Have a seat in my
humble establishment, have a sip or two of ale, and let me bend your
ear.
This tavern is home
to sound clips, Finland info, cool pictures, plenty of
opinions, and a well tended bar (search engines drink up).
[Established 2001- Ryan Karkkainen, Proprietor]
So- after a
long journey, you have found your way to the Finlander's
Tavern. My door is always open, the fire well-tended,
and your mug is always filled.
Here you will
hear a friendly voice as you recover from your travels.
It seems as though everyone's favorite topic is
themselves... and given that I don't know anyone better
than myself- that's where I'll start.
I fancy
myself a bit of a philosopher and quite a satirist,
mayhaps you will find my thoughts, interests and hobbies
of a bit of interest.
You might also want to
glance at a ledger of my travails (my resume) and allow
me to recommend some other fine establishments (a list
of my favorite links).
Please sign my
guestbook with any comments or reactions you have to my
site. Send me a bit of mail if you like. As proprietor
of this humble establishment, I love to hear the stories
of the travellers who find their way here.
What's
New?
Here I might
add an entry whenever I make an update to my site. I

and my larder exquisitely filled. For example:

The sound
file below will allow you to hear the sounds of
the tavern: the room is filled with the bustle of
patrons eating, drinking, and making merry, as
some local minstrels strum a festive lay.
