you can find websites dedicated to incinerating wrapped cheese slices on a grill, why not space weather news?) at http://www.spaceweather.com/. They also publish aurora alerts and looks like you won't sleep much today and tomorrow if you want to take some nice pictures (and publish them on the blog – FINALLY!!!): "AURORA ALERT! A coronal mass ejection (CME) is racing toward Earth and it could spark a severe geomagnetic storm when it arrives--perhaps tonight (Sept. 14th and 15th). People everywhere should be alert for auroras." I'm not sure about the "everywhere" though. I think I could look at the night sky for years here in Slovenia and only see aurora if I was properly drunk or something but that isn't very likely. At least not anymore :) So long my friend, try catching a hare, maybe they just want to race ya. And the moose is there to laugh his ass off :D Bajo 6 days ago, scientists recorded the 4. largest eruption on the sun in the last 15 years (http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/050908_solar_flare.html) that is supposed to affect radio communications here on Earth.
