I will miss Finland!

To all of my Friends from Erasmus 2008 in Helsinki Finland this is for you. You will all be missed but not forgotten. Special thanks to Russel for inspiring me with his post.

So the things I will miss from Finland:

Crazy nights at Redrum and Rose garden Ending too Bright.

My roommate's Anka, Noudie, Eric, and Antti.

Mental issues at the cabin.

Lunch at Arcada, yum gruel.

Random Finnish drunks harassing us every party.

Free sauna nights.

Jumping in Freezing water naked in Between the sauna.

Chilling with Julian.

Watching Eric dance and say delicious.

Peter Milden's Classes.

Al of my friends at Vaino and Majstranden.

Crazy parties where the neighbours complaining at 10 15 pm.

Visiting the Islands.

Talking smack with Frank.

Dieter's obnoxious laugh.

Sitz parties.

Strangely Fissu and Salmiaki shots.

Cheep watery Finish koff beer.

Hagalslaf with Noudie.

The moustache brothers.

Cleaning parties at my flat.

The Finnish "Ish"

Joking with Eva.

Watching Adrian meet all the ladies.

Kick the Soccer ball with Julian and Christoph.

Martin being Martin.

My South African friends, Natasha, Russel and all the rest.

Jeanette Dancing on the table.

Everyone telling me to shave my moustache.

All the great times we had traveling laughing and Joking.

Crossing the street in Moscow.

My little sister Petsko.

My tutor Lotta.

All the "Good times we had"!



This is what you all really think of the Mustache, caught on tape in London.

The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly/ Lost in Translation

Here is a mishmash of the good, bad and the ugly as well as things that get lost in translation From Europe. I saw all of these things in Finland, Russia, Estonia and Malian Italy . You may want to look closely at each so click to enlarge the pics . Enjoi!


3 to4 am super packed in Helsinki.What they have in Milan.
Probably more funny if you know that this Milan restaurant would basically translate to toilet in the UK.
Prosciutto Shaved right off the leg in Milan. yum yum!


This is actually in West Vancouver but was too funny to leave out.Surprisingly not in the UK.




Big or small whatever you like to snack on.
Sorry, what exactly are you selling?
My favorite Indian Restaurant the Namaskar express in Helsinki has a good senses of humor and great cheap food.

Strange, but it exists in Helsinki and all around Finland, Luckily not associated with the "KKK" from the US.


Hey little Jimmy wanna have a trip?Look closely at the desert menu. Hum Spotted Dick anyone?
What happens in Finland.

We went to see Santa, too bad he is a profiteer and charges $50 CAD for a picture.
Helsinki's Balancing Superman.






A bit hard to see but it's a grandma drinking Cider at 730 am before getting on the boat to Estonia. She and everyone 17 to 70 start drinking at 730 am before the boat to Tallinn.


Helsinki railway station at 11pm.
A race to explode the condom on the way to a school ski trip.
