Ukkeli's article free zone

As part of my strugle against tyranny of as, ans and thes this page is declared as article free zone, read more about article free English.

I´m just your average Finnish person. Tall, blonde, blue eyes and so on. All stereotypes apply. Please feel free to use them, I promise I won't be offended in any way. Currently my earthly location is Kuopio, which is also center of Universe, well atleast according to locals it is.

What do I like?

-Snow and winter, summer is most overrated season in Universe
-Skiing, both Cross-country skiing and it's alpine sister
-Travelling, both abroad and in Finland.
-Reasonable amounts of beer together with kyykkä
-Kalakukko
-Sauna and Sauna whisks

What I don't like?

-Architects, they have ruined several nice places around world
-Fanatics of any kind
-Mämmi

Planning entries about

-Finnish habits, places and other things that might interest all you who were unfortunate enough to be born as foreigners. winkeye

Usefull links about Finland

-After free registration you can check maps all over Finland from National Land Survey
-Finland's railways are good way to get from here to there or further
-Finnair flyes to and from most European capitals and within Finland
-Forest service has exellent information about Finland's national parks
-Virtual Finland has virtually all the information about Finland

What is ukkeli?

Ukkeli, mostly harmless (oldish) fellow, peculiar in some way or other. Ukkeli is word of spoken Finnish and derived from ukko, which means old man.
