hello,

for the “hi, I’m not from the US” ask set … honestly? they all sound fun, i don’t know what to pick. maybe a random generator can help 😂

it’s decided: 27, 23, 9, 10, 15 pls :)

27. favourite national celebrity?

CHERRY FROM STUDIO KILLERS

23. which alcoholic beverage is the favoured one in your country?

I think most people will say koskenkorva, which is a type of spirit. but I raise you one more and bring forth the drink I give as a souvenir to anyone not-finnish, SALMARI, which is a liquorice-flavored liqueur. however, it traditionally made from, you know it, koskenkorva

9. which of your neighbouring countries would you like to visit most/know best?

I lived in norway for 6 months so I think I know norway the best. I've also been to sweden several times. I've been really craving a trip to estonia, the last time I went I was really little!

10. most enjoyable swear word in your native language?

the traditional one is of course "perkele" (doesn't translate) and the one people say the most is "vittu" (fuck), but I'm known to hiss "saatana" (satan) under my breath a lot

15. a saying, joke, or hermetic meme that only people from your country will get?

let me tell you about ASIA SELVÄ SIIDERI. for context, the sly cooper games are CRAZY popular in finland. I too played them religiously as a kid. in the finnish dub of sly cooper 2, in the very beginning of the game bentley and sly are talking about the heist they are about to go on. their characters are established by bentley giving sly instructions and referring to both himself and sly with code names.

in the english dub he says "breaker alpha foxtrot, this is the wizard, do you read me sitting duck?" and sly responds "this is peking duck, I hear you blizzard." bentley goes "no sly, I'm 'the wizard' and you're 'sitting duck'" and sly quips "I read you loud and clear, lizard."

NOW THEY CHOSE THE CHAOTIC ROUTE IN TRANSLATING THIS meaning bentley begins "alpha foxtrot, this is tiger, do you hear me sitting duck?". key here is the word "tiger", tiikeri. sly responds "this is peking duck, I hear you well" and then calls bentley viineri, a type of pastry. bentley says "no sly, I'm tiger, and you're sitting duck". AND SLY SAYS *bites my fist* HE SAYS "ASIA SELVÄ SIIDERI", MEANING "ALRIGHT, CIDER"

AND THE WAY THE VOICE ACTOR DELIVERS THE LINE. SOUNDING VERY ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE. IT'S JUST BEAUTIFUL AND SO FINNISH

here's a clip of the scene. I quote it on the regular

Hey! Are there any other cool places in Helsinki that you like?

Fratello Torrefazione is Italian cafe which makes awesome ice cream, also vegan. Their lunches are pretty often sold out during lunch hour. You’ll find it from Kluuvi shopping mall.

G´lato Fresco Artiaco is an Italian ice cream bar with the best ice cream you can find in whole Helsinki! Everything is hand made at the store, also with vegan options. You can find it from Forum shopping mall at the central.

Next to Fratello in Kluuvi mall there’s tea shop Chaya with awesome tea collection! You can freely sniff the samples and they offer 100g and 30g bags of all their teas. Try out their Cactus Fig or Scottish Puh Er teas!

KakkuGalleria is an all you can eat cake buffet! Pay for your drink and cakes and eat as much cake as you ever can, without any time limit! Cheesecakes, tarts, pies, mousse cakes... They have lactose free, gluten free and vegan options, at least one, every time at hand. Their buffet prices range from 12 to 15 euro depending what you want to drink. KakkuGalleria is at Fredrikinkatu 41.

Steam Hellsinki is Finland’s only steampunk themed bar. It opens at 4pm and during Monday-Thursday it is very quiet and peaceful all the way till 9pm, so it’s a perfect place to sit down for a while. I come here whenever I need to meet someone because it’s so peaceful and right in the central. On the weekends it’s always packed full. They offer regular tea and cafe and alcohol-free mocktails, and a teapot for 2 people costs only 3 euro. Their specialty is gin. Steam Hellsinki is next to Kamppi shopping mall, at Olavinkatu 1.

Théhuone is tea shop with cafe specialized in Asian teas. You can order a tea ceremony from them. They offer small things for eating and also matcha chocolate, mactha latte and matcha. Théhuone is in central, at Eerikinkatu 10.

Teemaa is a smaller tea shop with a few seats, specialized in Chinese teas, ran by a lovely Chinese lady. They have the cheapest real matcha available (3,5 euro compared to Théhuone’s 7 euro matcha cup). It’s very comfortable and you always get some extra tea samples for tasting. Teemaa is at Annakatu 19, near Old Church Park (also known as Plague park with some graves still intact there).

The Ounce is a Russian tea store with a cafe, specialized in flavored teas. Their selection is high in quality and their Irish Whiskey Tea is one of the best black teas I have ever had. Very classic place and feels like you’d travel back in time to 19th century! Try out their Romeo & Juliet, Sumuinen Saari (Misty Island), Creme Brule, Irish Whiskey, Kiinalaisen Rakastajan Unelma (The Dream of The Chinese Lover) and Bengalin Tiikeri (Bengali Tiger) teas.The Ounce is at Fredrikinkatu 55

Next door to The Ounce is Helsinki’s Cat Cafe Helkatti! :3c

Manga, anime, game and comic fans should head to Fantasiapelit at central at Mannerheimintie 3. Note that manga and comics are rarely translated in Finnish, so 95% of their selection is in English.
