After my trip to Norway for fun, I went around Europe for work over two weeks with several co-workers. My last stop was Finland. I happened to be in Finland when my hubby celebrated a very special birthday. Without me. For the second year in a row (I was also traveling for work for his birthday last year).
I asked one of my Finnish colleagues to suggest a good Finnish gift for a man and he told me about
Puukko Knives - traditional Finnish hunting knives. However, I was warned that it is bad to give someone a knife. Rather, you must ask them to pay you some small token amount in exchange for the knife. That way it is bought rather than given. Apparently to give a knife sends the message that you want them to kill themselves with it - definitely not the message I want to send!
From wikipedia: "In Finland, receiving a puukko as a gift is considered as an honor."
I had a free day in Helsinki, so I headed to the basement of
Stockman's (a big department store there) to make my purchase. I got my hubby
a beautiful knife with a waxed birch and reindeer bone handle (the "witch tooth knife") made by
Marttini. I made him give me $5 before he opened his gift. :)

puukko for my honey |
One of my co-workers, who was leaving a day early, asked me to pick up two knives for his sons. Puukko knives are apparently the knife of the Finnish boy scouts, and both of his boys were boy scouts and would think the gift was really cool. I also got them knives made by Marttini with waxed birch handles. Really beautiful knives.

If you ever find yourself in Finland, you now know what makes a great (and practical) souvenir! Just don't try to get into a hockey game while holding three in your purse - because that won't work... they check bags at the door. From
wikipedia:
"Openly carrying a puukko, while technically illegal is not vigorously enforced."

Cosmetic surgery is where a person chooses to have an operation or invasive medical procedure, to change their physical appearance for cosmetic rather than medical reasons.
ReplyDeleteNon-surgical cosmetic procedures, such as Botox and dermal fillers - typically used to relax or fill crease lines - do not involve surgery. However, there are still risks attached.
Cosmetic surgery is a unique discipline of medicine focused on enhancing appearance through surgical and medical techniques. Cosmetic surgery can be performed on all areas of the head, neck, and body. Because treated areas function properly but lack aesthetic appeal, cosmetic surgery is elective.

Leaser Hair Treatment In Amritsar
ReplyDeleteLaser therapies are medical treatments that use focused light. Unlike most light sources, light from a laser (which stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) is tuned to specific wavelengths. This allows it to be focused into powerful beams. Laser light is so intense that it can be used to shape diamonds or cut steel.
In medicine, lasers allow surgeons to work at high levels of precision by focusing on a small area, damaging less of the surrounding tissue. If you have laser therapy, you may experience less pain, swelling, and scarring than with traditional surgery. However, laser therapy can be expensive and require repeated treatments.
What is laser therapy used for?
Lasers may be useful in treating the very early stages of some cancers, including..
For cancer, laser therapy is usually used alongside other treatments, such as surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation.
