I'm afraid that from Finland there is no progressive things coming out anymore: we have the most reactionary government you can imagine (with the far-right party). But let's hope a better one after the next election in 2027...

@kaia
Trivia: North Macedonia is one of the three European countries, where there is no electoral threshold (Sperrklausel auf Deutsch) on parlament elections. The two others are Portugal and Finland. Interesting, in my opinion.

Danes say "Jeg kan godt lide dig",
I can tolerate you well, when they mean I like you.

@kaia

Can one fly from Frankfurt am Main to Frankfurt an der Oder?

Thus I don't know, why anyone would like to travel to F/Oder - I've once been there. A totally dead town.

About Kentucky I've no idea.

@lain @kaia

Yes! Mine too. 🍷

Wunderbar! DDR hat immer interessiert mich sehr. War was besonderes. Zum Glück existiert nicht mehr.

Aber was AfD und BSW dort in östlichen Bundesländern noch zustande bringen können, ist interessant zu sehen. Und schrecklich.

GDR and Soviet Union represented not real communism, it all was a great misunderstanding.

@kaia

Äsch, Katzenelnbogen.

"Katzenelbogen" :blobmiou:

I've never seen those in public parks.

But in the park of Ainola, the house, where the composer Jean Sibelius lived with his wife Aino.

There are two benches, about 30 meters from each others. There the old couple used to sit in summer evenings. No words needed.

@kaia
Far away from Markus Söder, too. That's good.

@kaia
Maybe next time soon, at the Oktoberfest?

Finno-Ugric language, in Siberia, no way...
I'm speaking Finno-Ugric language, Finnish, In Finland.

Minä puhun suomalais-ugrilaista kieltä, suomea, Suomessa. :blobpats:

@kaia
I'm just like him, the only difference is that I can't say that in pure American nor any other pure English, and nobody understands Finnish, so I prefere to say it auf Deutsch.

@kaia

Doch. Aber... Verbrennungsmotor.

@kaia

The Norwegians really are okay, I know many of them, one of my best friends is Norwegian.

Especially fun as a Finn is to talk with Norwegians about Swedes, we have exactly same opinions about them. :blobpats:
