The point

My mother showed me a Chinese treatment method she learned recently.  For my mouse shoulder (musarm,  Repetitive strain injury) she found a point on my upper back which caused most pain when pressed. She kept on pressing that point until the pain went away. Felt good.

A couple of days later I met my neighbour Ann-Marie in the laundry room. The lovely lady seemed not comfortable with her back as she could not have her back straight. She had worked too hard on grassclipping. We are good friends so she let me try my new learnt skill. I used my left hand to keep her stable, and used a knuckle of my right hand to find the point by her spine. I kept pressing that point until the pain released. She could stand straight directly. Magic. 

This new treatment method is focused on the original point which cause the pain. "The original point (原始点, Yuánshǐ diǎn)". http://yuanshidian.cn/

Åbo/Turku first visit

Why Åbo? For River Aura. 

The journey on the cruise boat from Stockholm was nice, but the arrival time at Åbo/Turku was a early 7 am. Bus No. 1 goes from the harbour to the city center. Luckily I found Fazer Café (at Auragatan 10) by Salutorget. Thanks for a very good breakfast in a comfortable and pleasant place.

The River Aura is the heart and soul of the city. Naturally we strolled along the river and were glad to see many interesting places and status. When the path on the eastside of the river was not accessible after ca 300 meter from the Cathedral we decided to visit Åbo univerity. I found a two nice hammocks in a little park in the university area for my mother and my friend for a sweet catnap :-)

Lyckily again we arrived the restaurant Tårget (at Linnankatu 3 A) before 3 pm and could enjoy a nice lunch buffet in a beautiful and pleasant place by the river. 

We followed the river back to the harbour without missing a 5-minutes return tour on the free city ferry Föri. The little orange ferry runs nonstop back and forth across the Aura River approximately 500 metres after the last bridge heading toward the mouth of th river.

I wish I had rented a little boat with electric motor. http://www.lanaturku.fi/?lang=en
