This is my answer to topic: ”where were you at 80’s”.
https://mrssuvi.com/2017
I was born when Urho Kekkonen was still Finlands president which makes me feel so old (he was the president 1956-1982). At the end of his term he came down with dementia and was eventully very sick. His follower was Mauno Koivisto.
For them who don’t remember…
The 80’s was the time when children still played outside and played board games too cause computers was so new and was not so usual (specially in early 80’s). Girls played with Barbie dolls too which was a totally own world (we didn’t have a virtual world like sims or something like that). Also people still wrote letters and posted cards for the same reason. I too had a lot of pen pals (specially in 90’s). I loved to get (long) letters and write those too.
No one did have cell phones eather. We only had one landline at home.
The biggest thing I still lively remember from the 80’s is the Chernobyl disaster (1986) even I hadn’t quite turned 6 years by then. I still remember how mom talked of it to dad even I didn’t understand how serious it was.
