Pics of your city

[Pekka]

Now, we've had these kind of threads before but I never participated so I felt like putting on a new one. So, pics of your city. First up is my city, Turku, the oldest Finnish city, this year it had her 775th b-day. Also the first Finnish capital, though it was changed to Helsinki later on. Turku is also known as the rectum of Finland, but that's just a joke. Maybe sometimes it's true though. But the city is great, and it's a real 'summer city'. One of the best places to be in summer. It's also a coastal city, and has its own port. Used to be one of the most busy business places in here because of the port, and still is. Has long traditions of education and all kinds of important things historically speaking. University of Turku was built about a hundred years ago, by volunteer work and volunteer collected money. Now it is one of the three big ones, with Helsinki and Tampere Uni's. It is also one of the big 3 in cities in Finland, others being Helsinki and Tampere. There's always a feud going on between these 3. Turku is located in the west coast of Finland. This is a fact, the sperm count in Turku is one of the very highest in the whole world. And the women are also extremely hot in Turku, this is a known fact across Finland, the hottest ones are in Turku, and there's lots of them. I have grown to like this city very much and lived there little over a year now.

To pics!

Geez Pekka, your City sucks.

[Pekka]

Lonestar, not enough high buildings, glass and mickey dees for your taste? I feel sorry for you .

[Pekka]

But then again I understand the negative vibes. I would hate it too if my only pics woudl be of malls and traffic lights. To get something else you actually need to have history
