Hauskaa Wappua

[kaote]

Tonight in Finland is a holiday called Vappu. It's kinda like a Finnish Mardi Gras (or, really, any night on a Sweden/Estonia ferry) where everyone drinks and drinks and drinks and drinks and puts a hat on a statue and drinks and drinks. Unsurprisingly, it's mainly celebrated by students and often involves sima, a homebrewed mead-like beverage.

I really miss vappu and vapunaatto! It is a absolutely outstanding day when everyone's partying!

I hope they give the doctoral students their graduation swords after Vappu...

Lisääääääääääääääääääää simaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Riot Riot!

I have two bottles of Drunken Monk mead that I'd forgotten I had. Now seems like an excellent time to drink them.

I actually celebrated Walpurgis for the first time in years last night - really good feeling.
