Helsinki looks

2010-02-24T13:26:00.000+02:00

For a sense of Helsinki's street fashion have a look at Hel looks. The pictures are taken in the streets and clubs of Helsinki from July 2005 onwards.

It hasn't stopped snowing for weeks. As Maria said, first one has to find out which car is under the pile of snow. Click on the photo and you'll go to the Helsingin Sanomat site where the same photo is an interactive gallery. Have fun!

2009-11-06T15:58:00.003+02:00

Recently, "El maletero" was commenting on how nice and expensive Marimekko clothes are. This week we visited Marimekko's warehouse. The atmosphere is more relaxed than in the official shops and you can get some stuff at 30% off.

Long time since I last blogged about design stuff. Some feedback with el maletero de la viajera set the mood for this. Surely Finnish design lovers will be interested in the beta of thinglink.com. A web platform where designers can upload their catalogs and these can be commented by the visitors to the site.

Tortilles Españoles pero Franceses

2009-10-16T13:57:00.004+03:00

Vacuum "Spanish" tortillas can be found in the fridges of some Helsinki supermakets. The thing though is that are made in France. Interesting the "all i oli" tortilla concept since the regular Spanish tortilla already has garlic and egg. Click the photo to se it better: "Tortillas Espagnoles", priceless. Vive la Francia!
Nes neveres dellos supermercaos en Helsinki pueden topase tortilles "españoles" de patates. La cosa ye que tan feches en Francia.

The European shag in Asturies

2009-09-25T19:54:00.002+03:00

In the past I've posted about the nice video works of Jorge Chachero and also the very educative blog of David Álvarez. Now they joined efforts to make this nice short documentary about the problems of the European shag in Asturies. Please David, take care, it really looks unsafe the way you access the colonies. We need you and your collaborators in one piece!

Eeron juhla - Espichona d'Eero

2009-09-06T14:02:00.007+03:00

At last we celebrated the big cider party (and therefore the long silence in the blog). It was a wonderful experience, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks to all of you who made the effort to come, help in any way, thanks!! really unforgettable.
It is nice that the blog has been somehow unnecessary lately since most of the readers were here with us. Much better sharing common places and experiences live, rather than through the net. Also the Finns knew a bit more about messy (but fun) partying and Asturian cider drinking habits :)
Plenty of anecdotes raised from these days to fill many conversations and laugh for years to come: Airfrance managed to lose the luggage of all the visitors, late night adventures, many sauna visits, the lively Kallio, the lovely Finns...
I've made a gallery in Flickr about the party here, which I'll keep updating as I get new photos from people. To avoid embarrassing people publicly, only those listed as my friends in Flickr can access them. If you're not in my Flickr list and want to see the photos just let me know and I'll send a guest pass so you can see them. A special mention deserve Mari, Pau and Manu, without your selflessness and help this party wouldn't have been possible or, at the very least, it wouldn't have been perfect as it was. We have an endless gratitude to the three of you. Pau and Manu are especially brave leaving their love nest to the crazy (in a good way) Asturian crowd, which they didn't know. Even from Mozambique you were at the party with us and I believe you'll be always at the heart of our Asturian friends.
With love, Anne, Eero and Cano :)
Por fin cellebramos l'espichona (por eso'l llargu silenciu nel blog). Fue una esperiencia maravillosa, gracies, gracies, gracies, gracies, gracies, gracies, gracies a toos los que ficisteis l'esfuerzu de venir, echasteis un gabitu... gracies! D'alguna forma'l blog fue innecesariu estos díes porque la mayoría los llectores taben equí compartiendo llugares y esperiencies de primera mano. Cuánto meyor ye disfrutar de l'amistá y Helsinki en vivo envede por internet. Amás la xente de Finlandia pasolu teta cola fiesta desordenada y divertía, y conociendo'l mundu la sidra Asturiana. N'estos díes surxieron anéctodes asgaya pa enllenar munches conversaciones nel futuru y echar unes buenes rises: cómo Airfrance se les apañó pa perder toles maletes d'Asturies, saunes de too tipu, la nueche, l'animada vida de Kallio, los/es cariñosos/es Fineses...
Fice una galería en Flickr equí, recoyiendo les fotos de la espicha que sacó la xente. Iré actualizándola en cuantes que me lleguen más fotos. Pa evitar que naide se sienta mal agusto por tener les fotos en público, solo los que ten na mio llista d'amigos en Flickr pueden veles. Si nun tais na llista y quereis veles decímelo y mándovos un link pa que podais veles.
Agora que la mayoría sabeis d'Asturialainen Suomessa & family de primera mano, el blog garra otru sentíu. Yá nun ye namás una manera d'acercar el nuestru día a día a los que tais fuera, agora podeis rebuscar ente los posts vieyos y reconocer llugares y esperiencies. Prestaría si comentaseis no yá publicáu y qu'el blog tenga les vuestres esperiencies, un sentir de como ye esti país tan prestosu a través los vuestros güeyos. Mari, Manu y Pau merecen una mención especial. Ensin ellos esta fiesta nun saldría como salió: perfecta, igual hasta nun se llograba. Gracies pola vuestra actitú postiva y xenerosidá infinita. Especialmente admirable ye la valentía de Pau y Manu que dexaron el so ñerín d'amor a les hordes Asturianes. Aún desde Mozambique tuvisteis mui presentes na espicha y, pa mi idea, también quedais nel corazonín de tolos Asturianos que vinieron. Gracies!
Con amor, Cano, Anne y Eero :)

Camín de Cantares

2009-08-16T11:23:00.005+03:00

It is clear that there is not lack of talent in Asturies. In this video Pepín de Muñalén-flute and three good friends (Ambás-voice, Rubén-Mandolin and Elías-Bouzouki) show how beautiful Asturian music is. The video belongs to the TV series "Camín de Cantares" in the Asturian television, a must for lovers of oral tradition, hosted by Ambás. In the series, Ambás interviews elder Asturian people gathering songs and stories, which at the end of each show are performed by young musicians (as in this post's video). A priceless job from which you can see plenty of videos here
N'Asturies nun falta talentu. N'esti video Pepín de Muñalén-flauta y tres buenos amigos (Ambás-voz, Rubén-mandolina y Elás-Bouzouki) déxenlo bien claro con esti cantar.

While at Päijänne last weekend (see previous post) we ate some freshwater crabs and whitefish that we caught thanks to the nets and traps of Tiia's father. Smoking the fish was fun, place some Alder wood chips, Juniper leaves and sugar cubes on the bottom of a metallic box. Put the fish on top in a grid, close the box, put iton strong flames and wait for 20 minutes... delicious! you can see more photos about the process and ingredients here. The crabs where just boiled with dill

coses importantes sobre la sauna

2009-07-22T10:23:00.004+03:00

A very important thing for enjoying the sauna is having a relaxing place where to sit, discuss the meaning of life and enjoy your beer/cider. In Taploa, Anne and I use the two chairs next to the sauna others prefer the swing-coach in front of the main house

Una cosa mui importante pa disfrutar de la sauna ye tener un bon sitiu onde sentase a charrar con una cervecina/sidra. En Tapola, a Anne y a mí préstanos sentanos nes dos silles pegaes a la sauna, a otros tira-yos más el balancín delantre la casa

Three men were detained on the charge of having smuggled 85,000 litres of alcohol from Estonia to Finland. Despite Finland is EU member their laws about alcohol importing, taxation and selling are more restrictive than most of European countries. As a result Finland still lives episodes reminiscent from the prohibition times

Extracted from... People in Helsinki were invited to help create a massive art installation of flowers under the supervision of artist Kaisa Salmi. On Monday, in the pouring rain, Salmi and a band of Helsinki volunteers set up a labyrinth of 100,000 gerberas in front of the main railway station. The gerbera labyrinth will be on display until Friday. Nature, particularly flowers, are a recurring theme in Salmi's works. The aim of this installation is to show how important nature is to humans' surroundings and welfare. In 2007, foto below, Salmi recruited helpers to cover the steps of Parliament with 60,000 blooms.

In addition to enjoy the midsummer sauna, we had wonderful walks in the forest around Tapola

To spend midsummer we returned to Tapola (Anne's family house). Weather wasn't very sunny but this didn't stop us for having excellent sauna and barbeque

Last Friday Auro & Rá got married in Xixón. With great pain at my heart I couldn't be there. Fortunately, Xixón's City House has free wi-fi and my friends squeezed a laptop to see the ceremony, saying hello to many friends and showing Eero a bit around. It was fun to see the whole thing from Finland, even being mentioned during the event and greeted by the marrying couple in the middle of the whole thing. Internet is definitely a wonderful invention. I know, it would have been nicer being actually there but it was immensely better than not being at all.

Esti vienres casáronse Auro y Rá. Con gran pena nun pude dir. Por suerte, l'ayntamientu Xixón tien wi-fi llibre y los amiguinos apañaronse pa meter un portátil. Fue mui divertíu y emocionante ver tola ceremonia dende Finlandia. Ramonín (el conceyal oficiante) mencionome durante la ceremonia y los novios saludaronnos mientres yos lleíen los votos. Pudimos saludar a munchos amiguinos y enseñar un poquitín a Eero. Internet ye un inventu de traca. Yá se que prestaría más tar ellí de verdá pero fue inmensamente meyor que nun tar de ninguna manera.

ありがとう!
