Hesari... more than just a newspaper

One of top rituals I have nowadays is reading Helsingin Sanomat - the real paper one - on Saturday and Sunday mornings with Nina. Sleeping long, waking peacefully up in no hurry, fetching the paper, cooking a pot of tea and diving into Hesari for 1-1.5 hours. This summer that was even doable at the balcony almost every weekend we were in Espoo - triplefermented great ! Even though it's a shame that kids grow up so fast it has it's benefits too - this Hesari heaven has been possible since even Valtteri has started to take care and enjoy the no-fuzz-weekend-cartoon-mornings.

Hesari is Rock'n'Roll. Loads of new things constantly especially in foreign section and special sections.
Btw, paper as media is giving a unique way of actually feeling it all at one time - first quickly browsing the whole section, positioning and evaluating the stories, thinking about "What might that really be about", "hhmmm that looks interesting", and then diving into each story by sometimes just getting a bite of it before moving to next and then coming back to previous and eating the whole story with a sip of tea. Total experince which is just simply not replaceable to me by Internet's effective news feeds and shortened summaries ;o)

An memorable excerp from this weeks Hesari (just a shame that however interesting stories I will forget them too soon... like good jokes)
This weeks science section:
"Strange Mathematical Genius Perelman"
"We are going back to moon"
"The hole in Ozone layer above the Antartic is not widening anymore"
"The ice layer of Greenland keeps melting away" - 7 meters sea water level increase to expected"
"Spiders from Amazonas... first ones to known to hunt in groups"














In culture section there was also an interesting story about the English professor's book about Finland and it's history. "Researcher breaks the myths of Finns".














Hurraa Hesari - hurraa vanha kunnon sanomalehti !

Say No - it is great

"No thanks. Not interested." - what a wonderful & respectful response! Good straight forward fast "No" keeps thin...
