A Finnish Egyptian

Would you like to read a real Finnish classic? One of the most successful books written by a Finnish author is definitely “Sinuhe the Egyptian”. This historical novels tells about a physician who travels the around the Mediterranean Sea giving the reader a pretty good impression of ancient Egypt and its role in the world.

With this novel Mika Waltari became world famous. In the 1950s Hollywood even adapted the story for a movie. Every Finnish child reads the book in school.

It is one of the most important pieces of literature in Finland. And it’s a really interesting book.

Enjoy reading it!

Have a sparkling weekend

The week is over. Finally! Time to reward yourself for all the hard work. And what better way is there to start the weekend than to go for after-work drinks? And what about starting off with some nice sparkling wine in a classy new bar? 

In that case Shampers at Forum might be the place for you. This new bar has some good after-work offers. Have a glass of dry Cava for just 4 €. And if you are not that much into sparkles maybe a normal wine (white or red) for just 3 € might do. Shampers’ after-work hours are Mondays through Fridays from 16:00 till 21:00.

Have a nice weekend!
