Life in Helsinki with Süsk & Banoo

If you're in Helsinki, here are three steps to gastrointestinal bliss: 1. Get on your bike and head over to Senate Square. Find the little cobbled side road of Sofiankatu and the food van of Street Gastro. 2. Order a Chicken and Coriander, Pork and Spicy Mustard Coleslaw, Veggie, or... Continue reading

Oh, thanks Audrey! I need to find a copy of the magazine- I've not seen the full thing yet in printed glory!

Commented yesterday on Arabiaranta at süsk & banoo

It's totally Sacre-Coueruueerish! (Subnote: I will never, ever remember how to spell coeur properly. Even then, as I typed it I had to look at your comment. And STILL missed the œ. Mff!)

Commented 5 days ago on The M3 Results at süsk & banoo

Well done, me. After Yash's office-neighbour and his wife invited us along on an impromptu walk through the marshlands at Arabiaranta, I realised the b/w camera was probably the wrong choice to grab on the way out. Instead of enjoying the bright greens and the deep blue Baltic, feast your... Continue reading

There are ladies' versions too...etsy!

I don't want to sound braggy- but that bike IS the sexxx. Just watching it power up hills (from behind, as I pant and mad-woman pedal) is a thing of beauty. For each twenty of my pedal revolutions, he does like 3. It's gorgeous. Slash infuriating. :)

Thanks!

Thanks Alex. You guys know all about the joys of grants, tenure, "publish or perish"- and the every-few-years-upheaving. It's tough, but what doesn't kill us... right?

Commented May 11, 2013 on Mr & Mrs at süsk & banoo

Seriously- tenure would help us settle For Real...but for now, we're loving the adventures we have. I'd love a cat, but you're right- they don't understand when they get shoved in the crate and put on planes and in cars, so it's not really fair for them.

Thanks Cat- and thanks for the motivational boost!

We need to get over and check it out one of these days- maybe if it ever warms up!

Commented May 11, 2013 on Mr & Mrs at süsk & banoo

Awesome!

Grandad's M3 works! Beautifully! (Excuse the winter-y shots, but the film took eons to develop.) Though I'm no professional (clearly I need to figure out the stopping up/down to get perfect, white snow still) the photos in both colour and b/w came out spectacularly. The lenses (these test rolls were... Continue reading

Life seems to be settling in here in Finland. We're both registered as resident foreigners, we've both got our ID numbers, and we're registered in the health care system. I'm still not able to open a bank account (unless I get a Proper Job or become a student) so that's... Continue reading

A Little More Leopold

At the risk of over-saturating the internetz with bike porn, feast your lookin' holes on some more of Leopold's foyne self. I know, I know, he's just a bike (and not even mine!) but there's something about a good looking bike that makes you want to take a million photos... Continue reading

The light here! I can't get enough of it lately. I've spent my week sitting in cafés, taking photos of interesting old men reading the papers, and of how the sunlight falls on the furniture. Banoo is in Paris again, sorting out his taxes. That's probably the one thing I... Continue reading

Hello Tove (I love your name, by the way)- thanks for reading!

I'm coming over!

Commented May 1, 2013 on Tikka Feast at süsk & banoo

Yum. Just...yum. If you have about 20 minutes and need a satisfying, bursting-with-flavour meal, then this is it. Tikka Salmon with Cucumber Tsatziki. INHALE. I found this in a Jamie Oliver cookbook and wonder why I never tried it before- it was so simple and so delicious. The man, love... Continue reading

On a walk around the island of Jätkäsaari the other day, we came across a classic car museum. There were pinball machines, a huge 1948 De Soto car in sexy peach and black, and chrome everywhere. In other words, I was in heaven. Entry included a free coffee in the... Continue reading

Oh, gosh- trust you to pick up on his jumper! I think it was a cheapie from H&M, which is AWESOME. I'm like a magpie to that colour though- I couldn't not buy it for him. If the bike came in mustard...phwooooaaar.

Dooo it...it's like BUTTAH!

Commented Apr 26, 2013 on Meet Leopold at süsk & banoo

I find myself gazing at it, and it's not even MY BIKE!

Commented Apr 26, 2013 on Meet Leopold at süsk & banoo

Thanks, Sez- we're getting helmets next week for sure!

Commented Apr 26, 2013 on Meet Leopold at süsk & banoo

Thankfully that one was spotted on foot- I would have done the same otherwise!
