Cowschwitz

Long time no write. Well, my flatmate came to Finland for a week a while ago. It ended up being a binge, as was expected..

Day 1:
Kossuglögi (Finnish vodka Koskenkorva mixed with Glögg) in Riihimäki. Ken was immediately given shock-treatment by the Finnish alcohol prices. Welcome to hell, Scotsman.



Day 2:
Aulanko National Park. It started snowing the night Ken arrived. Rural Belarussian scenery avoided!



Started the evening with sauna and rolling in the snow behind the garage of our apartment building. Then Hämeenlinnaean karaoke and striptease feat. sweet xmas elf Melanie! Unfortunately only Ken has the photos of the babes and the dildos.. and of him winning the 2nd place in the Vuoden Pukki -competition (Goat of the Year).

Day 3.
Again reindeer for dinner. No more breadcheese for Ken, please.



In the evening we went to see some (Ice) Hockey Playing Knights. Millions of leather jackets. Finland is the place where cows come to die, Cowschwitz.



Later we headed to Helsinki and Redrum for Misf*ts club night. 'We are like in one those cool Scandinavian magazines of yours!' And so the money was gone.





Day 4.
Some sightseeing in Helsinki.



Ken, being a cheap Scot, made A. Asplund to give him one of his necklaces for free..



Then it was time for Turku; Ella's farewell party and my favourite club in the world - Dynamo!



Day 5.
Nintendo Wii, American Gladiators and booze tasting, perfect pre-party for another night of Dynamo-ing. Vlad, Absinth, mint, tar and liquorice vodkas do not result in sweet dreams; I was bitten in the eyeball by my evil ex-stepmom's dog and then beaten with an ice-hockey stick.

Day 6.
Tuomas joined us and we boarded the ship for Stockholm. Even getting kitchen oiled by a Swedish sex toy maniac the night before didn't spoil Ken's appetite. Between the three of us, we managed to down five bottles of wine in the buffet (and fail at stealing one) in 1.5h, which I consider a decent performance.





Day 7.
Wee tour in Gamla Stan of Stockholm to end Ken's stay.



Tuomas and I returned to Finland by another boat filled with trannies (1) and Gypos (10).

You don't have to be Oedipus to enjoy your mommy

As the day turned into night and December 1st finally arrived, flat 1/0 decided to officially welcome the festive season. Hats on, tree up, baby fetish on TV and voilà!
