Okay, let's
start with stating that it's getting _very_ rare to find arcade
games to play in Finland. The last nationwide chain of arcades
pretty much closed this year and there's only some machines
scattered around the country. So imagine our surprise, when our
friend Muto and his girlfriend visited a kids amusement park
Puuhamaa the end of July 2003. The idea of the park is that you only
pay admission (15 E) after which you can use all the water slides,
carousels, go-karts and the like as much as you want. Hidden in the
back of the yard, was a building... just see the pictures...
and remember, they were all free to play. I guess we'll have to
visit there next year. And everybody sings "Puuhamaa on jännä
paikka, Puuhamaa se on iloinen..." !
