Congrats, u've reached the highest level of being Turku-ished. You are naked all the time, you drink a lot of alcohol (not good, not good), you have a very very very excellent Swedish and you rock.. Simple as that.

mostly answer B:
You're kinda random, but you seem like a nice person. Haha, however, you ain't TURKU-ISHED.

mostly answer C:
Well, at least you love food. So do we. But we also love other things, like walking around on the beach etc etc.. Have a nice life, but you're not very Turku-ished. Too bad..
