the first warm day of the year was here today, it reached almost +20c! so we got my bike fixed and went into town to get the finished bits and pieces for the trip home in a weeks time.

at one point we went into sanomatalo to look at some stuff and we took a quick break in the coffee shop there. there was about 40 or 50 customers in there, of which there was 15 babies! plus another five or so pregnant women. like teenage skaters who have their own hangout nearby and the goths who hang out around the corner, it seems that the mothers with newborns and expectant mothers also have their own place. there was at least 1 baby at every table, in fact one table had five! (all sitting on the laps of their mothers). it was like a scene from the twilight zone or something.
