Turku?????

Hehe! If you come from somewhere far away and (some how) found this blog and realised it is a blog about Turku, you might wonder where a place like that is?

Let me tell you. It's in Finland, in southern Finland. It is the oldest city in Finland (and my favourite city:) and has about 170 000 inhabitants (the fifth largest city in the country). In Turku we speak both Swedish and Finnish. What else? Here's a map (or 4 maps actually) :

Turku:Amazing that you can find maps like these on Google... someone who is very good with Paint has drawn these, thank you so much, whoever you are!

Btw is there something you would like us to do a thing about? A special place in Turku, perhaps??? Just let us know, and we will fullfill your dreams. 'Cause that's how we roll. Näkyy (koneel).

Ten reasons...

....why you should live here.. in Turku.

1. Hesburger, a hamburger bar, is from here
2. It's not far away from Stockholm
3. It's probably the nicest city in Finland during the summer
4. The people are so funny, you laugh until you die every day (which is a little sad of course)
5. You find GREAT shops for clothing etc downtown
6. It's near the sea, and on the islands Hirvensalo, Kakskerta and Ruissalo you find beautiful beaches
7. The arcipelago outside Turku is considered the most beautiful one in the world after the one in Greece
8. There are great cafés and probably also great nightclubs (I don't know, I'm not 18) in this place
9. The VARES-movies are filmed here (and 6 January the newest of them will b in the cinemas)
10. TPS, the best ice hockey team, is from here!
