Freaky americans. They’re here at the gate, talking to complete strangers… ;P
Ziva says (12:51):
Yeah, they do that.
M says (12:51):
Shouldn’t it be prohibited somehow?
Ziva says (12:52):
Like with a sign that says "no friendliness allowed?”
M says (12:52):
That might work. They should at least have some sort of control over it when people are flying to Finland.
M says (12:53):
They could be standing at check-in and ask all sorts of tricky questions and make sure that people know that it’s strictly forbidden to talk to strangers while you’re in Finland.
Ziva says (12:53):
Well we definitely need it. It’s not like we could let a bunch of people into Finland that actually have some social skills. Everything our society is built upon would be ruined.
M says (12:53):
Exactly.
That said, if you don’t mind unfriendly locals, 2011 is definitely the time to come visit me here in Turku. Yesterday’s opening ceremony was very artsy, and I’m sure we’ll be able to conjure up some perfectly decent culture for you if you come. Take my brother, for example, he’s 14 and for Christmas he got his first guitar. In three weeks, he’s not only managed to teach himself how to play the thing, now he’s also composing original songs.
How’s that for culture.
Still not convinced Turku is the place to be in 2011? No problem. Just wait until 2012 and attend my wedding instead, I hear it’s going to be quite the party. *
