Unexpected encounters

By going back last week, I am going to memo some unexpected things happened in Finland.


First of all, I have to mention unexpected souvenire I got.
I got it from a Finnish acquaintance.
And the souvenire was...

an booklet in CHINESE.
Was he confued Japan and Chinese?
Even he had lived in Japan about a year before?
Maybe he was just in a rush.
Anyway I appriciate his kindness. Never mind small things.


What comes up my mind secondly is this.

He was in natural history museum.
Standing very entrance of Finnish nature exbition.
The area represented sea.
He is supposed to welcome guest whoever coming in.
Showing his honor by stanidng upright.
How polite the Finnish is!!
Whether the position is often seen in the Baltic sea or not is unclear.


The third one.
If you remember what I saw during the trip to Italy, you can imagine how I felt this time.
Posti museo was covered for some repair work and the advertaisement on the cover was...

H&M

Again!!
H&M's success might gained by putting these big posters on EVERY country's big construction work for their landmarks during off-season.
hummmm.
What I saw in Italy is described in Japanese in here
