Directions to Rio Grande -> Myyrmäki
Less crap on the map...
You have to find
a) yourself out of the trainstation.
b) locate the taxi queue
c) twirl until your nose shows to the pub toppari and your back towards the pizza taxi
d) get up the stairs, doors luring you on the left...
e) there is an underpass that takes you to a parking lot, turn right.
F) doors luring you are ones of the R-kioski and there is a "wall" as well, Rio Grande is the last one.

sorry Sara..I like Hanks map a lot... (also, Hank, I added in your subject directions to Rio Grande - Myyrmäki so that when people dont know where to go, they can just do a subject search direction to Rio Grande and find the thread easier...and less typing for you in the future..

Not sure about the accuracy of that claim.
..some creep in the hope of seeing BAT and Sara again . ..but we usualy manage to frighten them away back to the Toppari from where they came! 
Does anyone know the translation of Toppari..I thought it was the football position that Sami H plays at Liverpool. But the Rio gang say it actualy means "End of the Line"....i.e Nowhere else worse left to go!
OK phone call to local self proclaimed "expert" his explanation...Hank W. wrote:"Toppari" is I think a Swedish word meaning "stopper" thats just lost a few extra unnecessary letters. Its at the end of the train track you know that big triangular thing that sits on the tracks.
When the M line was first opened the End of the line was Myyrmäki not as now Vantaakoski..the word translated frrom Swedish to English in railway lingo is.. "The Buffers"
oh bugger, never thought on that!Peter Floyd wrote:Rio is expected to be very busy on this Friday evening pikujulat season...public holiday Saturday...tables probably fully booked..standing room only!
oh well, looks only to be a handful of us.
Dont suppose its even worth me trying to book us a table?
If Sami uses his charm on the phone he might get a table for designed for four but which can take six at a squeeze...(like the one you had with äiti last Sat)...but probably they will just offer a time slot, e.g. 2 hours, restaurant want to sell the same table at least twice a night during the silly season ..unless we are a party of 10+ but tell Sami to switch on the suomi charm ..I have used up all of my credits in that area since my "oletko ilmaiseksi ?".. blunderSara wrote:oh bugger, never thought on that!Peter Floyd wrote:Rio is expected to be very busy on this Friday evening pikujulat season...public holiday Saturday...tables probably fully booked..standing room only!
