Tulipahan muutettua. Ei mennyt kyllä yhtään niinkuin Strömsössä. Optimistina olin arvioinut, että pakkaaminen hoituu helposti yhdessä illassa... Kolmen tunnin yöunien jälkeen lyötiin viimeiset kamat takapaksiin ja nokka kohti Rhode Islandia. Ei näin.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Kämpän piti olla maalattu valmiiksi ennenkuin saavumme revohkamme kanssa paikanpäälle.&amp;nbsp;Perillä totesin ensitöikseni, että (maksamamme) maalaushommat oli hädintuskin aloitettu ja siivous peräti kokonaan tekemättä. Muuttopäivämäärän olin kuitenkin varmistanut vuokraisännän kanssa kolme kertaa... Onneksi paku oli varattu koko viikonlopuksi ja maalaritkin ilmaantuivat paikalle parin tunnin päästä viimeistelemään hommat. Tosin muistoksi jättivät maaliroiskeita ympäri ämpäri huoneistoa. Siivousurakka saattoi alkaa noin kello 20.00, minkä jälkeen kahden hengen muuttotiimi heitti isoimmat kamat sisuksiin yön pimeinä tunteina. Maanantain tärkeä työhaastattelu meni arvatenkin kylmiltään heitettynä vähän nihkeästi. Auts! Ehkä se paikka ei ollut minua varten.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Seuraavat viikot pendelöin Rhodiksen ja Hampshesterin väliä. En tosin ihan päivittäin, vaan viikonloput Providenssissa ja viikot hommissa sisämaassa. Sen jälkeen onkin aika miettiä mikä blogi tästä tulee, kun Hampsteri jää taakse. Vai tuleeko mikään. Kolmen vuoden sillontällöisen postailun jälkeen olen huomannut, etten ehkä ole maailman innokkain bloggaaja. Ameriikan ihmemaan kummastelukin on jäänyt viime aikoina aika vähälle.

Medeski, Martin &amp;amp; Woodin ilmaiskonsertti Keskuspuistossa oli kyllä silti reissun arvoinen. Metropolitan Museumin &lt;a href="http://blog.metmuseum.org/alexandermcqueen/"&gt;Alexander McQueen -näyttely&lt;/a&gt; oli myös ihan mieletön. Harkitsin hartaasti upean näyttelykatalogin hankkimista, mutta se jäi kuitenkin ainakin toistaiseksi vielä hyllylle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Sunnuntaiksi sää selkeni ja päätin jättää shoppailun väliin ja keskittyä joutilaiseen oleiluun Chelseassa/Greenwich Villagessa. Oli todella ilahduttavaa nähdä, että toisin kuin muualla Amerikassa, newyorkilaiset osaavat arvostaa ulkoilmaterasseja. Brunssipaikaksi valikoitui - täysin terassin perusteella - Le Pain&amp;nbsp;Quotidien&amp;nbsp;-ketjun Greenwichin haara.

Viimeisenä(!) Hampshesteri-viikonloppuna pakattiin makuupussit autoon, ja köytettiin vuokrakajakki katolle suuntana &lt;a href="http://www.nhstateparks.org/explore/state-parks/pillsbury-state-park.aspx"&gt;Pillsbury State Park&lt;/a&gt; noin tunnin ajomatkan päässä. Lähtisin uudestaankin, sen verran mukavat mestat oli siellä. Telttaillakin sai. Tosin ei jaksettu ruveta teltanpystytyshommiin, vaan nukuttiin auton takapaksissa. Kivoille paikoille ripoteltuja telttapaikkoja &amp;nbsp;noin 40 (ja niitä olisi kuulemma voinut varata myös etukäteen netistä). Varusteluna pönttövessat, muutama vesipiste, ja oma grillirinkula kullakin paikalla. Eli &lt;i&gt;just the way I like it&lt;/i&gt;. Alhainen varustelutaso&amp;nbsp;ja moottorivehjekielto vesireiteillä&amp;nbsp;pitävät nimittäin kivasti karavaanarit ja muut vesihiihtelijät loitolla. Camping-maksu oli meiltä yhteensä 21 dollaria/vrk, mikä oli mielestäni ihan kohtuullista, sillä vessat olivat tiptop-kunnossa, ja muutenkin paikat pidetty siisteinä.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Kajakkireissulla vastaan tuli muun muassa majava, joka pasteerasi pesänsä edessä häntäänsä uhmakkaasti läpsytellen.

Enimmäkseen matkaan on lähtenyt nahkalaukkuja ja vöitä. Täällä ei nimittäin harrasteta ollenkaan suomalaiseen tyyliin kirpparipöytien pitämistä, joten ihmiset kippaavat ylijäämänsä ilmaiseksi paikallisille hyväntekeväisyyskirppareille, joissa hinnat ovat yleensä todella kohdallaan. Toinen vaihtoehto on pitää&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Yard Sale&lt;/i&gt;, mutta jotenkin oma kynnykseni mennä tonkimaan toisten hylkiökamaa heidän omille pihoilleen on aika korkea...

Aurinkoisen ilman sattuessa vartin eväshetki huipulla tarjoaa varsin ekstaasinomaiset fiilarit.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wOdpNBGr5P4/TdATJI0yTLI/AAAAAAAABbc/vOXG9RRWc48/s1600/IMG_0632.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wOdpNBGr5P4/TdATJI0yTLI/AAAAAAAABbc/vOXG9RRWc48/s320/IMG_0632.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Viimenen vartti taivalletaan paljaalla kalliolla, joten maisemia voi ihailla näkemäesteittä.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b0AvILNr5B4/TdAUWcCnbAI/AAAAAAAABbs/XfNXUu0fhhA/s1600/IMG_0633.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b0AvILNr5B4/TdAUWcCnbAI/AAAAAAAABbs/XfNXUu0fhhA/s320/IMG_0633.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-voNRrBAoXu0/TdAUZoNWMnI/AAAAAAAABbw/6N3LxjeiSfY/s1600/IMG_0636.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-voNRrBAoXu0/TdAUZoNWMnI/AAAAAAAABbw/6N3LxjeiSfY/s320/IMG_0636.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Nälkähän siitä tuli.

Lähinnä siksi, että kahden ja puolen Hampshesteri-vuoden aikana olen käynyt koko kaupugissa ainoastaan kolmisen kertaa - ja se on vain&amp;nbsp;kahden tunnin köröttelyn päässä. Kaupunki ei vain ole onnistunut kertaakaan vakuuttamaan minua millään tavalla; aina on jäänyt jotenkin kylmä ja eloton fiilis. (Vierailuni ovat tosin sattuneet niille koleille alkukevään päiville, jolloin olen lähtenyt optimistisesti&amp;nbsp;vähän liian vähissä vaatteissa liikenteeseen. Tämä on eittämättä edesauttanut hyytävän tunnelman syntymistä...).&amp;nbsp;Mieluummin ajelen viisi tuntia New Yorkiin, jossa on kaikki se syke, joka Bostonista puuttuu. No, on siellä muutama visiitin arvoinen museumi. Päätin käydä katsastamassa Museum of Fine Artsin (MFA) uuden amerikkalaisen taiteen siiven, ja sattumalta kävelin sisään myös juuri auenneeseen Chihuly-näyttelyyn. Päätin uskaltaa laittaa kuvia eetteriin, koska johdantotekstistä löytyi tällainen klausuuli:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

(Toisaalta ehkä vähän epäreilua huudella täältä rapakon takaa yhtään mitään: pakko tunnustaa, etten vaivautunut ottamaan töistä lomaa ja ajamaan Bostoniin keskellä viikkoa äänestysuurnalle... miksei suomalaiset muka  voi hoitaa hommaa postitse, kuten saksalaiset?) Tänään olen ensimmäistä kertaa täällä joutunut  toteamaan olevani hieman vähemmän ylpeä suomalaisesta  sivistysyhteiskunnastamme... Saas nähdä miten nämä "tosisuomalaiset" (englanninkielisessä lehdistössä puolueen nimi käännetään sanoilla&lt;i&gt; True Finns&lt;/i&gt;. Eikö tämä nyt kuullosta jopa vähän äärioikeistolaisemmalta kuin on ehkä tarpeen...?) alkavat laittamaan asioita järjestykseen... Joku sanoi hyvin naamakirjan puolella jotenkin tähän tapaan: jos valtakunnan politiikka hoituisi sukkeluuksia sutkauttelemalla, olisi maamme hallistus savolaisten hyppysissä.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6054101922001467148-8319248530934792407?l=hampsteri.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hampsteri.blogspot.com/feeds/8319248530934792407/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6054101922001467148&amp;postID=8319248530934792407' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6054101922001467148/posts/default/8319248530934792407'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6054101922001467148/posts/default/8319248530934792407'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hampsteri.blogspot.com/2011/04/new-york-new-york-new-york-new-order-of.html' title='New York, New York &amp; new order of business'/><author><name>Essi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18031005611329201748</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nVzMaUq0dKE/TMYxzUPJ_KI/AAAAAAAABQM/DRr5XampNa0/S220/hampsteri3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4FvQIgTxX4Y/Tazc_qvziwI/AAAAAAAABXc/QADxZ97VTIg/s72-c/P3254670.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6054101922001467148.post-3674806238465164777</id><published>2011-04-17T18:45:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2011-04-19T22:04:10.686-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='matkoilla'/><title type='text'>Mexico &amp; Belize in one week</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Blogista näyttää tulleen enemmän lomakuva-albumi kuin amerikan-arjen kummastelukanava... Joka tapauksessa tässä tulee kuvia talvilomalta Yucatanin niemimaalta parin kuukauden(!) takaa. Reissu hiihdeltiin reitillä Cancun - Tulum - Caye Caulker - San Ignazio - Caye Caulker - Tulum - Cancun. Näistä Cancun toimitti lähinnä lentokenttäportaalin virkaa. Ensimmäinen etappi oli siis Tulum, joka sijaitsee vain&amp;nbsp; 2,5 tunnin bussimatkan päässä lentokentältä. Tykästyimme niin kovin, että päätimme ensi kerralla leiriytyä tänne koko viikoksi. Ehdottomasti loman positiivisin ylläri. Vaikka rantaviiva oli aikalailla hotellia hotellin perään, oli yleisilme enemmänkin joogakeskus/risukattobungalowi-tyyliä. Valkoista hiekkaa ja turkoosinsinistä merta - ja kenties maailman upeimmalla paikalla sijaitsevat maya-rauniot. Fiinien hotelliravintoloiden ohella vartin mopomatkan päässä kylän keskustasta löytyy paljon mainioita (=halpoja) paikallisia ruokapaikkoja. Ja siis vain pari tuntia etelään Cancunin Spring Break -helvetistä.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sLY-KOMVr_Q/TatM-q_ls6I/AAAAAAAABU8/tZRlBf5UO9I/s1600/P2134234.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sLY-KOMVr_Q/TatM-q_ls6I/AAAAAAAABU8/tZRlBf5UO9I/s400/P2134234.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Sää ei tosin suosinut.

En ottanut kuvia, koska A) en uskaltanut kaivaa esille rakasta EP-1:stäni, B) kurjuuden kuvaamisesta tulee minulle vähän sosiaaliporno fiilis. Joka tapauksessa oli ihan terveellistä nähdä vähän muutakin kuin turistialueiden kiillotettua pintaa. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Viimeiselle illalle olimme varanneet etukäteen yön rantamajasta Tulumissa.

Vuodelle 2011 on kertynyt&amp;nbsp; myös jo 1kpl New Yorkin reissuja (ja lisää tulossa vain 5 vkon kuluttua!!!!). Tällä kertaa ajatuksena oli hakea vähän vaihtelua Williamsburgin vakipaikalle, joten yömajaksi valikoitui &lt;a href="http://www.carltonarms.com/"&gt;Carlton Arms&lt;/a&gt;.

Tämä on kuulemma näkynyt alkuviikosta myös päällepäin; ystävälliset amerikkalaiset kun mielellään informoivat kanssaihmisiään tällaisista asioista... Voi&amp;nbsp; jiisus, että on kiva lähteä vähäksi aikaa ympäristöön, jossa tällaiset mölyt pidetään kohteliaasti mahassa. Ja se hymy siellä vähän etelämmässä...&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;Sunnuntaina koin pienen Pretty Woman -hetken Sohossa, kun kauan etsimäni nahkasaappaat tulivat viimein vastaan Sohossa. Haussa on jo pitemmän aikaa ollut&amp;nbsp; konstailematon ja elegantti pari tummanruskeita bootseja. Olin ehkä lauantai-illan hummailujen jäljiltä hieman nuutuneen näköinen ilmestys, kun saapastelin kyseiseen kenkäkauppaan. Palvelua ei kuulunut. Se säästettiin jälkeeni butiikkiin saapuneelle äveriäänoloiselle pariskunnalle, jonka nuorikko veteli jalkaan huikeita piikkareita toisensa perään. Minä olin kuitenkin löytänyt omani. En siis ole koskaan aikaisemmin maksanut 300 dollaria parista lapikkaita, mutta jotain kai napsahti päässäni pahemman kerran, kun lampsin kenkälaatikko kourassa kassalle kahden minuutin pohdinnan jälkeen. Yleensä harkitsen sukkienkin hankitaa kauemmin... No nyt olen sitten näiden italialaisten kaunokaisten ylpeä omistaja.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nVzMaUq0dKE/TQbuwlNBUtI/AAAAAAAABR8/MkGHnEQWi7c/s1600/5lf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nVzMaUq0dKE/TQbuwlNBUtI/AAAAAAAABR8/MkGHnEQWi7c/s320/5lf.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nVzMaUq0dKE/TQbub0Fmb2I/AAAAAAAABR4/ZkNc0-rUh7w/s1600/4to.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nVzMaUq0dKE/TQbub0Fmb2I/AAAAAAAABR4/ZkNc0-rUh7w/s320/4to.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nVzMaUq0dKE/TQbvDxB7h4I/AAAAAAAABSA/SI6x0q2aW4I/s1600/2pa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nVzMaUq0dKE/TQbvDxB7h4I/AAAAAAAABSA/SI6x0q2aW4I/s320/2pa.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Kuvat &lt;a href="http://www.viaspiga.com/content.aspx?contentID=shop#key=EC0225402"&gt;täältä.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;...ja PA.

Tällä kertaa ihan kalkkunan ja&amp;nbsp; natiivien kera. Neljän päivän vapaan innoittamana päätin heittää&amp;nbsp; myös ex tempore -reissun Montrealiin, kun satuin saamaan matkaseuraa tutuntutusta. New York kun on kuulemma&amp;nbsp; joka vuonna tähän aikaan täpösentäynnä Black Fridayna tunnetun ostosvillityspäivän vuoksi. Rakastan toki shoppailua siinä missä kuka tahansa, mutta tungokseen ja puolen tunnin pukukoppijonoihin minua ei saa kirveelläkään. Ja tänä vuonna olenkin tosi mallikkaasti hoitanut kaikki jouluostokset jo hyvissä ajoin. Siispä ajelin pohjoiseen naapuriin, missä moista konseptia ei kuulemma tunneta. Käytiin museossa ja syötiin hyvin. Mutta tälläkin kertaa kamera pysyi&amp;nbsp; enimmäkseen visusti kotelossaan... Pimeä loppusyksy ei vaan taida inspiroida hirveästi kuvailemaan.

Sounds like a very good plan indeed :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nVzMaUq0dKE/S8BKHwLr3xI/AAAAAAAABA0/LtIETJK0pro/s1600/P4061682.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nVzMaUq0dKE/S8BKHwLr3xI/AAAAAAAABA0/LtIETJK0pro/s400/P4061682.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458444245426495250" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sunbathing on Isola Tiberina :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try  {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nVzMaUq0dKE/S72Ttoxa22I/AAAAAAAABAc/0sBrSLK5c5k/s1600/P4061683.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 81px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nVzMaUq0dKE/S72Ttoxa22I/AAAAAAAABAc/0sBrSLK5c5k/s400/P4061683.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457680735691004770" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6054101922001467148-1309352745434452446?l=hampsteri.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hampsteri.blogspot.com/feeds/1309352745434452446/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6054101922001467148&amp;postID=1309352745434452446' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6054101922001467148/posts/default/1309352745434452446'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6054101922001467148/posts/default/1309352745434452446'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hampsteri.blogspot.com/2010/04/sabado.html' title='Sabato'/><author><name>Essi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18031005611329201748</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nVzMaUq0dKE/TMYxzUPJ_KI/AAAAAAAABQM/DRr5XampNa0/S220/hampsteri3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nVzMaUq0dKE/S8BZylRTGBI/AAAAAAAABBU/fPxGoiS35EU/s72-c/P4071698.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6054101922001467148.post-6830198906745578041</id><published>2010-04-05T13:53:00.019-04:00</published><updated>2010-04-09T07:50:11.999-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rome'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='matkoilla'/><title type='text'>Peesieinen</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Easter break snuck past me somehow, and now we are well into April already!

A welcome change after all that white marble.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Some of you might have noticed that my blog has recently been mainly about photos. The reason for the shift is not that I don't have anything to comment on about life in Italy - it's more about my love affair with my new camera - and the fact that I find the visual environment  here so endlessly fascinating.

Nifty.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(...and it just looks so darn cool, of course.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An example: a street view in Ravenna:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nVzMaUq0dKE/S7e0jt7fA9I/AAAAAAAAA7s/VYgCa4iHN_w/s1600/P3311535.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nVzMaUq0dKE/S7e0jt7fA9I/AAAAAAAAA7s/VYgCa4iHN_w/s400/P3311535.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456027999300158418" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Here's how it came out using the "Automatic" setting.

Compared to the former, the place was sleek and much more polished, in a sort of Scandinavian way. Different atmosphere altogether, but, yet again, mostly frequented what looked like well-to-do locals (Jews, judging by the kippah-ratio among the males).  The carciofi was excellent. In fact, everything was so good we ended up staying for the whole shebang.

Add sleet and the occasional hail into the mix and you've got a very wet and miserable Hampster. You'd think a trip south would mean sunshine and loveliness... The very last thing you'd think of doing in this weather is walking all day long on archaeological sites. Of course, that's exactly what we did. I really hope I'd  have brought my Wellingtons (=Nokian kumpparit). Well, it wasn't all bad of course - the archaeological gems around the bay of Naples really are definitely worth the trip. It was just a bit of a shame we couldn't enjoy the experience as much we could have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some random highlights:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try  {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nVzMaUq0dKE/S5tksLTGupI/AAAAAAAAAxM/wUtmfrJ0x2o/s1600-h/P3100719.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nVzMaUq0dKE/S5tksLTGupI/AAAAAAAAAxM/wUtmfrJ0x2o/s400/P3100719.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448058884344691346" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Pompeii  digs have their own train station :) Didn't make it to the Mystery  Villa this time, though.

We came quite close yesterday, with only about 5 metres and a&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; custode&lt;/span&gt; separating us from the show. The mission is now approaching epic proportions. The first attempt got sabotaged by an&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; ex tempore&lt;/span&gt;-decision to have &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;carciofi &lt;/span&gt;on the way. Two delicious deep-fried treats and one bottle of wine later we realized there was no time for Caravaggio after all. Yesterday things fell much in the same vein. After two  utter failures we finally learned our lesson and yesterday cleverly planned to see the exhibition &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;before &lt;/span&gt;dinner. This ingenious idea got squashed when we arrived at the queu at 6.30 pm, only to find out the stop letting people in at 7:00. Oh, well.

(The first one to leave the right answer in the comment box gets a golden star ;D)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Oh, and artichoke season is  here! Which means it's time to find the best  place in town for &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Carhiofi alla Giudia&lt;/span&gt;  (i.e. deep-fried artichokes). This is a typical Roman (Jewish)  dish, and considered quite a delicacy among the initiated. How many  deep-fired things can you say that of? (Snickers bars, anyone?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try  {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nVzMaUq0dKE/S4Lm8VskEtI/AAAAAAAAAqk/qytSUunwJeI/s1600-h/P2200343.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nVzMaUq0dKE/S4Lm8VskEtI/AAAAAAAAAqk/qytSUunwJeI/s400/P2200343.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441165224107578066" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Thus, I  gathered a sizeable team of  aspiring foodies from the institute and headed to  the Jewish ghetto (not a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;real &lt;/span&gt;ghetto, not for a while now). The first door we opened belonged to a place called Nonna Betta - it's almost  next to the famous &lt;a href="http://www.giggetto.it/english/home.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Giggetto&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, which is rumoured to be the best. While this was OK, we  concluded that this can probably be done a lot better.  (Connoisseurs among you are welcome to comment on the appearance). Maybe  the menus in English and the fact that we got shoved in the basement  instead of the main venue had something to do with my overall  evaluation. Would not recommend the place. The quest continues...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6054101922001467148-3538188328639192107?l=hampsteri.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hampsteri.blogspot.com/feeds/3538188328639192107/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6054101922001467148&amp;postID=3538188328639192107' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6054101922001467148/posts/default/3538188328639192107'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6054101922001467148/posts/default/3538188328639192107'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hampsteri.blogspot.com/2010/02/so-much-going-on-so-little-time-to.html' title='Tempus fugit'/><author><name>Essi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18031005611329201748</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nVzMaUq0dKE/TMYxzUPJ_KI/AAAAAAAABQM/DRr5XampNa0/S220/hampsteri3.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nVzMaUq0dKE/S4Q9Gr6LwdI/AAAAAAAAAr0/NwmqgI5TDx4/s72-c/P2220376.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6054101922001467148.post-3377923906923727274</id><published>2010-02-17T15:09:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-02-18T15:35:44.710-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rome'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hömppää'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='yay'/><title type='text'>Urbs</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Made it here in one piece.

As my departure to the Apennine Peninsula approaches, I thought I'd make an attempt to switch to English. (It's about time my Teutonic friend(s) got in the loop on what I'm going on about over here. That, or I'm just too lazy to write emails...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feels awkward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But here we go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A few words of introduction for those of you who've ended up here for whatever reason:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm a 20-something wannabe of all trades, who somehow ended up living in a small town on the wrong side of the Atlantic. It all worked out pretty well. I love my job and most of the time I have absolutely nothing to complain about (this doesn't mean I won't).  This blog was originally intended as a medium for witty anecdotes about my various (mis)adventures in (and observations about) American society.  Mostly I've resorted to posting travel-related photos for family and friends. Due to some very fortunate academics-related circumstances, I will be blogging from Rome for the next three months. &lt;3 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All photos are my own, unless otherwise indicated.  Which reminds me: next time I hope to post some pics again - shot with my long-awaited, brand new camera! &lt;a href="http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/product.asp?product=1461"&gt;Oh, it's a beauty alright...   &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(P.S. 29-and-counting is still technically "20-something" and can be legitimately attributed as such.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6054101922001467148-8660412751027109189?l=hampsteri.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hampsteri.blogspot.com/feeds/8660412751027109189/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6054101922001467148&amp;postID=8660412751027109189' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6054101922001467148/posts/default/8660412751027109189'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6054101922001467148/posts/default/8660412751027109189'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hampsteri.blogspot.com/2010/01/ledizione-inglese.html' title='L&apos;edizione inglese'/><author><name>Essi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18031005611329201748</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nVzMaUq0dKE/TMYxzUPJ_KI/AAAAAAAABQM/DRr5XampNa0/S220/hampsteri3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6054101922001467148.post-2544303081202666860</id><published>2010-01-23T15:27:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-01-23T16:15:52.389-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='New York'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='matkoilla'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hömppää'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='valivali'/><title type='text'>Kameran kätköistä</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Sainpas viimein lykättyä kameran piuhan koneeseen.

Ehkä syynä on tällä kertaa tosin pikemminkin vanhenemisen mukanaantuoma turnausväsymys kuin varsinaisen arjen ankeus. Töissä on edelleen tosi kiva käydä, kun vain pysyisi silmät auki... Perjantaina käytiin nimittäin ensimmäinen kehityskeskustelu pomoni kanssa. Paikalliseen tapaan tämä  on tilaisuus pitää henkilökohtainen pep talk, jossa sanotaan kiitos joka lauseen alussa ja keskellä ja lopuksikin vielä vakuutellaan miten mahtavaa, että näin upea yksilö on saatu talliin. Kauheen kiva kun arvostetaan, enkä aio ollenkaan ajatella tätä &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;paikalliseen tapaan&lt;/span&gt; -ulottuvuutta tässä asiassa. Olen paras työntekijä &lt;span&gt;ever&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;New Yorkin reissun paras juttu oli tällä kertaa ehkä 3D:nä nähty &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Avatar&lt;/span&gt;... Kun en ollut moista teknologiaa aikaisemmin päässyt killistelemään, niin olihan se aika päräyttävä kokemus, tämä kolmiulotteinen elokuvankatsanta. Visuaalisen ilotulituksen ansiosta edes juonen mielikuvituksettomuus ei haitannut juurikaan. Valkoihoinen-mies-pelastaa-jalot-villi-ihmiset on toki aika ankea mesitsi (vrt. Tanssii susien kanssa, Pocahontas...). Joka tapauksessa suosittelen viihde-elämyksenä lämpimästi. Ja olihan siinä myös luonnonsuojeluvalistusta, ehkä jopa keskeisimpänä teemana. Mutta elkää katsoko sitä traileria, se on ihan pömpselistä.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Käytiin myös MoMAssa, jossa oli menossa mm. &lt;a href="http://www.moma.org/interactives/exhibitions/2009/timburton/index.php"&gt;Tim Burton -näyttely&lt;/a&gt;, joka oli harmittavasti loppuunmyyty. Kaverilta on muuten tulossa tulkinta aiheesta Liisa Ihmemaassa - 3D:nä. Traileri näytti ainakin hurjan hyvälle. Onneksi ehdittiin vilaista yläkerran Bauhaus-installaatio, ja tietty ihastella kokoelman kuuluisuuksia. On se ihan eri meininki noissa maailmanluokan instituutioissa...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oi, ja sokerina tämän viikonlopun pohjalla vielä, että rakkaat ystävät ostivat juuri lentoliput  ja tulevat meitä moikkaamaan syksyllä.

Tässä muutama esimerkki:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Yhden/kahden oluen/siiderin ostaminen kaupasta. Hankalaa, kun odotusarvo on vähintään se sikstari... Kassa hämmentyy ja soittaa yleensä paikalle esimiehen kysyäkseen voiko näitä edes myydä näin... Niin ja ne siiderit... ei ole tullut paljon harrastettua, kun makeusaste on omenamehun luokkaa. Ja se lonkerohan on sitten ihan oma juttunsa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mistä tulikin mieleen: Mäyräkoira. Jos on kuitenkin pakko ostaa se 12 kpl lasipulloihin paketoitua juomaa, niin kyllä se pitkulainen  kahvallinen malli on aika ässä. Täällä sama määrä on paketoitu massiiviseen neliöön, jonka kantaminen onnistuu meikäläiseltä vain kaksin käsin. Enkä edes lähde kommentoimaan kierrätysjärjestelmän olemattomuutta... Ahdistavaa dumppailla kaikki menemään, kun tietää, että asian voisi hoitaa myös toisin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kaupan kassalla ärsyttää myös se että ostokset tungetaan automaattisesti ilmaisiin sekundamuovipusseihin, joita ei voi edes käyttää roskapusseina, koska ovat täynnä reikiä. Sitten jos on omat bägit megessä, niin katsotaan kieroon. Näin siis meidän halpamarketissa; rikkaihen Coopissa on toki kaikki  toisin - mutta siellä ei ole vielä varaa shoppailla muuta kuin tilipäivänä... Toistaiseksi ajelen kerran viikossa Price Chopperin ja Walmartin kylkeen parkkiin ja metsästän hyllyjen välistä tarvikkeita, joiden tuoteselosteessa ei lue että &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;high-glucose corn syrup&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;mono sodium glutamate&lt;/span&gt; tai muuta jännää.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tällä viikolla jännää elämään lisäävät yliopistolla käytävät kehityskeskustelut, joiden tuloksena pitäisi saksia sellaiset 100 miljoona budjetista. Lama on siis käynyt myös Ivy League-instituutioiden rahamasseilla. Ensi viikolla selviää viuhuuko viikate omalla sektorilla... Pidämmä sormet ristissä, kuten täällä on tapana. Peukkujen pystyttelyllä ei nimittäin ole ilmeisesti samaa onnea tuovaa merkitystä kuin koto-Suomessa... Samassa tarkoituksessa kotiteutoonini tosin tapaa "puristella" peukaloitaan...

Koluttiin viikossa sekä  Yellowstone että Grand Teton National Park. Lähes täydellinen yhdistelmä luontomatkailua: ensimmäisessä voi tirkistellä villielukoiden meininkiä ihan oikeassa luonnossa ja jälkimmäisessä (eli hyvin vapaasti suomentaen Suurten Tissien Kansallispuistossa :D - nimi on tietenkin ranskalaisten kolonialistien aivoitus: kukapa muu olisi katsastanut näitä vuorenhuippuja ja ajatellut heti, että &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Aaah,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;tissit!&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nVzMaUq0dKE/SuTNO86hZzI/AAAAAAAAAfo/x7OU8Tmp1rk/s1600-h/IMG_2327.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nVzMaUq0dKE/SuTNO86hZzI/AAAAAAAAAfo/x7OU8Tmp1rk/s400/IMG_2327.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396663910250145586" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Joka tapauksessa, siellä jälkimmäisessä on tarjolla enemmän tätä henkeäsalpaavaa maisemaosastoa. Kesällä minua ei sinne saisi kirveelläkään, sillä paikka on todellakin maan kuuluisinta kansallismaisemaa ja yleensä kuhisee turisteja pesueineen. Näin syksystä tilanne oli oikein siedettävä. Tosin telttailuun liittyy syyskuun lopulla jo jännittävä lumentulon mahdollisuus - ja tämän saimme tietysti kokea ihan omakohtaisesti, kun alkuviikon helteiden jälkeen alkoi keskiviikkona räpsiä lunta ja räntää taivaalta. Loppuviikon mittarilukemat painuivat öisin kymmenen pakkasasteen paikkeille. Onneksi hoksattiin rytmittää ulkoilmaleiriytymisen väliin yö mökissä, niin ei päässyt vilutus liian kovaksi eikä kehon pesuvälit liian pitkiksi. Sesongin ulkopuolella hinnatkin olivat kohillaan. Sillai semisti siis telttailtiin. Ensimmäinen yö oltiin &lt;a href="http://www.shoshonelodge.com/"&gt;Shoshone Lodge&lt;/a&gt;n mökissä hieman puiston itäisen sisäänkäynnin ulkopuolella.  Lennot olivat Codyyn (Wyoming) ja sieltä ruokavarastojen hampstrausoperaation jälkeen sitten kohti tätä ensimmäistä etappia. Mökki oli ihan jees,  muttei mikään elämysten elämys.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aamulla pakattiin auto ja ampaistiin matkaan. Vähän piti hieraista silmiä, kun heti ensimmäisessä mutkassa vastaan lampsi tämmöinen:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nVzMaUq0dKE/SuTT0oE58lI/AAAAAAAAAgg/A7woEkgMUhM/s1600-h/IMG_1949.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nVzMaUq0dKE/SuTT0oE58lI/AAAAAAAAAgg/A7woEkgMUhM/s400/IMG_1949.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396671154561348178" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Ihan muina miehinä vastaan tuli  tien laitaa pitkin...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Puistossa ensimmäisenä vastaan tuli Yellowstone Lake:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nVzMaUq0dKE/SuTVtf_HY1I/AAAAAAAAAg4/jFTT1gq4oNE/s1600-h/IMG_1955.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nVzMaUq0dKE/SuTVtf_HY1I/AAAAAAAAAg4/jFTT1gq4oNE/s400/IMG_1955.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396673231153750866" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Ja erinäisiä geotermisiä ilmiöitä.

Ihan kuin se vessakoppi ei olisi tarpeeksi pieni muutenkin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Bussilla parkkipaikalta työpaikan ovelle - parhaimmillaan matkaa kertyy hurjat 200 metriä. Ja siellä odotellaan sitten sitä bussia. Ei voi kävellä. Ei metriäkään. (Tosin parhaimmat kommentit tähän asti tulivat kuwaitilaisten harkkareitten suusta. "Ei olla koskaan kävelty näin paljon!" Kavereitten asuntola oli kuitenkin noin 150 metrin päässä museolta. Voi pyhä sylvi!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Makea purkka. Ei ole kiva semmoista jauhaa ruoan päälle. Mutta vaihtoehtoja ei ole. Xylitolia eivät tunne täällä. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Jenkki &lt;/span&gt;on siis ihan  harhaanjohtava tuotemerkki.

Eivät tosin ole täällä ihan samaa pöyheysluokkaa  kuin brittiläiset sukulaisensa, mutta silti aika vastenmielinen ilmiö.  Siis jopa sairaalassa. Imagine that!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Siinäpä niitä.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tässä välillä käytiin sitten pitkän työputken päälle vielä pidempään suunnitellulla lomalla. Upea reissu. Paluu työelämään tapahtui suoraan juoksusta. Sprintti jatkunee tämän viikon lopulle ja sitten pitäisi hellittää... Saas nähdä.

Uusi kiesi vaati ehdottomasti pitkän matkan koeajoa, ja koska sopiva tilaisuus sellaisen järjestämiseen tarjoutui kuin varkain, lähtivät nämä ylpeät uuden auton omistajat ajelemaan lauantaina iltasella kohti Cape Codin lomailualueita. Aika myöhään meni, mutta löydettiin lopulta pimeässä perille työkaverin sukulaisen kesäpaikkaan. Odotetusti puitteet olivat aikamoiset siellä, missä kellään alle 40-kymppisellä ei ole varaa  asua... Sellainen the Rich  Uncle -tyyppinen sitsyeissön... Mutta ilmeisesti suvuissa, joissa tämän luokan vauraus ei ole poikkeus vaan sääntö,  ei onneksi tunnu olevan tarvetta rehvastella rahoillaan tai aiheuttaa muissa alemmuuden tunnetta. Eli hirmu kiva oli fiilis ja juttu luisti kivasti aamun tunneille.

Seurannan tuloksena tulin siihen päätelmään, että ilmeisesti vain poikaravuilla on nuo isot kourat, joilla leuhottaa. Ei ne käyttäneet niitä ainakaan mihinkään syömiseen, vaan nappailivat noilla pienemmillä käsillään jotain murusia suuhunsa. Tytöt pystyy vetämään kaksin käsin :D Yksi niistä oli albiino ja ne muut väistivät sitä kuin ruttoa.

Otettiin sellainen mahdollisimman hidas lautta ja paineltiin kannelle drinkit räpylässä. Hyvin tunkkaisen hampshesterikesän jälkeen voin kertoa, että merituuli tuntui aika ihanalta iholla.

Vuokra-autolla varmuuden vuoksi, kun oma on osoittautunut vähintäänkin epäluotettavaksi laitteeksi. Matkalla törmäsimme lainavehkeen yllättävääkin yllättävämpiin suunnittelullisiin ratkaisuihin. Chevyn sisävalaisua ei nimittäin kriittisellä hetkellä saa päälle muuten kuin oven avaamalla. Siis oikeesti. Tutkittiin aika tarkkaan. Tämähän on oikein kiva ominaisuus, jos ollaan suunnistamassa iltahämärissä kartan kera. Onneksi oli sytkäri taskussa...

Tosin  luuska Tauruksemme on nyt tietenkin osoittanut selviä virkoamisen merkkejä. Ihan niinkuin se aistisi romuttamoreissun lähestyvän... Kyllä on ollut kiva shoppailla käytettyä autoa, kun ei kumpikaan ymmärrä  kiesien päälle yhtään mitään.  Kun kaikkein pisimmät keskustelut käydään värivalinnoista niin tiedätte, että asialla on oikein todellinen hifistelijäkaksikko :D Siinä sitten potkiskellaan renkaita ja kurkitaan konepellin alle ihan niin kuin sieltä jotain osattaisiin kattella... Mutta onneksi ei sentään ostettu sitä 3-litraista turbo Nissania, vaikka siinä oli  kaikki herkut :D Eikä sitä uutta Suzukia - lähin merkkikorjaamo olisi ollut 100 mailin päässä.  Sen sijaan tiistaina pihaan saattaa pärähtää vanha mutta hyvissä käsissä ollut Honda, jolla toivottavasti saadaan ajella kohtuu huoletta seuraavat pari vuotta... Ärsyttävän paljon autoasioita on joutunut funtsimaan viime viikkoina.

Nimittäin tämä ilmastointiasia. Ei jumalauta ole mitään järkeä ihmisen säilöä itseään jatkuvassa jääkaappilämpötilassa. Voi tosin hyvinkin olla, että nämä ihraiset jenkit härskiintyvät huoneenlämpöön jätettyinä... Mene tiedä, mutta hirmu vaikea pukeutua työpäivään, kun ulkona on 30 asteen helle, mutta sekä bussissa että toimistolla vallitsee antarktinen talvi. Paikallisia ei tunnu haittaavan pätkääkään. Tosin ei täällä meidän tuskaisella ullakollakaan ole ihmisen hyvä olla... Mutta kohtuu kaikessa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Sekin on pistänyt silmään, etteivät nämä tykkää istuksia ulkona "terassilla". Ei ole terassia täällä. Muuta kuin yksi. Ja sinne ajelemme sitten autolla, hurrur. Siis oikeesti. Jos on ravinteli vaikkapa kauniin joen rannalla, ei sinne joelle päin ole vältsisti edes ikkunoita laitettu - saati mitään terankia sitten. Ja jos onkin joku hulluttelupäissään terankin rakentanut, niin on sen kuitenkin varmuuden vuoksi eristänyt ulkoilmasta lasituksin. Ja amerikkalainen istuu sisällä ja ilmastointi pauhaa. Oikein mainostavat, että "meilläpä tohottaa AC ihan kohtuuttoman kovalla!" Menkää vaan sinne sisälle jöpöttämään. Ulkona saattaa olla kesä.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hirveätä energian tuhluuta.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6054101922001467148-1330041857517041995?l=hampsteri.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hampsteri.blogspot.com/feeds/1330041857517041995/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6054101922001467148&amp;postID=1330041857517041995' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6054101922001467148/posts/default/1330041857517041995'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6054101922001467148/posts/default/1330041857517041995'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hampsteri.blogspot.com/2009/07/ilmastonmuutoksia.html' title='Ilmastonmuutoksia'/><author><name>Essi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18031005611329201748</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nVzMaUq0dKE/TMYxzUPJ_KI/AAAAAAAABQM/DRr5XampNa0/S220/hampsteri3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6054101922001467148.post-5466435063120567112</id><published>2009-07-02T06:30:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-03T14:10:58.020-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ruoka'/><title type='text'>Otsikko</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;En aio vääntää tästä mitään ruokablogia, mutta yhtä juttua on pakko hehkuttaa vähäsen tähän väliin.

Tällä hetkellä kovimmassa käytössä on kinoa, jota olen testaillut vaikka mihin - ja aina on natsannut.

Ja koska alkoi sörsseli sen vuoksi kääntyä kivasti välimerelliseen suuntaan, niin olen heitellyt sekaan myös milloin mitäkin samaan fiilikseen sopivia yrttejä.

Kävin vähän kotona juhlittamassa. Nyt on sitäkin tehty sitten varastoon vaikka kahden ihmisen edestä. Suku katsastettiin ja juhannukset vietettiin. Hauskaa oli. Onko aikuistumista jos ei enää jaksa morkkistaa? Vaiko moraalin heikkenemistä? Ihan sama. Joka tapauksessa olisin voinut olla pitempäänkin. Kesä Suomessa olisi ollut aika jees... Mutta takaisin oli tultava - eikä ihan huonosta syystä ollenkaan. Työurani Ameriikan Yhdysvalloissa alkoi virallisesti tiistaina kello 8 paikallista aikaa. Fanfaareja ja läpytyksiä ei kuulunut muuta kuin omassa päässä, mutta siellä sitäkin lujempaa. Pieni askel ihmiskunnalle, valtava Hampsterille jne.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Onko tämmöistä olemassakaan, että on kivaa mennä töihin???  Pelurimaiset liikkeeni oli nimittäin poissa ollessani huomattu ja noteerattu ihan johtoportaassa asti - ja palkittu täysin yli odotusten. Saatan pakahtua innostuksesta. Jep. Työasia on ihana asia. Mutta ei siitä sen enempää.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kotona tunnelma on kuumentunut lähes sietämättömäksi. Ainakin kämpän lämpötilan suhteen ;) Ullakkokämpästämme on nimittäin sukeutunut kosteilla kesähelteillä varsinainen sauna. Ja minä vanhana saunanystävänä tykkään... Tuskallista, kun ei ole mihinkään minne mennä vilvoittelemaan. Autokin on toimintakunnoton. Valivali. Ekan palkkashekin käteen saatuani kävelen (kun ei sitä autoakaan ole) suorinta tietä kodinkoneliikkeeseen ja kannan sieltä kotiin sellaisen ilmastointipömpelin. Siihen on vielä kaksi viikkoa :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6054101922001467148-2881752624486312290?l=hampsteri.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hampsteri.blogspot.com/feeds/2881752624486312290/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6054101922001467148&amp;postID=2881752624486312290' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6054101922001467148/posts/default/2881752624486312290'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6054101922001467148/posts/default/2881752624486312290'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hampsteri.blogspot.com/2009/07/ihana-loma-ja-ihan-kiva-kotiinpaluu.html' title='Ihana loma ja ihan kiva kotiinpaluu'/><author><name>Essi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18031005611329201748</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nVzMaUq0dKE/TMYxzUPJ_KI/AAAAAAAABQM/DRr5XampNa0/S220/hampsteri3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6054101922001467148.post-4438539185012862403</id><published>2009-06-02T08:33:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2010-04-12T03:36:09.750-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='matkoilla'/><title type='text'>Adios</title><content type='html'>Kello on nyt jo 9 aamulla ja viiden tunnin päästä pitäisi olla ovella matkalaukut pakattuina matkalla lentokentälle.
