Kallio in red

Karhut

With the arrival of the Spring the bears got active. A mother with two cabs were spotted by two women hiking around Nuuksio (Natural Park well known by our visitors). The two hikers had to be picked up with an helicopter. Via...
Cola llegada la primavera los osos salieron a dar una vueltina. Dos paseantes nel parque natural de Nuuksio (bien conocíu poles nuestres visites) toparon una madre con dos esbardos. Les escursionistes tuvieron que ser recoyíes n'un helicópteru. Via...

Del nome d'estes tres tiendes, cuál vos llama más la atención?

Jääpallo

Being in Kallio we have the opportunity to sneak into Bandy games (not Ice Hockey). One week ago Helsinki's team HIFK beat Pori's Narukerä 10-2
Tando'n Kallio podemos colanos nos partíos de "Jääpallo/Bandy" (nun ye Hockey en xelu). La selmana pasada l'equipu Helsinki HIFK ganó a Narukerä de Pori 10-2

Dripping

The snow is going little by little and these guys below don't stop dripping
La nieve va marchando y los señores d'abaxu nun paren de pingar

Wanha Kaarle

In Wanha Kaarle you will find all kind of retro stuff, design lamps, toys, Arabia antiques... The Brazilian vendor is fun too
En Wanha Kaarle encuentres coses retro prestoses, llámpares, tazes y platos antiguos d'Arabia, xugetes... El dependiente Brasileñu también tien coña

Simplicity

Another thing I like is the simplicity of urban furniture in Finland. As an example this street lamp hanging in front of Kallio's library Otra cosa que me presta ye yo simple que ye'l mobiliaru urbanu en Finlandia. Como exemplu esta farola (o llámpara, ya que nun tien pié) delantre la biblioteca de Kallio

Antes qu'el xelu marche...

Before the ice goes we had a wonderful walk on the frozen sea with the best company
... aprovechamos el domingu pa dar un paseín na mar xelada cola meyor compañía

Stencylvania

Stencylvania is a cool site about Finnish street art
Stencylvania ye una web mui prestosa d'arte urbanu Finés

Lex Nokia

From now on in Finland, and thanks to the pressure of Nokia, public and private employers can have access at the e-mails of the employees. Via...
A partir d'hoi en Finalndia los empleadores públicos y privaos pueden acceder a tolos e-mails de los empleaos. Más n'El País...

Nubes de güelga xeneral

The Finnish government is promoting a new law where the minimum retirement age would be 65. Some unions are threatening with a general strike if the law goes through. In the photo a demonstration in Helsinki from the last general strike in 1956
El gobiernu Finés ta promoviendo una llei na que la edá mínima de xubilación queda en 65 años. Dalgunos sindicatos yá tan amenazando con güelga xeneral. Na foto una mani en Helsinki na última güelga xeneral en 1956

Hissi

It is difficult to see (in Asturies at least) that kind of old elevators. This one is in our current place
N'Asturies ye difícil topar tovía ascensores tan vieyos. Esti ta na casa onde tamos agora

Cosiquines

Walking around our present block one find such things. In this case I cannot make sense of it. It reads (literally) "it comes the train that will fix the hump" but I don't get it. Also I don't recognize the guy in the photo, it looks like Gorbachev with the eyebrows of Breznev. Any ideas?
Caminando cerca la casa na que tamos agora encuéntreste con estes cosines. El casu ye que ésta pegatina nun la acabo de pillar. Lliteralmente trae "vien el tren qu'arregla la xepa", amás nun sé quién ye'l paisanu. Dáseme un aire a Gorbachov coles ceyes de Breznev. Idees?

Nun mos falta de nada

In Alppiharju, the area of Kallio where we're in, we are very close to all the basic services one can think of. As an example the photo above: "paints at 2,2 euros all day". More photos of a walk around the block below
N'Alppiharju, la zona de Kallio onde tamos agora, tenemos tolos servicios básicos a tiru de piedra. Por exemplu na foto enrriba: "pintes a 2,2 euros too'l día". Fotos d'una vuelta a la manzana embaxu

Change of landscape

We're back to Kallio for a while. Less trees and more police
De vuelta a Kallio por una temporadina. Menos árboles y más policía

Ikkunat taas!

While the renovation of the pipes lasts (ca. two months), these are our provisional views
Mientres renueven les tuberíes (unos dos meses), estes son les nuestres vistes provisionales
