Ditt och datt

Yesterday I went to the border between Asia and Europa. There was a big monument and I could stand with one leg in Asia and one in Europa. So touristic, but it had to be done! :) On the way back to the city we ate delicious sashlikis (some kind of grilled meat) and we also visited IKEA. IKEA was quite small, but I guess it looked like an IKEA should do. I bought gingerbread and knäckebröd. Knäckebröd is the best thing to always have at home in case you have forgot to buy bread. And of course – it tastes good as well. I have seen some Finnish products in the stores here. Many VALIO products, for example Oltermanni cheese. I have also seen Fazerina in one store.

As if it wasn't easy to understand the people here before, it really doesn't make it easier that the people in the stores and the restaurants are wearing masks because of the flu now... All I can hear is some mumbling behind the mask. Yesterday I didn't even understand a waitress who said da svidanja (good bye). This week the quarantine will be over and the students will return to the university. I will have quite many presentations this week.

Have a nice week!
