WE ALL DIE YOUNG

每次只要到星期五就會覺得赫爾辛基是個完全不一樣的城市

平時安靜的城市突然活絡了起來，街上的人都洋溢著歡愉的氣氛，瀰漫著一種不安份的氣味

在星期五的時候坐地鐵會感覺得到芬蘭人講話突然大聲了起來，車廂裡的酒瓶滾來滾去的，星期五晚上就是喝酒、party、喝酒、party。有一次在朋友家party要下樓，結果遇到他的鄰居，他鄰居看到我劈頭就問：大家都在party，為什麼你要往外走？

芬蘭人本來就愛喝酒，有時候在路上或公車還會遇到喝醉酒罵髒話的老阿嬤，有一次等公車時有兩個阿伯興奮的拿著伏特加往我手裡塞要我嘗嘗。禮拜五的晚上更是變本加厲。有次在便利商店遇到兩個傢伙醉到站不穩，搖搖晃晃的走兩步退三步，醉到店員說什麼都不賣酒給他們。還有一次遇到兩個醉到在地鐵車廂裡面抽菸的中年人，臉上還有看起來很新的傷口，該不會是剛跟別人對幹吧？

最近的一次是在地鐵站內看到警衛把一個人撲倒，那個醉漢一直大聲攘攘，動員了好幾個警衛把他制伏，當警衛從我旁邊匆忙的往下跑時我還真有點嚇到...

不過上禮拜看見這幾位雞姊還真開心，尤其是那隻全套黃色公雞裝的真的是太酷了!!!

下次有機會來芬蘭時如果遇到臉紅紅癡呆望著你的芬蘭人，可別嚇到囉...

Every time when Friday comes, Helsinki becomes totally different.

This quiet city is becoming so hectic on that day, people are out on streets, flocking somewhere, there is a smell of joyfulness pervading the atmosphere.

There is one thing pretty obviously that Finns are quiet most of the time, but they are speaking really out loud in the metro, bottles are rolling all around the metro because Friday is just the day for them to drink and party and drink and party... One day I was in my friend's place for a house party, I was going out and my friend's neighbor saw me and said: where are you going? everyone's party so WHY ARE YOU GOING OUT?

Finns are known for drinking liquor. I saw an elderly lady got drunk and spoke obscene words at bus stop, there's another time two elders were urging me to drink their vodka. Friday night is just way more hard drinking. Once I was in the R-Kioski, two drunk people they were SO DRUNK that they couldn't even stand! The staff said no to them at least 5 times because they have the right to reject drunk people to buy liquor. There's another time I saw two guys were drunk and smoked in the metro which is strictly forbidden in Finland. I was wondering if they just fought with someone or what because their faces are wounded.

Recently I saw one guy got drunk and yelled or tried to attack others, security guards came to suppress him. I was kind of scared when those guards ran downstairs passed by me!

This picture was taken last week, the costume is so bizzare and wicked! Especially the yellow one! I think they were heading to a party and that's really cool!

So next time when you come to Finland, don't  freak out if a guy stares at you with a red face and dull eyes...
