GUTENTAG


Hey Kiddo,

As you probably already heard, LacTose and I decided to take the scenic route through Finland. We made this choice for several reasons:
1. When are we going to be here again with a car?
2. Lauren speaks Finnish.
3. We weren't quite done looking at Northern bullshit.
4. We both recently adopted those crazy philosophies where there is no world outside the mind (Russia has this effect), so why not?

And you know, we were not disappointed. Finland is damn fine, check this out.
But it was business time. We had to construct another raft, and this time we were taking the Greenland route.



Our raft had to be more durable this time. We had to use Maple wood and human bone. Luckily, these are Finland's main exports. Finland right? Not Sweden or Denmark? Got these countries are so damn arbitrary. I SPIT ON YOU, YOU BLAND COUNTRIES. YOU MAY BE BEAUTIFUL BUT YOU GOT NO SOUL.

Sorry, that was Russia talking. Finland actually has a lot of soul. Literally everywhere we went we heard folk music. It got to the point where I was dying for some Jay-Z, or maybe a little Nirvana. Still, some of the music is quite beautiful, especially the Sami Music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL3F-YqZeLQ

watch it all the way through. it's very relaxing ><.

It's a strange thing, killing a man. It's a stranger thing, rafting from Finland to Greenland to Boston, MA. In fact, that shit's impossible. It took us four hours of dodging sharks (and what can only be described as a Moby Dick-like beast) and shivering in the freezing cold Atlantic. Luckily we bumped into some friendly Seamen.




These kind souls were on there way to deliver goods and produce to Europe. But they generously brought us back to Boston. "Whatever" said one of the men, when we asked him this enormous favor.

So, after a year long hiatus , LT and VD are back in business.







...but we things were not quite as we left them....
