Tampere

Tampere is one of the next biggest cities behind Helsinki and Espoo in Finland. Boasting a whopping population of about 210,000 people it is no wonder they are home to the black sausage. We are not talking about the Immigrant male population but a sausage that can only be described as not visually appetising. Put aside your fears and bite into one before washing it down with some milk as the locals do… You will find all your fears are gone once the taste hits you mouth in an experience that could only be met by haggis or black pudding.

Must see in Tampere is the industrial part of the city central the old Finlayson works which has beautiful grassed areas to sit, relax, have a game of Mölkky or in true Finnish style have a beer or three.

You can grab wet pussy in one hand...well so the dude on the bridge says.

Sitting in the main street having a few beers in a seedy pub can open your eye
s to the range of people Finland has to offer… well if your lucky you too will get a good day as there are many festivals during summer, even where people were getting dressed up as their favourite cartoon/ super heroes. If you’re a car nut you may blow a load at the amount of neat classic chevs & fords, you rice boys will also enjoy the sights.

If you are lucky you can even sit in on Christian rock beside the church...I guess its not the Finnish metal the crowd are looking for.


Dress up like this bloke...then charge people one euro to throw things at you.

Which witch?

Nurse...anyone?

Milja drinking...again.

A visit back to Tampere will see some of the more tourist sites like the amusement park & revolving restaurant.
