Invited by two friends who are putting on a show today, I headed to Pispala. After a 20-minute bus ride, I arrived in the west part of Tampere. It was quiet and dark. There were only a few street lights and none of those four, five story apartments that are commonly seen in the center. Instead, I saw hills, narrow roads, wooden houses, and lots of trees.
Pispala has long been known as a district where people try to live in a less conformist way, maybe alternatively as some say, but in the end the core idea the community shares seems to be living freely and happily, whatever way one wants. |
