So next week sunday I'm going to Finland for 2 weeks.
I'll stay about 10 days in Ypäjä, but my gf is going to be busy with work/school during day.
Now, what I'd like to know if there is anything to do around Ypäjä and what not
Thanks in advance !

Ypäjä...what to do?

if you are interested in horses, then you might like ypäjä!
you also might visit humppila (there are some outletstores) and loimaa (nearest town).
I've been every summer during my youth there - I know how
relaxing ypäjä is...

I'm going to stay at my Gf's school (hevosopisto), so the chances of seeing horses are pretty big
I'm more interested in computers, my gf is the horses person
I'll be in Espoo first for a few days, then we'll go to ypäjä cause she has class.
Thanks for the info !! I'll check out humppila and loimaa then

Well, move here, face the reality (sitting unemployed in some Nowheremäki 8 months counting trees) and I think you might then have an insight into the issue.
So you're going to pass by the Alko then, eh?
Dunno, borrow skis and go to the forest.

Hahaha

You remind me of an American living in Japan on another forum. He's great with sarcasm. You're not his twin brother, are you ?
Well, I'll just have to find something to do in nowheremäki...

But please don't bring any Limburger cheese with you to Finland, eh... Ypäjä is only 140 kilometres from Helsinki, and if the wind's in the wrong direction...

@sammy : I don't eat cheese, unless it's molten!
@littlefrank : I think she prefers the real deal

I'm starting to believe I really ended up in the middle of nowhere! 3 tv channels, everywhere fields, horses, stables and more horses...
I think these are going to be 2 tough weeks!!
If somebody feels bored and lives close to ypäjä, you can always give me a ring or pm !
