Still having fun in Finland. The middle tap dispenses something called “Long Drink”. I didn’t try it.
We spent an evening at Vaakahuoneen Paviljonki watching the Siberian Teachers, a jazz band. Not sure where they’re from.
Turku’s castle proved a nice place to hide out from the sun.
When walking down the street in Turku, one needs to watch out for balls, children, and flying cars. Children need to watch out for falling barns.
Graduation day. Sailor hats are worn by partying graduates in both cities.
Industrial Tampere.
Meat sword. At viking-themed restaurant Harald (there’s one in Tampere and one in Turku). My veggie dish was good, too.
The Long Drink (a.k.a. lonkero) is kind of like a gin and tonic, but the tonic is replaced with grapefruit soda. It's actually quite refreshing, goes down very easily, and will have you speaking fluent Finnish after you drink two or three.
the meat sword!
Another country I must see!!
TBF – 'Lonkero' sounds way more intriguing… in the end I did try it, but only one, so alas I did not get to enjoy its magic liguistic-skill-giving power. Next time.
Laura – Cute, isn't it?
Jennie – So many countries make me feel that way. How will we ever get to them all?
