[AFF] The Japanese Wears Helsinki

This time I made an Asian Finnish Find on a Japanese drama.
It's on 花ざかりの君たちへ Hanazakari no Kimitachi e alias Hana Kimi.


Horikita Maki as Ashiya is wearing a t-shirt that says "Helsinki". It's Finland's capital city!

I heard somebody saw quite a few Helsinki shirts on Japanese actors. Should we thank our loyal Japanese tourists? Most definitely! ありがとうございます。Arigatou gozaimasu!

[AFF] There that Daoming Si goes again!

Hello friends! We made an Asian Finnish Find on a Taiwanese drama.
It's in the classic 流星花園 Meteor Garden.
Personally, my eyes popped out when I saw the Finnish words on the truck shown. After the shock I felt quite amused as I really linked the words with the content.


"Ja taas mennään" can be translated "and here we go again", and in the scene, Daoming Si happens to beat the sh*t out of some guys who tried to rob him. You know his temperament.
Actually I should've realized the Asian Finnish Find earlier when I read the word on the other side of the truck. "Koff" is a Finnish beer company.

Taking off

Hi! I know we have been passive with this blog. More like I've been passive. I need readers and comments to keep posting. TK says I'm too dependant on you, but I say I'm not publishing things on the Internet for myself. It's for sharing with everyone. Anyway, I know you need interesting posts to keep reading and commenting, and I hope we can offer you that! Please have a good time with us.^^

The thing is, we'll have more interesting stories to post now that I'll be travelling to Asia to stay with TK. We'll be travelling in Singapore, Malaysia and Chengdu in China. So exciting! I've been to Singapore once before to meet him. Malaysia and China will be completely new experiences for me.


I went to the bank yesterday to get my Singapore dollars. Of course this is just a part of it. My parents taught me not to show off my money, haha. Having packed and having the correct currency in my wallet I really feel the reality of taking off soon. My flight is already the day after tomorrow!


My flight day is Friday 13th, the day that in my culture is known as the day of bad luck. But, I'm not worried. TK said to me "It's not a bad luck day in Singapore, so fly safe here."

韩庚 Han Geng - 小丑面具 Clown Mask is a work of art by Finnish music producer Hermanni Kovalainen among other music makers.



It's definitely a remarkable song!
