Always a pleasure to go to #Mathildedal for the annual #aikido weapons seminar, courtesy of Petteri #Silenius (7th Dan). Sadly only one practise for me this weekend as so many things going on. But it’s also a lovely, picturesque village for a day trip with a couple nice restaurants and cafes, their own brewery, a tidy wee harbour and quality bakery.

This reminds me of the #Village of #Mathildedal in #Salo, #Finland which is called the most hipsterish community in Finland.

Since its a small village there are no rental apartments available and the price of entry is at least 300,000 EUR in cash for a house there:

#Suomi #Matilda

After many travels around the world, #Mathildedal is one of my favourite places on this planet. And not just because of the annual outdoors #aikido seminar lead by #PetteriSilenius (7th dan) and by a lake with a wood burning sauna. Mathildedal is a beautiful rustic Finnish village by the sea, with red wood buildings, a chocolatier, a brewery, artisan pizzas, artisan ice cream, handcrafts, nature walks. A small piece of heaven on earth.
