Just an FYI tomorrow is a holiday (Friday Jan. 6, 2012) so most shops are closed...
However, if one is desperate - the grocery shops downtown are apparently open (although I am not sure of the hours) because "The Russians Are Coming!"
No really! Right now, Russia is having their winter holiday and a good chunk of them enjoy travelling to Finland.
So if you hear a different language that doesn't sound Finnish, English or even Swedish (although that in itself is rare in Jyv�skyl� anyway) - that's why.
So I guess to gain the most profit or financial gain possible with the short tourism boom from the visiting neighbours - some stores may be open...but it would be in your best interest to get your groceries and other necessities today.
(It's also common for people to take down their Christmas decorations and trees tomorrow as well - since it is a holiday.)
