If You want to see something special in the middle of
Kuopio, come to
Pikku-Pietarin Torikuja (Pikku-Pietari Market Alley). Long, old
building includes little shops, hand-made items, gifts and a cafe. You could also
meet Pikku-Pietari himself: A little boy dressed in 1800 century cloathes singing
traditional finnish folksongs.
In market alley there’s many peaces of hand-made items, that
You can’t get from nowhere else in the world. Like wooden souvenier cork that has
text: Kysyjän perseeseen tulppa ( Plug
to questioners ass). That’s weird Savo humor but don’t be afraid. Many finnish
people don’t understand it either.
Savo people are strange but honest, and they tend to laugh
behind Your back. In a warm way, of course. Savo people also like to talk a lot
so visitors are always welcome to Kuopio.
One thing You must know: old people
don’t speak any other languages than savo but still, they will talk to You willingly.
Just say okay and kiitos (thank you) and You’ll do fine.
