I'm sad I haven't found very cool graffiti but this is the best I can give you:

BTW OUR TEAM WON TODAY! LIKE!

Juldegen

It's a beautiful day

There are a few bands in the world that are so great you cannot do anything else but love them. Goo Goo Dolls, Volbeat, Kings of Leon and Nickelback. I will never stop listening to them. I recommend: Kings of Leon - Fans.. !!

However, I was looking through the list of words people have search with on Google and then they have found Quelmüde. And HAHAHA someone found our blog with the words "am a loser i promised". I don't know if it's a good sign.Stina I miss you so much♥

Julia

Wtf när jag åt bröd kände jag att det var en sten i brödet och jag bet i stenen hujhujhuj vad äckligt hoppas det inte har hänt till er,äckligt

I don't know what to write about, Kira or someone, please help me! I'm out of ideas. And I have to read about 10,000 pages of biology until Monday so I don't even have time to write anything. PLEASE PLEASE I BEG YOU, don't just click "like" or "necessary" or som of those things, please comment instead and tell us about what you want us to write.. I'm out of ideas.

LOOOOOK HOW CUTE!!! In the centre of Turku you can find this little random building, at Puutori (an old market place). It has been an old toilet, now it's a restaurant. Interesting.


PS I had a poll on the right and the question this time was: What is the best with Ruissalo? and RUISROCK got most of the votes. Ruisrock is a big festival if you didn't know. I think Kira is going there this year, so there will be one or more posts from that! But that's in the summer, so you have to wait a while. PS2. I want food.

VARES

It was so good!!! I loved it! A film filmed in Turku. Could it get any better??? NO!!! I really, really, really recommend it to you all... the starring stars were awesome. Mikko Leppilampi, Jasper Pääkkönen, Antti Reini, etc. W-O-W.

My Heart Will Go On - Titanik

Many times I have seen Titanik but never been inside. Today we went there with school, to see what is going on in there.´They even let me take pictures (which was awkward because I'm not even a tourist but I always have to take pix of everything.)

It was Laura Lilja's exhibition Mustaa Valkoisella

PS only one more day to vote for the best with Ruissalo on the right -->

Mmm whatcha saaay....

...if we started this new thing on Quelmüde where we go to people we see in the streets and take pictures of them if we like their clothing or just to ask them questions about Turku? You know that this could mean that YOU will get your pic here! ;) We could interview them and they could give all of the readers of Quelmüde tips where to go if you visit Turku etc etc .. etc..
Overall we would write more about the people of Turku, so that you know what it will be like when you come here! It's good to be prepared.

Is this a good idea? If the answer is yes, please comment and tell us that
and give us some ideas, thank you!
Btw, today I discovered that I have a new follower, NICE!
Her name is Aurora and you can find her blog HERE! Thank you so much Aurora!

And just to cheer you all up if you are having a bad day; here's a little something for you:
3rd February Quelmüde is celebrating its ½ year birthday!

Will Quelmüde's almost-birthday-cake look like mine?

Btw, you can see the beautiful text " I love facebook" on the cake.. Well, it's true! I love fb! And guess what? I have promised myself not to be online this week, and uuuhhh it's killing me, I miss the little red number which tells you how many new notifications you have and I miss the sound of the chat (even though I hate the new sound) and I miss to see how many of my friends are online, I miss everything... Have to wait until Monday. #¤%&

IF YOU LIKE QUELMÜDE, CLICK "LIKE" (I'm just trying to get up my self-confidence)

You see a lot in the streets of Turku.

Now and then you will see these kind of posts on Quelmüde, that have the label "Art". It can be a weird commercial we see in the city, graffiti, ... anything, both legal and illegal art. I think it's sad that people think graffiti is ugly, because it can be pretty cool. I dislike when you see graffiti on nice old houses, but for example on something that was ugly from the beginning, it couldn't at least get much worse because of some colors. Whatever. Bye.

Café Art

kukkuu

I realised cappucchino isn't good without sugar.

I FINALLY GOT TO SEE MY BLOGPARTNER KIRA, after such a long time without even knowing where she was! It felt good. We went to Café Art, one of the nicest cafés (my opinion) in Turku by the river. It was a yellow building. I had to tell them about my blog because otherwise I couldn't have taken pictures. It was a little awkward to mention Quelmüde, I mean... this isn't a very serious blog....

Location: Läntinen Rantakatu 5
Stars: ★★★★
Cappucchino: 2,70 €
House coffee: 2 €
Sugar: FREEEE!!! (made me glad)

Café Art was very nice and I happen to know that MR MIKE MONROE goes there sometimes, he's the singer in the famous band Hanoi Rocks. The waiters and waitresses were nice and the atmosphere was yees, unfortunately we only had time to sit there for ten minutes and Kira couldn't even drink her coffee, but whatever, we'll go there another time! I recommend this place, it makes you feel rich. Because it's so expensive.

Tomorrow the post will be a little odd. Be prepared.
