  1. Очень приятный, уютный городок. По такому хорошо побродить. Земляника сладкая мммм, даже лучше клубники!

    1. И не покидая города! Мы её нашли, пока шли к шоколадной фабрике. По мне, земляника намного вкуснее конфет, особенно когда только что собранная :)

  4. What exactly is hedgehog in Russian?
    I'm asking because the Google translation in English is hilarious.

    1. It's ёж, I wrote it in its pet form ёжик, which also means a short, spiky hairdo (not only the military one), it might even look like this :D Poor Google Translate, always so confused! :D

    2. "Pet form":
      "In tissue - at the point."
      "In Russian these suffixes are called reduce and vibrationally caresses and with respect to a ffiksy"

      Bwahahaha!

    1. Hello! I'd travel to Porvoo more often if there were trains daily. Buses make me sick, the boat ride takes too long, and the train from Kerava is only once a week, which is inconvenient... Otherwise I would go to Porvoo again much sooner :)
