Today's lesson

The best part about living in a foreign country is that every day you learn something new. Like today, for example. Today I learned that while open even on Sunday until 9 in the evening, on Satuday grocery stores close at 6. Yeah, even the little mini-mart type places that are the only thing open at Saturday are closed at 6. The only thing open seems to be the R-kioski's and the bars. That's Finnish prioritization for you.

And speaking of the grocery stores. In Finland the K Market line comes in 4 sizes. The size of the store determines the number of K's a store gets. K is a mini-shop. KK is a corner type shop. KKK is a supermarket, and KKKK is a citymarket. The KKK Supermarket has always hit me as ironically funny, for obvious reasons.
