It always strikes me by a surprise how people here want to believe in everything they would like to hear. David Beckham said about Turku about like this, " Turku is a wonderful city and people are nice, I definitely want to come back."
Yeah, right.
Do not get me wrong, I have nothing against Becks. Only people and the media sometimes get under my skin.
"First we have the Finns. I always thought Finns were European enough to think of Beckham first and foremost as a footballer and not the sixth Spice Girl. How wrong could I go. As Beckham’s approximated time of arrival on Monday drew nearer, a good bunch of people gathered near the entrance of the private hospital where Becks was to be treated. In the hope of what I do not know.".
