 Eating black sausage at the
waterfront in Tampere by AbbyL
You can buy it at the market, or at stalls at the city's waterfront.
It's served wrapped in paper, with a big blob of lingonberry jam.
A perfect lunchtime snack - and really cheap too. If you want to blend in with the locals, make sure you add a carton of milk to your order. Leave a Comment

 Some "mustamakkara" on our
dining table :) by Janni67Leave a Comment

In Tampere and in Finland generally, people are quite shy, introverted and not so polite for 'strangers'. You will soon realise that they don't apologize if they just pushed you in the queu in the super market etc. Usually we don't meant to be rude, it's just how we Finns are. When you get to know us better you realise that we are actually very frendly and trustworthy people. :-) Leave a Comment

Tampere is the third largest town in Finland (ca 190 000 inhabitants), situated 180 km from Helsinki. It's surrounded by beautiful lakes.
You can still see the Tampella-Finlayson factory area of the 19th century, which also used to be pictured in the Finnish 20-mark bill.
The old industrial areas have been vitalized and are now full of life and activities. You will find many small restaurants, pubs, sport and fitness centres.

Tampere Hall
The LENIN Museum
Sara Hilden Museum
Typical Tampere dialect words (only in finnish)
Hatanpää Doll Museum My two architect friends Tiina and Simo had their marriage reception in this museum. A beautiful old wooden house with a supreme doll and ancient children's toys collection as well as epoque clothes.
Beside the lovely dinner all guests could also visit the museum for free!

together by Turska
If I must choose,I like Eppu Normaali best of these.But their older songs from 1980´s are much better tahn new ones,and I prefer other kind of music more-but these first three bands bring me back to my teenage-memories..
