Saturday

Thursday high, Friday drunk. What's gonna be tonight? Luckily, Alko, the only source of alcohol in Finland thanks to the state monopoly, is closed today due to some very special day for Finns during which they should visit the graves of the dead. What is that to do with shops? I have no idea myself. But we're in Finland where everything being closed doesn't surprise me anymore.

We don't visit cemeteries on this day unless you're a goth or a satanist and want to have a party there.

What surprise me even more.. is the name of the state-monopoly.. ALKO :) It sounds like a friendly buddy name. At least in Sweden, the name is nothing more than it is - Systembolaget
