DOES THE FINN SKI IN FRIDGE ? NO....IN THE TUBE.

Some mocker has told that the whole Finland is fridge. This isn´t true any more for at least two reason. The whole world climate is going to change and the Finns have made " cold weather ski tube for sure" to have they own ski place in future.

All weathers - 3 celsius with ice and snow...

This is true, in Uusikaupunki of Finland has created 5 th skiing and multi sport facility hall in whole Finland.
In all weathers skiing and curling winter sports are available. "Strange Finns all they have
invented".
Also available in Vahterus Ring of Uusikaupunki:
# Curling
# roller skating
# jogging
# Nordic walking (what ? fast outdoor walking support with two ski staff)
#athletics
PS. Try packages: Curling, Orres Pub Fest and smoke sauna...You dont be disapoint

Funny museum! Bonk.
Turska profile photo
Turska 677 reviews

This is museum of a company..witch never exists! It´s like an art-museum, because non of the machines is real, they are just done for the museum, and they tell them to be very old, and tell a story of that industry witch has never been.

Some people don´t like this kind of humor, but we liked it! It was funny! I would visit it again one day, if we go to uusikaupunki again.

From the water tower you may see the whole area of Uusikaupunki town. There are old wind mills on the same hill, too.

Kebag with rise, EKA KEBAB UUSIKAUPUNKI OF FIN

Introduction to "Finnish int. culinary"
Really late in Finland we start to eat pizza and other foreing foods fors us. This happened 1960`s and as late than 1972 in Helsinki our Capital was the first ones pizzerias and Kebab grills. This happened for reason that Finns start to travel more. They brink of course holiday countries cuisine here. This means also that when we do something we are almost "fatal and absolute" people.
Now we have pizzerias almost in every villages and also kebab food. We have troubles to find some our own nations food in our elementary schools daily menu nowadays. The most origin Kebab foods I have eaten 1990 near "Kapali Carsi" area in Istanbul.

So ,we have in Uusikaupunki new excellent Kebab and pizzeria .

Favorite Dish: Here my favorite plate is:
Kebab with hot spice sauce and rise.

Fresh salad, unique yogurt sauce done with professionals.
Service in this restaurant is like " Light wind from Istanbul and Bosbors" means good.
Restaurant owner has both nationally: Finnish and Turkeys"
