Otto
Otto is the name of the ATM chain,it services the card of any bank in Finland.You dont have bank specific ATM's here.So far so good,the only problem is that you have only two langauge option there Finnish or swedish and if you use international ATM card then you are lucky to have the menu's in English.So it happened that i went to ATM to withdraw cash and since i have account with Nordea bank(a Finnish-Swedish bank ) the menu came up in Finnish.I have used ATM only twice till now cause most of the transaction can be done directly through cards and rest through Net banking so i never need to carry cash.So when the Finnish menu came up i tried withdrawing the money and i dont know what options i used the ATM withheld my Card and i was left with no card and no money.I had gone to Helsinki yesterday as our EVP HR was coming there from corporate office to meet all of us.When i went to Nordea to withdraw money they wanted to see my passport as identification and since i was not carrying passport i couldnt get money withdrawn.Luckily i always carry my credit card so didnt run into any trouble.
Well our EVP HR gave a presentation and we were shown the video clip wherein our company recieved the best Employer's award from Hewitt Associates.
The good thing was that after that meeting we had nice and excellent Indian dinner.Donno from which restataurant it was brought but it was better than the last office dinner during diwali celebration.After Dinner which was over by 8.30 pm Marcus suggested to go for drink in some bar so me,Sofia,Vijayendra,Praveen and Marcus went to a Belgian Bar.It was a good bar with nice ambience and was pretty crowded by Finnish standard.We had nice chat within all of us we discussed everything from Finnish drinking habit to the Tsunami in India.Marcus was pretty much inclined to keep the show till wee hours of morning but we had to come to Hameenlinna and our last bus was at 2345 so we all left.Anyway this was the only best thing that happened yesterday and maybe for today pending the outcome of our Skiing trip that we are going late evening today.
