During the summer months in Helsinki, you can enjoy incredibly high quality classical music just walking down the street. Russia and the Baltic States are close: conservatory students as well as professional musicians from National Orchestras and the like come over during their summer breaks. Often, they earn more busking in Helsinki than they do employed in the cultural instances at home. This string quintet was superb. The girl on the left sold their cds for 15 euros, but I was too skint and stingy to buy one. I did give them what my mum&myself had in the way of change, though.

The pain she feels missing him is more precious than any pleasure she's ever had.
Exquisite. Beautiful. Real.
