Toou moochi lakritsi, ai ai!

Written on August 15, 2007 by Marco

LakritsiI have had so many types of licorice today that I really feel suuper-duuper-sikk. Been in Helsinki for two fab­u­lous days now going to great stores and watch­ing finns hav­ing a great late sum­mer days. Did you know that finnish is com­pletely uncom­pre­hen­si­ble, but really beu­ti­ful as a lan­guage? When­ever they speak to me, I pre­tend I just didn’t hear them so that they will repeat them­selves to me. After let­ting those spritzy sounds sink in, I sheep­ishly admit I only speak eng­lish. That is not nice of me at all, but I can’t help it. When peo­ple don’t hear me, I utter some mock-finnish just because I like it — I like the sounds as much as I like the place. I am host­ing a crush on Helsinki in sum­mer­dress… /Marco

    I was work­ing late into the night, star­ing at my com­puter for hours and thought of Kiosk and why I haven’t been by lately to hear some sto­ries of places more fan­tas­tic than my apart­ment and thought of you, Alisa and Marco. I don’t have to call the shop to see if you are around or leave a lonely “are you back yet” voice­mail: I can just check your blog! You have no idea how happy it makes me to think that you are some­where in the world gath­er­ing good­ies, get­ting stuck in air­ports and eat­ing too much candy. What about cof­fee? Cof­fee? Let’s have some cof­fee from Fin­land soon.

    It’s called Kahve here! Kahve! They drink more of it that any other coun­try (but appar­ently US is a runner-up…).
