after a quick trip to east Finland, i can still make it with my idea about blogging at least tree times before i leave.
The last days i`ve spent 10hours in a train, but considering the weather i can`t see that i have missed anything.
I had this years first real great concert experience, and to be honest(and in the end isn`t that what we all want to be) it is going to be hard to beat.
it was the Finnish band Cleaning Women- name comes from that they play on self made instruments made of cleaning machines and dressing up like women, nothing like Hurra Torpedo.
they played music to the Russian Sci-fi classic Aelita-the Queen of Mars, from 1924.
and yes you guessed right; they go to Mars, a bored soldier, a crazy scientist and a confused detective. in the cargo; an accordion and what else than communism.
do they inspire to an armed revolution on mars you ask?
-well travel to Kirkenes and see for your selfs, coz apart form tour in Finland is also kirkenes blessed with a visit,
On the train to Joensuu i found that this guy wasn`t welcome in the bistro:
but what does it mean, is it Michael Jackson they don`t want, or people with hats or is it sneaking Film Noir private detectives they don`t trust with normal people...?
from Finland,

Always wanted to travel to Finland.
hei why not,
don`t miss the big coffee mugs and be sure to drop by Norway while in Scandinavia .
Your headline made me think about one of my favorite Seinfeld-quotes; Elaines angry "It means whatever the hell you want it to mean!!". Now what does THAT mean? Why is that one of my favorite quotes? It's not even funny..
Anyroads, good to hear your alive and kicking in Finlandia. Though you're probably home by now.
thanks for dropping by,
i think one of my favorites are "there you go monkey boy" also the one i uses most.
Same here: always wanted to go to Finland.
Hey man, what a groovy band + concept! Holy crap like :-D
they don`t have "Jante loven" over there so they do cool stuff with out caring what others might thing, read Aksel Sandemose lilly? is he danish or norwegian ?
He's both, Terje, look here. I'll try to read his stuff if I ever get a spare moment. I am currently reading Peter Fonda's autobiography -- but I've not had the time to finish it yet! Sigh.
Anyroads: a place without Janteloven -- wow; nice. I hate that flaming thing. I take it you guys have it in Norway too? I wonder who invented that shite.

its a Danish Norewegian invention
and we have it up here Big Time.
