Commuting by bike

Cuántas bicis caben en un coche

As anybody who follows me on twitter will know, I’m an avid cyclist, doing around 17 km every day. I love the fact that most of the city has bike paths even to the point that they refurbished the old railroad into a bike and pedestrian shortcut into the city with the charming name of Baana.

Even if now I’m out of the bike paths because of a knee injury, I have been really happy to be out and about whatever the weather (and in Finland you know it won’t be tropical for 99% of the year). You only need the proper equipment and you’ll be fine.

TV for a multicultural toddler

Supposedly you shouldn’t expose small children to the evils of television, but we’ve been doing that in small doses. Programmes like Plaza Sésamo, Pikku Kakkonen, Mr Bloom’s Nursery and the Numtums seem to be our son’s favourites.

He’s so active that I don’t need to worry about him “getting sucked in” as he can only concentrate in 10 minute intervals and plays a lot in the house. I just want to make sure he gets as much exposure as possible to the three languages that are the most important for him. Furthermore, I prefer these programmes than, say, Nickelodeon, as they don’t feel so annoyingly commercial.
