Game Me - Pelaa Minua!

Most of us have seen the bad examples of so called Google translations. One would think that if you make a visible item with many languages on it to Heathrow airport terminal that you would bother to check with native speaker that all are proper language.

Great initiative, a piano on a hallway by the gates with a "Play me" recommendation on it. But why baby why didn't you check the other languages...? The Finnish one is a fantastically horrible example of the Google style translator; It says - converting it back to English - "Game me". And yes, I "gamed" it...

Ice Cream & Shopping @ Espoo!

I just had a great milkshake at Vohveli ice cream bar at Espoo. They have also wafers, or waffles or what ever you call them. On top of the delicious ice cream you can do some shopping. I found a broom for the patio deck and part of a 2 year birthday present for one special little Lady.

Go and check it out, it is worth the drive even from down town Helsinki.
