First weekend in "Hiding-Cottage"

 We were the first weekend in the cottage we hired from archipelago of Vaasa. The whole place was perfect, no other words to descripe my feelings. It´s around 10 minutes by boat from the quay our little motorboat is located in mainland. No neighbours near the front-yard so we have perfect privacy. So from now on we will mainly live in the cottage (exept the worse "bad-state-of-the-roads" season in the autumn and again in the spring for we do not have any amphibian vechile to reach it on those days...)
The cottage will come for sale next year and I am quite positive we will buy it if no major changes in our life occurs. |

| | Have you thought about a name for the cottage yet?
How about Alcatraz or Eagle's Nest?

| | That certainly looks very nice and cozy. A good place to get away from it all, literally. I'm jealous! :)

Mika; Nah, it is just "Piilopirtti" (hidden cottage)
Larry; Now there is a reason to be, indeed :)

| | "Real life" if equated as "Mökki life" is surely a nice thing, but real life actually includes much more than that. We could speak about a seperation of stupid bönde people and intelligent high city internet people. And we could speak also about a maalaisjärki compromise of a balance of both.

| | "We could speak about a seperation of stupid bönde people and intelligent high city internet people." -> Can we? Suppose you have some link or other reference to give against your statement? (that was sarcasm, you know, because such a reference do not exist that would support your claim). In my personal experience (in real life...) I think it is vice versa, the more urbanized area the more "uusavuton" (umm... newly-incapable?) people. F.Ex. in Oulu, despite it is a well known high-technology city, they still live quite close to nature and the peoples are VERY intelligent. On the other hand there is f.ex. Hel(l)sinki where such a thing as intelligence do not exist at all.

| | Your hate against Helsinki distorts your reality and makes your claims ridiculous. I am stronger than you, I can LIVE in Helsinki, well on the most NW corner of it at least, and still feel happy. I know maalaiselämä also, as you know, but I think this is the best compromise at the moment. MAYBE later on, I will move more north and build an empire near Mouhijärvi.

| | "makes your claims ridiculous" -> Which part of my "claim" was ridiculous? I mean facts usually are not excactly what we call ridiculous. "I am stronger than you, I can LIVE in Helsinki" -> I lived there many years, I CAN live in there. It is just that I do not WANT to live in there. Cannot stand the stupidity and superficiality of that town. You must content yourself with the living in there for you CAN NOT live in real finland. Me, on the other hand, were not satisfied with so poor living and elected differently.

| | Well, truth might hurt sometimes. There are MANY research and articles about the human capability of knowledge and so on, and every time the so called "civilization" in helsinki are found to be most incapable. Actually, originally the term "uusavuton" had to be created because of helsinki. Read more, assume less...

| | If there are many people in a city or country, the amount of stupid and intelligent (and everything between) raises. Not necessarily in the same amount for each group, but for sure the amount of each group raises. If you just focus to see stupid people you will see them, a lot of them, but same applies if you just focus to look for intelligent people. On the bönde where you are living, the relative amount of intelligent people might be higher, since they need to think more to survive, and there is less frustration and decadency due to lower overpopulation aggression.

| | "If there are many people in a city or country, the amount of stupid and intelligent (and everything between) raises." -> I do not know what are you talking about. Of course, some village with population 100 with intelligent ones 90 against helsinki with population 500 000 with intelligent ones maybe 50 000 there are more intelligent ones in helsinki BUT what we must see is the AVERAGE. 90% vs. 10% is what we should look at, not 90 vs. 50 000.
"If you just focus to see stupid people you will see them, a lot of them, but same applies if you just focus to look for intelligent people." -> Of course! And that is natural. Usually you see the 90% instead of 10. And you do not even need to focus...

| | Lets assume your claim is true, that only 10% of the people in Helsinki are intelligent. Compare this to the fact that 25% of the Americans believe that the sun revolves around the earth: http://www.nsf.gov/news/speeches/bement/07/alb070624_doe_scholars_prog.jsp
So as a conclusion you would also claim that the people in Helsinki are more stupid than the Americans. Well, actually that might be true, since USA is way ahead in technology, they have 160 nuclear power plants, and people in Finland are even arguing if a 3rd power plant should be built and if the existing 2 should be removed.
Plus in Finland we have TV-license fees, which seems to be sign of absolute stupidity.

| | "So as a conclusion you would also claim that the people in Helsinki are more stupid than the Americans." -> In where I have said that? Do YOU say that ONLY THOSE americans are un-intelligent -> "25% of the Americans believe that the sun revolves around the earth" and all other all intelligent?
"and people in Finland are even arguing if a 3rd power plant should be built" -> This is evidence of something, readers can then decide what it is certified. Of course agaist the FACT that in Finland there is NO arguing for third NPP, it is allready decided to build LONG TIME AGO. What we are discussing now is the fourth and fifth. And about "if the existing 2 should be removed" -> there is no such conversation going on. Not REAL one. Of course there is some (minor) groups against NPP:s but hey! This is a free country. Freedom of speech and opinion!
Besides old-fashioned-NPP-technology is not intelligence. It is necessity due the lack of better solutions.
With TV-licences I could not agree more...

| | Hmm, I thought there were already four nuclear plants in Finland and at the moment they're building the fifth. Plans are to build sixth, somewhere, sometime.
,bout the northern Tallinn(also known as Helsinki), been there, seen that and it's biggest savonian town on the world. :D

| | "Hmm, I thought there were already four nuclear plants in Finland and at the moment they're building the fifth" -> It depends what we are talking about "plant". For reactors, what is what you mean, but only 2 umm... well... plants ;)

| | What I know those reactors are self independent power stasions. They're just located near each other. So the next one is as good as fifth one. (does that sentence make any sense?)
Btw, do You have any of those splended receipts of Yours for moose joint to share with us?
