Waputtaa

The time has come for Finlands annual totally insane Labour Day celebration. Check-list:

-student cap + possible student overalls
-balloons
-enought alcohol to last from Monday morning until Tuesday night
-lots of salty food + other important picknick items (simaa, munkkeja, silliä..)
-group of loud, restless friends
-warm and watertight clothes for the Tuesday-picknick
-Äpy

Take these and lots of "hyvä fiilis" and you're ready to hit the town with hundreds of thousands of other Finns. Don't be confused by the fact that even the most airtight Finnish people find the ability to speak two words of Swedish on this special day. Klara vappen (bara vatten hela natten!), or sober Labour Day, can be heard from all corners of Finland, creating a perfect definition for the word "irony". Irony or no irony, this Labour Day will undoubtedly be as crazy and hilarious as the previous ones. Finland is the place to be tomorrow. Hyvää vappua kaikille, klara vappen till alla!
