Menno (Helsinki Update Part IV - and last)
The headline says it all, right? Actually I wanted to today no longer online, but at 12 we had to clock out of the hostel to check out, and our bus will likely only by 18 clock. (If we find him because ... I suspect old pessimist yes again the worst.) And since you can with "buy-Esskram-for-the-ride-and-then-so-hang" may not sell a whole day I'm just landed back in the "Library 10".
Yesterday we wanted to eat the culmination of something absolutely typical Finnish. So were in the restaurant "Zetor" in the inner city. The thing is just cult! Inside everything from wood and decorated with images like a Jagdhuette or tractors that have been converted into a bar. One can not describe, it's definitely a really cozy atmosphere. While duck (my brother) it was not quite as Finnish and chicken breast ordered with mushroom sauce, I tried it once with Elchgeschnetzeltem with cranberries and mashed potatoes. I must say - fascinating. And now I can at least say with a clear conscience of having once eaten moose.
Then we met up with Susanna, and hung around a bit in Esplanade Park. That is, not exclusively - we were on the Senate Square and the observatory where you can observe from the surrounding park quite well to the south port. It was really nice there, and Susanna and I had a little linguistic discussion. I mean, we tried the "r" to express the other language. Believe it or not, but the Finnish "r" always led me to the fact that I almost tongue bite. Well, maybe I'll learn it eventually.
Overnight, something occurred to me is typical of Finland, which I will miss: The Karelian thingy ... Pies critters ... I always forget how hot they are, but there are rice (mostly) Gebäckstuecke stuffed and delicious. The Finns used them as bread basket, and as cheese on it, but I am content to eat them best. After I get me a few of them for the trip. On the ferry, it is also expensive but damn! While you are German time, however, Finnish prices with a certain "We are the only suppliers, haha" award. So we make them upset by the statement and cover us properly with food and drinks.
Ah yes, the Finnish drinks ... They have Fanta places I've never seen before, and anyway a lot of unusual things. Pineapple lemonade is one of them (and pretty awesome if I may say so). Or the juices: pineapple-mandarin is my new dream combination. They also seem to anything drinkable with strawberry and mango flavor to stand. I have never seen food Mangoeistee ...
By the way: I've bought a Finnish-German dictionary. More specifically, Suomi-Saksa-Suomi. Yes, Suomi, Finland / Finnish and Saksa is German (Germany). Sounds strange, but Sun Here it seems to us not to think of Germans, but in Saxony. Well, the French have it all the more with men, but as long as we associate no one with the vandals, I am satisfied. Although that definitely do some ... at least since Bravo & Co. ..
Let's see how I feel when I'm back in Germany. One thing is certain: I must discourage myself to speak English with everyone. At least I'm starting to have to think in English, and this is usually an indication of future confusion. And then once photos are considered: Yes, a digicam is a brilliant invention. Hm, let's see when I get to that - maybe I'll stay a few more days with my parents because I somehow uncomfortable with the idea after Essen zurueckzufahren. Vielleicht, weil dann alle alten Probleme wieder auf mich einbrechen. Das kann gerne noch ein paar Tage warten. Ausserdem ist vermutlich am Wochenende Grossflohmarkt in Eutin, und ich trage mich mit dem Gedanken, ein paar alte Freunde anzuklingeln. Und schliesslich hat Ente einen PC mit Internetanschluss, woran es mir daheim noch irgendwie mangelt. Es steht zwar zur Aussicht, dass wir uns bei unserer neuen Nachbarin einklinken können, aber bei meinem Glueck dauert das noch ein paar Monate, wenn es ueberhaupt klappt...
He, weg mit dem Pessimismus. Ich will schliesslich nicht, dass meine letzte Erinnerung an Helsinki von schlechter Stimmung geprägt ist. Also: Kopf hoch, tief durchatmen und ein letztes Mal auf ins Stadtgetuemmel...
heul *... ...*
Ystävällisin terveisin,
Taistelija
