I was walking throught the pizza/beer/thaimassage-district when I noticed a peculiar thing. A Turkish pizza-place was adverticing Makkaraperunat.
Makkaraperunat means chunks of cheap sousage deepfried with chips. This is the stuff Finnish people used to eat at the Grill on friday nights, before MC Donalds and Turkish pizza doninated the market.
But well now we have Turkish makkaraperunat.

2011-06-24 Karjala 6-1
I was buying some beer to celebrate the midsommer eve (like we do here in Persuomi), when I noticed an interesting new product.
Karjala 6-1, eng. Karelia 6-1. I guess it is supposed to remind us of Ice-hockey, but it also reminded me of a a numeric question asked by Paavo Haavikko: How is it possible that the land of the Karelian people have been taken 3 times, without ever been given back?

2011-05-17 Hipster boutiques in persuomi
Back in the old days, the small boutiques in Kallio sold cool streetwear for the hipsters, now thay sell hockey merchandice. Has the Finnish lion become cool and ironic enought for the hipsters, or has the hipster market become a niche too small to target your business?

Don´t tell me what to do
I do not know if the truckdriver just forgot his tabloid on the window, or if it was some kind of personal statement. Whatever his personal intentions were, I think visually it describes persuomi quite well. Truck, tabloid, Timo Soini and the slogan roughly translated "Do not tell me what to do".
The incredible moving statue
When I visited Mikkeli, for my surprice I noticed that the incredible moving statue of Marsalkka Mannerheim has moved again. I do not know if this is directly related to the big Jytky, but the staue has some history for moving around when politican balance changes.
