Sommaren är bort

Kesän muistolle. In memory of the Summer.

Country & Eastern Finland

Finnish songs are melancholic and often sang by alcoholics.

Culture posse

Here´s a pick from the album "Apartment house and the cannibals". Janitors twin boys are trying to join a infamous culture gang.

Ote "Taloyhtiö ja kannibaalit"-albumista, taas, mutta pitkästä aikaa. Huoltomies Arvin kaksoispojat pyrkivät jengiin, jossa täysjäseninä näyttää olevan mm Sibelius vanhana ja nuorena.

Diagnosis

English summary:

- Well, the tests show nothing out off ordinary...Good news are, the thing grows only from one ear and it is wonderfully colored. Have you, by the way, had any contact with other forms of life from outer space?

- Only now and then

The time of the year

Right now, here in Finland the woods are full of ripening mushrooms. Following dialogue between a colonel and a wanna-be chanterelle is difficult to translate, but, then again, the story is going nowhere so you not missing much. 

Varttuneimmat lukijat muistanevat 80-luvun, jolloin Suomen metsiin ilmestyi elämäntapaintiaaneja. 

Apteekissa

This is language course to all non finnish speaking readers. Try to figure out what Susan, 31, is saying to the nice lady in pharmacy´s.

Art from south-west Finland

Todays blogging is a mural painting from the ceiling of Turku (Finland) City Hall. It is called "Surffaaja tökkää sormella itseään 25 vuotta vanhempana silmään".

The land of the free tulips

Vacation theme continues. This blogging travels to Amsterdam coffee shops just to show that tourist are equally stupid everywhere.

Etsivä Kyttä

Todays blogging is a thriller. Detective Kyttäs  instinc tells him that pieces start falling together.

Local delicassy

A tour around the places continues. A town called Nakkila (Finland) is famous of it´s Lampetra fluviatilis ( http://www.arkive.org/river-lamprey/lampetra-fluviatilis/video-07.html ), It´s a creature preying upon fish blood and looks like a missing link between fish, worm and slime. Locals consider these as a treat. There is not much going on in Nakkila, so the Lampetra season is about the only time of the year when Nakkila people can have any fun at all. Unfortunately, Lampetras are extinct from the river running trough Nakkila. That means all the people who used to fish Lampetras have lost they jobs. Many of them have started small restaurants combining the ancient art of baking Lampetras (nowadays imported, obviously) and Finnish national food, pizza. The taste of pizza "frutti di fiume" with extra Lampetra has a distictive taste that might be even a bit too distinctive for some tourist.
