did you know!!

finnish people are prone to being lactose intolerant? it is such a widespread allergy here, in fact, that they have low lactose milk, cheese, butter, ice cream, etc. i was v surprised to see tofu ice cream in the supermarkets. it is my kind of place except for the rudeness. there is no finnish word for "excuse me." what they use in its place is oops! or uh-huh! oh well, can't have everything. i will be returning with not only a beer gut, but a cheese gut as well. the weather has been nothing short of awesome. yay.
