Finnish election night in Nairobi

It was election day in Finland on Sunday. I was happy to be invited to follow the results' show at the home of a Finnish couple, working in Nairobi for the Finn Church Aid. 

 On the agenda was SAUNA, (which felt absolutely fantastic!), good food and of course, guessing the results of the elections. 

Here were my guesses - and with the tight race for second place, I did pretty well! 

The group of us consisted of Finns from all walks of life - some had stayed in Africa for 20 years, some for "just" a few. 

Being that there were a lot of people working for NGO's, development co-operation organizations and for the embassy, you can imagine how they reacted when we heard the results. With True Finns winning, there might be drastic changes to these people's lives...
