Yesterday was Easter Monday, a holiday.
I have my granddaughter, Asha, here from England. I wanted to show her some of the cultural highlights of Oulu!
Our first stop was the Auto Museum - Closed!
Our second stop was the Botanical Greenhouse which is part of Oulu University and normally is open to visitors - Closed!
Our third stop was the Geology Museum which is part of the Oulu University - Closed!
Finally, I settled on an Open Air Children's park near the beach - none of the snow from the park had been cleared, even though we are in the middle of spring.
We visited the house of a Zambian friend, Kamurtaza tembo, where a Zambian Football Star was visiting, so that Asha could meet Zeddy Sailetti who plays football for Rovaniemi.
Finally, we went to a Turkish Pizzeria and then to Thai Restaurant to meet friends and get some food. I knew they would be OPEN.
It seems that only foreigners work in Oulu on a holiday!
European City of Culture - BAH!!!
