Wall of Chocolate

Rose and I decided today that research was stupid and eating was more fun (Duh!). After all, my desk does face a window and out that window lies our supermarket, so I pretty much think about food all the time (not that I don't usually...). So to the kitchen we met for a snack; this really just involves us switching on the radio, standing on the balcony and finding what is edible in our cupboards. The idea of work was too much for us and I decided that we needed a walk to get us going. But wait, why just walk, when you could walk to S-MARKET and buy chocolate you can't read and then see which ones are nice! This was a plan!

The chocolate isle proved fruitful (I've got my eye on a bag of spicy potato snacks covered in chocolate, but that's for a special day), only one item I bought, did not have some sort of English description. Between us we had 7 candy bars.

Back to the flat where we crack open Pepe, liquorice with some kind of crunchy pear flavoured centre – rather nice. Next Susu was up, crispy chocolate covered fudge (?) – pretty damn good. This pattern continued till our stocks were halved and we were sick of eating chocolate.

We pretended to do something constructive, then resumed for round two. This time, Rose had a brainwave – we should make some sort star-in-a-reasonably-priced-car-esque league table! Now don't laugh, this is important research, we're trying to portray our Finnish experience and the way of life over here as best we can and it's all for your benefit! So we shall continue to add to the wall and I shall inform you of any major happenings along it's way. A sort of growth chart of our taste buds if you like.

Also, our new flat mate arrived late last night, yet to know anything about her as she has been M.I.A. all day, can't wait to know what she thinks of our Wall of Chocolate!

Just in case you thought I'd only come over here to suss out their transport and chocolate, I'm glad to inform you that we have our welcome day tomorrow, so we will be listening to lots of long necessary talks about library cards and computers but hopefully meeting some people too!
