Travelling! and A to E...

I will be travelling to Canada tomorrow morning.
My flat is a disaster zone right now as I have my third load of laundry (blankets/towels etc. for our dog sitters) going....the dish washer going and my son screaming at me non-stop.
I'm un-believably tired (running on 5 hours of sleep but feels like less) and pissed off because I cannot remember what is packed in what.  However, I did make a list last night and am slowly checking things off.

My son is teething and that is also putting a damper on travelling...where did the "Super Happy Morning Kid" go?!

Some things you should know while travelling in Finland...

It is the law to wear your seat belt while in a taxi.  It is recommended and I believe the law also in Canada - but many people don't for some reason but do while driving their own vehicle or with family/friends.

If you go to the Emergency facilities of the hospital - you meet with a nurse who determines how serious your condition is.  You are ranked on your form you give to your doctor between A (super unbelievably serious/life threatening) to E (you have a long wait if there are other patients ahead of you).
It's a good system actually - I haven't heard of anybody dying in the waiting room while waiting for help.  Unlike some places in Canada (cough cough - Nova Scotia).

Sorry the kid's screaming - gotta jet.
