Another week in the life... minus spam

This weekend in Helsinki there was a huge Samba festival that was capped by a parade down Esplanadi around Stockmans onto Mannerheimintie. It was quite a sight. Ive never seen such scantily clad women in public (save the German tourists who thought that just because they were in Scandinavia they could take all their clothes off and make out on the beach...) shaking it to the whistling men on the parade route. As long as they enjoyed it...

After this I spent a day at Seurasaari with Hanski and Topi. The island is full of old buildings that have been transported from all over Finland to show what life was like at various times in history in Finland. It is truely worth a visit, as was evident by the massive number of tourists present.

Tempting fate


Maggots or worms or something. The attack a tree, eat all its leaves. They serioulsy cover the entire tree.


No trip to Seurasaari is complete without a picture of a squirrel
