Paviljonski & FLASH!

Today I went to the Paviljonski with some friends to check out the once-a-year farmer's market/handicraft market that's held outdoors.
Yes Pailjonski is like Pavillion (or at least I am assuming so)....last year I had gone inside for the handicraft fair and it was sooooooo crowded and I was quite cranky pushing the pram around. ANYWAY - this was held outdoors which made things MUCH easier.

There were many stands with knitted hats and gloves and some jewellery stands...but the one food item I saw a lot of was fried fish.  Finns do love seafood - as it's usually found in their own waters...very resourceful.
My friend Jessica suggested eating some fresh, fire smoked salmon with potatoes and onions....it was great! Unfortunately there won't be any photos as the husband is in London and has my camera.

So the second part of the subject heading is "FLASH!"  Well, after cruising around the market and picking up a slice of smoked ham (delicious beyond words) and some danishes (more like poulla - very thick/heavy baked goods)...I went downtown with a friend named Matti.
We walked around and chatted about Canada vs. Finland and as we were walking to Ekolo (organic/health food shop...and also has bulk snack foods beside it) - I saw an older man ...let's say 40's or more...quite tall....stand in front of a young girl and an elderly man resting on a bench and yell something quite loud in Finnish.
I instantly thought "Oh he's deaf...or drunk...or angry about something..."
I asked Matti what was being yelled as there was some discussion going on....turns out the man standing was flashing the people sitting on the bench.  And I don't mean the upper part of his chest either.
I instantly had a flashback to my high school graduation in which a fellow by the name of Daniel, dropped his certificate while accepting it from our principal and then mooning the Graduating class of 2004.
I did not see anything because I was sneaking out - as I was hungry.  Shame - I know.
