Straighteurovision is getting carried away with the excitement that eurovision is a mere few weeks away now...It does seems Helsinki are going all out to turn the whole city into a euro-fest!!! Lovely jubbly! Can't wait....
Were even more excited to hear that in Esplanadi Park from May 8 - 12, all participating countries will have stalls in what will be deemed a european market; that means music, food and fun fun fun! Food ay? Is there still time to enter China, Japan, India & Mexico? F**k if only they were in Europe! Still were all looking forward to tasting Finnish delicasies, not to mention Georgian, Macedonia, Albanian & Moldovan...Oh and don't forget Russian; lets hear it for FREE VODKA!!!! Hurrah Hurrah!!!!!
The "Europpatori" is open from May 8th at 3pm onwards, and on May 9th, the Fins are holding 'Europe Day'. It seems there will be loads of music, with bands, soloists and most likely lots of 'Tango Tango'. The finnish can't get enough of tango...Someone get Petra Nielson an invite quick!!!!
Sounds like fun doesn't it. Last year in Athens, it was more sunbath and sightsee than anything else, so it will be good to have something to do during the day other than drink and pass out. This could be a fantastic year!
On Friday 11th May, there will be a street party in Senate Square, outside Euroclub (Euroclub is the place where the accredies go after dark). Euroclub is usually only available to those accredited, and often drinks are free. The only thing is, you need to collect as many tokens you can in order to get seriously drunk. That means anything goes....if you know what im sayin! :-)
Don't forget for all accredies train journeys are free all week if you show them your accreditation card. I told you that card is special!
For those who still want to do a bit of sightseeing dont forget to visit these three attractions:
1) The museum of contemporary art http://www.kiasma.fi/
2) Suomenlinna Castle http://www.suomenlinna.fi/index.php?lang=eng
3) Open air museum http://www.nba.fi/en/seurasaari_openairmuseum
For all others see you in a nearby bar!
