The life of a Moomin

I'm baaack!

Since we taped the whole weekend, I'm not gonna write a long emotional post, because I promise you that when I finally get my new video editing program I will edit the videos together and you'll see both laughter and tears (and Yvan Rodic's look alike too!) live.
But shortly about the trip.

We sailed to Helsinki on Friday and my menu that evening looked something like this:
Starter:
Chocolate cake with chocolate ice-cream, chocolate mousse and tirmisu, covered with chocolate candies
Pizza
Fries with meatballs
Tons of salmon
Some salad
And as you may guess, I didn't make it till main course and dessert...

After that, both me and Britt promised we'll never eat again. That promise lasted until we both arrived at our apartment and found out there was a HUGE bowl of candies in our room. And what's even worse, it refilled itself! Literally, you ate half of the fillings and few moments later there was twice as much as when we first saw the bowl. Magic.

But about the first day then.
In the morning we went to the flea market which usually was located at the Hietalahti square, but since the winter season was still on, it took place in some ice hall. I don't even know if it was a good or a bad thing. It was larger and we spent twice as much money as usually...but you got TONS of neat things... (I'll show you the purchases in another post!)

After the huge flea market, we visited a smaller one. Boxes with old photographs were a hit, I spent so much time trying to peak into strangers' lives. We also went through the legendary bow-boxes and boxes filled with just random things.

The last stop was vintage boutique Nasta. We lef the store empty handed.
After the rough work of shopping, we went to the port and just walked around in the old town.

I'm baaack! Kuna kogu nädalavahetust sai ka filmitud, ei hakka ma mingit väga emotsionaalset postitust tegema, sest ma luban teile, et kui ma ükskord aega saan, et see video kokku panna, näete te nii naeru kui ka pisaraid (ja Yvan Rodicu teisikut ka vb). Aga reisist lühidalt. Reede õhtul sõitsime Helsingisse ja minu menüü sellel õhtul nägi välja selline: Eelroog 1 Daimi kook shokolaadi jäätise, shokolaadikreemi ja tiramisuga, üle kallatud shokolaadikommidega 2 pizzalõiku Friikartulid ja lihapallid Meeletutest kogustes lõhet ja asju Natuke salatit Ning nagu arvata oligi, pearoani ega magustoiduni me ei jõudnudki. Peale seda lubasime Britiga mõlemad, et me ei lase enam kunagi üksteisel midagi süüa. See lubadus kehtis seni, kuni jõudsime oma armsasse korterisse, kus ootas meid ees isetäituv kommikauss. Päriselt, sa sõid pool kaussi tühjaks, ja müstilisel kombel oli kausis kaks korda rohkem komme! Aga esimeset päevast siis.
Hommikul läksime kirbuturule, mis muidu on asunud Hietalahti väljakul, aga talvehooajaks oli viidud jäähalli. Tänu sellele oli turg miljon korda suurem ja ma isegi ei ta kas see on hea või halb, sest lisaks sellele, et me arvatavasti pooli asju ära ei jõudnud vaadata, suutsime me ka kordades rohkem kulutada. (Soomest ostetud asjade kohta tuleb eraldi postitus, ma luban!) Peale suurt kirbuturgu, sõitsime siiki Hietalahtisse, sest olime sealt eelmine kord avastanud mingi maa-aluse turu, kus on alati väga palju põnevaid asju olnud. Seekordseks hitiks said vanade fotode kastid. Ma veetsin vist kuskil tund aega teiste inimeste vanu pilte vaadates. Loomulikult käisime läbi ka legendaarsed lipsu-kastid ja minu lemmikud imelike-asjade kastid. Edasi sõitsime Toomkiriku juurde, mille lähedal asus meie lemmik vintage pood Nasta. Seekord midagi ei ostnud endale ja lahkusime tühjade kätega.
