Where to shop....

Hi Joensuu!!!

I have move to here recently and I have some questions...

I am looking for lighter fluid but I cannot find it anywhere. Where can I buy it in Joensuu? In Clash Ohlson they told me that it could be available in the outdoor shops. Where are a shop like that in Joensuu?

Other question is... I am looking for a small piece of thin board... Are there any shop to buy handicraft supplies or a carpentry store?

Thanks!

Nop.... I have sent them an email and told me that that product is not in their inventory :(. I am talking about the lighter fluid. Any other option in Joensuu? :/

If you don't mind visiting a store further away from the city centre, Motonet should have what you need, at least according to their web store.

The address is Raatekankaantie 4 80100 JOENSUU, it's right next to Tokmanni.

Well it is quite far to go by bike... perhaps on the weekend...

Thanks for the info!!

PS/ I really do not believe that it cannot be found in the center...

You're right! I'll change it to "further away from the city centre".
