Dancing Cottage

Pavilion dance might be one of the most common summer hobbies from south to north, but not quite as frequently the dance partner turns out to be a cottage.

After the sabbatical leave the team is back on Finnish Favorite Hobbies with more new episodes! There will be a new episode coming around every three weeks.

On one hand this episode is based on the huge popularity of pavilion dance in Finland during summer time. The other factor is the finnish idiom, sujuu kuin tanssi, flows like a dance, which characterizes tasks that might sound difficult, but prove easy to be carried out after all. This episode combines the summer dance approach with the attitude sujuu kuin tanssi.

Hong Kong -Espoo

Beautiful scenery is always enjoyable, and green plants make it even more delightful. This landscape trip takes us to two sides of the globe with the rhythm of Chan Wai Fat.

After a busy autumn, the production team finally managed to put together long planned scenery trip to Hong Kong and Espoo. What is surprising, is that even Hong Kong is one of the most crowded cities in the world, there appears to be forests and green areas to the similar extent as in Espoo - which in turn is one of the least crowded cities in the world. The cities may be similar just in appearance, but surely it is easy to agree, that at least the number of people in Hong Kong matches the number of trees in Espoo.
