Took me years before I learned to stop doing small talk in Finland.

You ask someone here how they are, and you'd better be prepared for an answer.

Best ones I've had - and these were at work - were:

"Oh. Hi Matt. Yes. Well, I think my wife is seeing another guy."

" Yeah. Hi. Hmm. yeah. I think my daughter has started drinking."

If, they do it and they've known you for over 25 years, then it's at the end of a conversation.

- Hey Matt

- Hey Tomi. (Silence..) Tomi, can we move our meeting on Thursday to 2 o'clock?

- Yeah, sure. (Silence) You got a hot date or something?

*Then wonders which is better?  Gray or grey?* ?

*Stops wondering and takes a nap...* ?

Poor Bapu ! He was so busy buying plugs and choice musical toys he forgot to pay up on his Finnish Sauna card membership !

As a result , now his Finnish may be Bland .

Come Back soon Bapu ! We sure miss you !

This place is brilliant and in a great old part of Helsinki, Kallio.

Guys sit outside having a break just about all year round.
