No I am not quoting Paula Abdul's '80s hit Opposite's Attract, but rather quoting from the anecdote about the frog trying to climb out of the well. It's in reference to how arduous a task it is for the frog to climb out by needing to take two steps forward and one step back. The focus is not the difficulty of the climb, but the fact that he is all the time progressing forward. Much like my efforts for the upcoming Ravintolpäivä.

Almost immediately upon my arrival to Finland, I began craving the foods that I was accustomed to eat on a regular basis back in New York. This is in no way a complaint about the foods available in Finland, but more of a common problem faced by most non-natives living in foreign lands. I am sure I am not the only American to scour the streets of Helsinki looking for a decent pizza or sandwich shop that would satisfy my homeward cravings. If I ever find one, I'll let you know.
