There is a traditional Finnish concept called "pikkujoulut". If you translate it it means "Small Christmas", it's basically a party where people get super wasted and next day some are more embarassed than others on what happened... Companies arrange Pikkujoulut for the employees every year, there are always some people "hooking up" and realizing it was a BIG mistake and then those people are the topic of discussion for a while at the office. It's been like this in all the companies I've worked for in Finland...
Well we had a Pikkujoulut party here with some Finns in Beijing. There were Finnish drinks (glögi!), food, candy etc, the only thing we left out was the awkwardness the day after :PThe guys were giving directions to someone who didn't know the place, 3 minds are more than 1, right?
