Somepaasto on yhdeksännen podcastin jakson aiheena. Onko kännykän räplääminen heti aamusta sun tapasi aloittaa päivä? Itse otin tiukemman linjan somen käyttööni ja yritän tietoisesti olla käyttämättä somea. 

Puolen vuoden somepaastoa viettänyt Konsta Lattu, 23, kertoo Ylen artikkelissa miten somettomuus vaikutti hänen hyvinvointiinsa ja elämäänsä. Mainitsemani Ylen artikkeli: https://yle.fi/a/74-20015066

Dear Russian language learners!

If you travel to big cities in Russia - Moscow, Saint Petersburg or my native hometown Ekaterinburg (by the way it's absolutely beautiful and clean) you will need to buy a ticket (or a token) to use it. When buying a metro ticket you will absolutely need to use Russian language. 
Piece of advice: check online what type of tickets exist at the moment, plan which one is best for you and go exploring!
