November 1996<\/strong> (continued):<\/strong><\/p>\n

After after my radio talent seminar in Vienna<\/a>, The next day was devoted solely to travel. There are no direct flights between Vienna and Helsinki, so I flew first to Copenhagen and then caught another flight to Finland.<\/p>\n

I was met at the airport by Agneta Mall\u00e9n, who drove me to my hotel.
\nDuring check-in, the front desk clerk started to give me electrical adaptor that, apparently, they had been told I had to have. It was obvious that someone from my host, YLE, had made a big deal about this, due to the problems I had experienced there during my previous visit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Suddenly the desk clerk looked at me again and asked, “Were you here about six months ago?”<\/p>\n

She still remembered the American who had all that trouble connecting his computer all those months ago.<\/p>\n

The next day was a fairly typical workday for me. I conducted Building A Winning Morning Show<\/strong><\/a> for YLE in morning and How To Motivate & Critique Air Talent<\/strong> in the afternoon.<\/p>\n

As soon as we finished, I immediately climbed into a taxi to the airport, flew to London, checked into a hotel just outside Heathrow airport, and went to sleep. The following day I checked out, went back to the airport, and flew back home to Los Angeles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
