Experts in their own lives.
“It´s good life – in one´s own peace and own terms. There you can
barbecue on the terrace and fix the yard.”
“Wouldn’t want to live with ´alcoholics´ who are always partying.”
“Where are the Finnish people?”
“Made food for 11 people a week ago,
rearranged the room and borrowed tables, chairs and plates from
neighbors.”
“You should not use those stairs after seven in the evening, just go around the corner.”
“All the neighbours said that this kindergarten is
the best.”
“I looked at the recycling room and it
was really messy.”
I noticed that acoustics seems to be key to
having a sense of home.
“In Rovaniemi everyone has their own fridge.
