Awww! Finnish tango...it is one of the best there is in this miserable world. Outside Argentina, that is. Only sadder and far more macabre. I would almost say: "more to the point" if it wasn´t slightly beside (the point).
I shall never forget seeing these wodka-faced fat-arsed (if you will excuse my habituarily wild way of expressing myself) aged couples dance the tango in a seedy hotel bar in far off Helsinki; their Leningrad-Cowboy-like visages frozen like stone grimaces and all this, with the utmost grace and desolately love-inducing finnish feeling after my ship trip across the boreal sea to Finland to learn some hald-ways decent english in my long gone silly youth in Scandinavia.
But your trip sounds just lovely too, loved reading it on this snowy day in Berlin, anyway!
