Beerfloating 2007

[JAL]

I got back from the annual Beerfloating event here in Finland.

My first time participating. Basically the idea is to float ~5km down the river

on random boats and rafts and at the same time drink beer.

The event has grown every year and this time around 400 people

floated down the river.

It was AWESOME. I'm going there next year for sure.

So yeah here's a few pictures.

Me and my buddy before the floating began.

Beginning the journey downstream.

Finally after arriving in the goal we drink our last beers

8 hours and a lot of beer later...

Beer + Water + Finns

Sounds like a mass suicide to me.

[⌐■_■]

Looks like alot of fun!

A friend of mine went to Finnland not too long ago. He was impressed by the drinking capabillities of the Finns while he himself is a good drinker. I guess that says enough!

I think all scandinavians are famous for their drinking efforts...

Must be because our countries are so shittily cold

From Germany, the cheap airlines will cost you around 100€ I think.

And noes that's not my friend. My friend plays the guitar though.
