2024/03/08 Jyväskylä, Finland: nature, building P-Paraati, Kauppakatu & flea markets

Описание: 00:00 the entire day was cloudy and the temperature between -5 and -1C
00:03 in this stage of the city's major investment (the under-construction four-level parking garage named P-Paraati), concrete mixer trucks were used to erect concrete walls
01:40 flea market “Kilpisen Kirppis” (under a new name) will be at last reopened next week
02:04 Navalny street memorial
02:13 Forum - now that all the roof work has finished
02:22 P-Paraati again - just around 6PM
03:50 in steet Asemakatu, starting to ride towards town center “Compass”
04:58 shooting at Compass in all major directions
06:10 again riding the same route in Asemakatu upwards
07:21 this time, I didn’t stop at Compass but rode on in Kauppakatu towards the East
09:15 arrived at Kolmikulma; continuing towards Puistokatu
10:55 arrived at Puistokatu; riding well past the cemetery. As you can see, the bike road (too) was extremely icy / slippery so I decided not to keep shooting as I needed both hand to properly steer the bike to avoid falling. Hence the lack of shots of church Taulumäki at the top of the slope.
14:22 (flea market part starts here) REALLY overpriced PS3 games
14:29 The Filipino Martial Arts as Taught by Dan Inosanto for 2eur only. Taken into account this book is an out of print collectors item easily commanding over 150 USD, the 2eur the seller asks for is a STEAL.
15:02 a book “I’m Lordi” on the (in?)famous Finnish band Lordi
15:47 Finnish painting
16:00 Doom 3 small box edition for 7eur. The small box edition of this game is pretty common (unlike the big box one, see https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic... ) and isn’t particularly valuable so I couldn’t bother either.
16:18 Warcraft III PC/Mac, with manual, for 5eur
16:31 Diablo III, small box, 5eur
16:38 the 1997 game (for the PC, not for the Mac!) Dark Corona Pegasus, a 2D vertical scrolling shoot 'em up (see https://www.mobygames.com/game/66193/... ). Not that rare.
16:46 almost all the games you see are 5eur
16:58 …including Cyberpunk 2077 for the XBONE; too bad it lacked all the goodies except for the map
17:13 the Finnish+Swedish version of Super Mario Galaxy for the Wii was also 5eur (VERY cheap); instabuy
17:30 and so was Scarlett Johansson’s (that is, the 2017 film, not the original 1995 anime! See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_i...) ) Ghost in the Shell 4k UHD 2-disc set, w/ the discs in excellent condition. Instabuy
17:52 The same seller also had Final Fantasy XV - Deluxe Edition for the XBONE, but with one of the discs missing. Nevertheless, I think it was still well worth the 5eur I paid for it.
18:15 LPs
18:57 music videos
20:05 decorative plates
20:26 the Finnish version of the manga Gunnm (1, 3, 4, 5), for 4eur each
20:39 LPs
20:55 an LP of the Finnish melo-death band “Diablo”: When all the rivers are silent. Not bad; you definitely want to give them a try: YT Music link:    • Album - When All the Rivers Are Silent   . Review (Finnish): https://kaaoszine.fi/yhtye-joka-hengi... ; Gemini’s English translation (if you copy/paste the text there) is excellent. The reviewer is impressed with this album, particularly praising the return of strong melodies and a fresh overall sound, while still acknowledging the band's identity.
21:31 English version of manga Vagabond, 1, 2, 3, 4, 25; 4eur each
22:00 a rare (and accordingly priced: 15eur) KOFF beercan with (Finnish-language) stories on Koff’s history. This is part 7 (of 10) disussing Finland’s prohibition, which was in effect from 1919 to 1932 and was a highly controversial measure.
22:20 Easter postcards
22:33 Finnish Kalevala jewelry
22:37 paintings
23:01 Finnish glasses
23:05 receipts for the Ghost in the Shell / Super Mario Galaxy / Final Fantasy XV DE
23:10 genuine drawing for cheap (Italian?)
23:27 the contents of Diablo 3
23:36 the contents of Witcher 3 (XBONE) - fully lacks everything :(
23:51 Sid Meier's Pirates! [Live the life] (remake of the original 1987 game)
24:02 old tray; origin unknown
24:09 metal CDs
24:20 (Finnish) Moomin pics
