Finally in Finland. Visited Kotiharju-Sauna the only wood fired sauna left in
Helsinki. And YES dear nonfinnish friends this WAS like the way u always
imagine a Sauna.... lots of old men with strubbly beards and biiiig tummies
yelling and moaning loudly... In other words I enjoyed myself. Highlight
surely was when some guy asked me to scrub hius back with a sponge.... He
didn't even stopped when I told him in my best finnish that I'm niot speaking
finnish. Later on had the questionable possibility to have pictures of me
taken in a lil photo-booth... well they were for my finnish bus association
students ID which supposedly will save me 20 bucks when I'll take the bus from
Jyväskylä to Oulu on thursday. Watched 2 very strange movies in the Helsinki
Film Festival. One was actually even german... NOW I know why all finns think
we are weird. Staying another 2 nights here then going on to Jyväskylä on
Monday. Tired like hell and suffering from an upset stomach.. apparently the
Pizza in Rosso wasn't as good as I thought.(Ok to admit I didn't think it was
good either). Hope mz tummy will get better. Has been quite some interesting 2
days here so far... **
