The Burger Quest
Things started when my wife mentioned she would like a cheese burger. My son happened to overhear, and of course he also wanted a burger after that.
So I set out to get takeway burgers from nearby hamburger place. It was Sunday night and to my annoyance they had closed just 10 minutes earlier.
I drove around in Mäntsälä - Shell, Juustoportti, R-Kioski, looking just for a simple plastic-wrapped prepared burger. Sure, all the places had a burger menu, but my budget was only seven euros while they wanted 15-20 euros.
Eventually, after wandering around with the car for 45 minutes or so and feeling totally frustrated, I remembered that there is a kiosk called Maja ("the Hut") in Mäntsälä. And of course they had just what I was looking for!
Another lesson for me.. if I want 24-hour service I should probably move to some bigger city..

Just a note for the record, I have mentioned earlier there is a gas station with a small shop that is open 24 hours a day (near the south side highway entrance to Mäntsälä). I decided to have this small adventure to see what other places had to offer, as the gas station was approx 15 km to the opposite way from Juustoportti.
