I have some pictures from our wonderful exhibition, but more is needed to be able to make exhibition also to our website. The atmosphere in Forssa museo was difficult to capture, but it is certainly something that will stay in our minds. Some of the clocks are still seen during this summer. Thank you for everybody - our time together is interesting also as a picture.

Mitä kuuluu. So here I am again with the rest of the story. We took the bus from Helsinki to Forrsa. Amazing... woods and woods and woods. Some of our Belgians were here earlier in winter and they are amazed to see so many lakes, cause they weren´t there in wintertime. Forssa is a lovely town, based on former cotton industry. Again they did a great job in renovating the old factory into something totally contemporary. Our hotel is a lovely building with lots of charms, and we were all pleased after the sterile rooms of the Cumulus Hotel in Helsinki.

So we went to Finland on this rainy morning in June. We just had Belgian parliament elections, which gave us enough talks on the train to Brussels. With some delay in Riga we finally ended in Helsinki. Two days to explore the city. My first impression was the emptiness of the city. This doesn´t look like a European capital at all, cause I´m used to busy Western capitals like Brussels, London and Paris. Streets are so broad here, there are so many open spaces and traffic is so little.

Very interesting visions on this small country in the hart of the action ...

I read this very interesting article about the diversity of languages in New Scientist. For 50 years scientists have been looking for the universal grammar underlying all languages, but these absolute rules have become a straitjacket.
Any given language is a complex system shaped by many factors, including culture, genetics and history. There seem to be no absolutely universal traits of language, only tendencies. And it is a mix of strong and weak tendencies that characterises the "bio-cultural" hybrid we call language.
