Letting go

[kyrasantae]

I keep saying, "When I go to Finland this summer, I'll [blahblahblah]".

Reply: "You're going for sure now?"

No, and I'm normally quite the cynic, but POSITIVE THINKING, PEOPLES!

I think of all the things I would do there (if I get to stay an extra month after school's over or something like that):

• Way too much karaoke
  
• Try all those weird drinks like Salmiakkikossu, and become drunk iff it leads to that
  
• Watch a Viikate show/concert/thingy
  
• See an American movie with Finnish subtitles
  
• Buy way too many CDs (which ones? I don't really know yet.)

I know a number of those things run completely counter to things that I have so far stated that I believe in; but maybe the overwhelming force, call, and warmth of home will allow me to let it all go...

...to freedom.

Salmiakkikossu is way overrated, it tastes like bad Pastis. But you can find nice local alcohols too, such as arctic bramble or cloudberry liqueur. I even once found oven-baked apple liqueur. And if you don't like being around drunk people, don't go to bars (including karaoke ones) on week-end evenings.

And foreign movies are subtitled both in Finnish and Swedish at the same time.

The fun part is in the experimentation,
The pain is in overcoming (it's exactly like that around here too)
And except for pirated DVDs I've watched with random Malay subtitles, I've never seen a movie in my own language with subtitles halfway intelligible to me ;)
