A day at the fairs

Hello dears,

The plan was to go book fair, liquorice and salmiakki festival and Japan day. First was the book fair. Simply because it's my every year tradition to go book fair. There was lots of interesting interviews today so I spend my midday listening lost of interesting interviews. One of them was the interview of makers of Finnish TV programme Madventures. They spoke about their a new book "Mad music", which by the way is on my birthday/Christmas present list now. Wink wink ;) Anyhow, the book is about the music around the world. And it doesn't mean world music or etno music. It's about the music what people listen, well for example in Korea. How many of you has ever heard of K-pop? Personally I think from South Korea comes some of the greatest pop bands. The reason why I am interested to have the book is coz I do like to listen different types of music. Those who knows me well, knows that I am a huge fan Japanese pop/rock music. Lately I have listened a lot German pop/rock music too. It would be great to listen for example African pop. Or even better African metal music. I wonder do they have metal bands in Africa...

Tunna and Riku, makers of Madventures
 

And speaking of K-pop. Here's a song by one of my favorite K-pop bands: TVXQ. You're welcome :)

Next interview that I went to listen was about Shakespeare. In Kansallisteatteri is coming not one but two playes of Shakespeare soon. Macbeth and Richard III. Guess how excited I am at the moment? Very, very...VERYYYY excited. I do love playes of Shakespeare. Richard III is one of my favorite playes. I also love Halmet. So I definitely will go to see both playes. I hope they will bring Hamlet also on the stage.

Then was time to go to next event. And it was Japan day. It wasn't anything special. Same old stuffs as usually, meaning 3 years ago. But what I really liked it was the ikebana workshop.

My first ikebana arrangement.

It was absolutely fantastic finally to do ikebana arrangement. I got so excited that I have to buy all the stuffs for it so I can start to make ikebana arrangements at home too. It's form of art. Unfortenally it doesn't last long but some of the most beautiful things doesn't last long.

I didn't felt like going to the liquorice and salmiakki festival, so after my visit to Japan day I took bus back home. Now I just wanna relax. Read a book that I bought from book fair and drink Glühwein.

Till next time! Ciao!
