Helsinki-urban pictures

These postcards show real pictures of different places in Helsinki that I know very well. The postcards are found in turistic places...It is clear that Finns take the alcohol issue with humour and I like humour as well. I have shown beautiful landscapes from this wonderful country. It is fair that I also show this not-so-nice side of Finland. Thanks Sandra for the pics that I borrowed from your blog. I apologise if any of you recognise yourself in the pics. Please do not feel insulted by my comments!!!! I rely on your sense of humour !!!!

You might think that the guy from the picture above was sunbathing. I have not seen such a blueish sky in Helsinki for ages. The picture was modified with photoshop and the guy is terribly drunk.

Finns enjoy nature. Feeling mother earth is within their basic instincs. That guy is doing so...or maybe he's trying to check from the ground if indians are coming or not. I definitely think he's having a nap. I thought that the siesta (that short nap in the afternoon) was a Spanish invention but Finns found out the benefits of that some centuries ago. There you have an example.

Who said that Finns do not care about the fellow man??? There you see a girl checking if her boyfriend is still alive.

"Daddy, daddy, what happened to that gentleman???" "Nothing sweety, probably he's lactose intolerant and drank coffe with a touch of milk" That's a real problem in Finland, really.

Ain´t that beautiful? The photographer is a genious. Roses in oposition to Humalainen. The beauty and the ugly from a country of contrasts. By the way, I used to go the doctor to that round building...To the family on the left we could say: "Trip to Helsinki from somewhere else in the world: 500-1000 euros, Hotel Sokos in the city center for 5 days: 700 euros; Makkara-peruna in the market-place: 5 euros; Finnish coffe: 3 euros and several visits to the WC; Decide with your family where to go and what to visit while noticing the scent of poop and pee from the Humalainen beside you: PRICELESS.

This is a bunch of friends waiting for the bus in Rautatientori (the heart of Helsinki).

This is my favourite. The weirdo: fat and disgusting guy, old-fashioned nylon underpants, lots of alcohol, lots of dirt and attempted sexual abuse. The real sick in this story is the one who tried to abuse this poor guy taking advantage from his pathetic situation.
