So, me and another brony I know decided to go and explore an abandoned house near Helsinki. We met up in a shopping centre in Espoo (Just outside Helsinki), he went to buy some booze and I decided to buy energy drink and orange juice. And then, after a 20 minute trip on a bus, we arrived at the spot. A light yellow medium-large 2-story house, the nearest inhabited building was 40 metres away, so noise wasn't a problem.

I couldn't fit through a broken window, so I climbed the ladder to the small balcony and went in through the partly open door, the balcony was filled with snow so I could barely squeeze myself in. The house on the inside was in pretty good shape, the blankets and pillows on the bed as if they had left yesterday. The calendars were showing March of 1996, so it had been empty for quite a long time. We went downstairs and sat on a couple of armchairs. I put the bottle and juice on a table, and went to find a glass, cleaned it with some pure snow and started drinking the Campari. Oh god, it tasted like cough medicine so I had to mix 2/3 of orange juice in it. It was now barely drinkable, I poured some for this other guy, he mixed it with Mountain Dew. Oh man, you should've seen the look on his face. It was a 75cl bottle of 21% stuff, so I ended up a bit buzzed before I could finish the bottle. So, I poured the rest in the glass and drank it raw. 0/5. Wouldn't recommend.

So, then we went to the nearby store, he bought some beer for himself, and then we went back to the house. I was pretty drunk, so I had a bit of trouble navigating to the ladder in the 2-feet snow. So, following my usual habit I laid on the bed, listening to ambient and trippin' like hell. We were hungry so we went to another store, buying potato crisps and Pall Mall Green cigs (I have that nearly full pack still in my room ) and I smoked a couple and then went to a closet in the attic, sleeping on some matresses and using my peacoat as a blanket.

Then, Finland happened. -20 celsius outside, so we burned some cardboard boxes in the fireplace, with newspapers, paper and some wood. Apparently the chimney wasn't working, so the whole first floor started to fill with smoke. My eyes started to get irritated, and we had to get out of there. Turns out I forgot my gloves downstairs, and I had to go back for them. I could barely see there, the fire had extinguished somehow and fighting my instinct, I got my gloves and ran upstairs, blind and coughing loudly. Finally, fresh air. I took a pic of the place with my smartphone, but I can't find it ATM.

So, we decided to leave and he went home, I took a train back to Helsinki and went home too.

Epic, 5/5 day. Maybe we'll get a brony meetup going in there someday in the summer.
