    Population roughly 690,000 in the city proper, 1.6 million in the metro area. Very impressive!

      Polkupyöräilijöiden kuolonkolari Helsingissä

      All these diaereses look so angry in the first word. I can’t understand a word of Finnish but it’s like I can feel how dramatic the event is.

      … Actually, I looked it up and it seems that “Polkupyöräilijöiden” just means “cyclists”, whereas the word for “fatal accident” doesn’t have a single diaeresis. What a strange, misleading language. Joke aside, I’m sorry for the person who died. :-(

      Living in the eastern part of the country, I can tell everyone that I have not missed Russian drivers even though our traffic is nothing compared to Helsinki

      Also, no more unreturned shopping carts in the parking lot! At least a lot less than before the border closure, and that’s straight from a hypermarket worker
