This is an english translation for a humoristic blog post by Heikki Aittokoski, a foreign journalist, which was published in Helsingin Sanomat, a newspaper. I found it so hilarious that I wanted to share it with those who don't speak finnish.
This is a word-for-word translation to maintain the humor, ergo the grammatical errors were intentional by the original writer.

The text in it is finglish, a mix of finnish and english. Aka english written on the basis of how a Finn hears it.
