TURKU!
the oldest city in finland! 775 years now in 2004! w00t! used to be the capital too, but then some mofo burned the whole city down by accident and the fire spread well as almost everything was built of wood (ages ago!). so after that finland needed a new capital and helsinki nabbed it! :whip: :whip:
also darude lives here and his producing partner js16 is from here, but lives in helsinki now!:D
and we supposedly are the (ug) electronic music city of finland, which is not true anymore at least though. and this is the best ing place in finland and therefore the best place in the world! and the swedish people know this place as ÅBO for some reason.

That is the real thing though, no photoshopping or anything, been past it many a time, and it never fails to amaze me how pissed the townsfolk must have been, probably after a trip to the burton breweries :p |
