Sokos Vaakuna Helsinki

090209 Helsinki. Finland.

Viimeiset valmistelut stadissa ja Memmulla parin paivan piinaava odotus.. Lahdon ajankohta loppuun asti epaselva joten moikattiin viela kavereita ennen h-hetkea. Torstaina sitten viimein Helsinki-Vantaalle ja odottamaan jo valmiiksi myohassa olevaa lentoa. Rinkat kaytiin heittamassa Molokin kitaan ja kuukausien odotus alkoi vihdoin konkretisoitua Helsinki-Vantaan turvatarkastuksessa tullimiehen kopeloidessa "paikkoja"..

Hello!

Just a quickie tonight to say we're here! It's currently 1.33am and unsurprisingly we're both exhausted.
We arrived in Helsinki at 1pm (Fin time) and stepped into our lovely little apartment at about 3.30pm. We've already found our local supermarket (K Market = Tesco Express, only more expensive) and have stocked up on Rice Krispies and Moomin biscuits (which don't contain actual Moomins you'll be pleased to hear!).
Somewhere around 5.30pm we ...

... ve eaten ice cream as sloppily since I was a child. But it was so good and very very funny!

We also saw the Old Market Hall housing delikatessen stalls, and some restaurants and cafes. It was ok, but not something you just have to go see if you only have a short time. The Old Market Hall is at the same square (Market Square) where the open air market we went to yesterday is located. We looked at all the stalls today, buying ...

... Ainakin ois pitäny ottaa vähemmän kohteita, missä käydä. Puol vuotta ja noin paljon paikkoja on liikaa. Vuosi ois voinu olla ehkä riittävä näille kohteille ja siltikin ois varmaa jääny paljon näkemättä. Esimerkiksi Kambodzassa oltiin vaan joku viikko, mikä ei riittäny mihinkään. Muutenkin aina välillä tuntui et o hirvee kiire taas johonki ja taas pitää vaihtaa paikkaa.

Fyrkkaa ois voinu käyttää hieman fiksummin, varsinkin reissun loppupäässä. Mut edelleenkin ...

... mestari liikkumaan noilla julkisilla. Saas taas nährä mihkä sitä joutuu. Sitten vielä kotiväelle, ystäville ja sukulaisille täältä Airbus A340:stä. Pitäkää Suomi pystyssä minun puolestani... Älkääkä olko liikaa huolissanne. Pärjään kyllä. Ja jos en pärjää niin saan kyllä luvan tulla kotiin. Olen luvannut kaikille että tulen ehjänä takaisin. Ja pyrin pitämään kiinni tuosta lupauksestani kynsin ja hampain. Tony

... women in bathing suits. Soon I realized that by no shorts, they meant only speedos. Now, imaging sitting in the sun all summer with shorts down to your knees than being forced to wear a speedo. I rented one for 2 euros and as I got it, the lady at the front desk kind of smirked at me. But I shrugged it off, thinking all us guys were in the same situation. Putting those bad boys on was one serious lesson in humility. But as with anything, time ...

... nice indeed. We also had lunch/ dinner here - for 9 euros I had this huge piece of salmon and more potatoes than any human should actually consume. It was really quite tasty though - not so fancy as what we had in stockholm. We finally go to the hotel - yet another Finnish experience.... The hotel doesn't actually have anybody on staff. Very cool on my book - just don't lose your code!! It gets you into all four door ...

... her? And then the same problem on conversation - is it worse to talk about something that might be so painful or is it worse to avoid the topic, even though it is obviously passing through my head (as it is so glaring that there could be no other way)? Those problems ended up automagically disappearing (along with the housing and job problems), as when I began working for her I just had to wait for her to tell me exactly what I should do and then, as time ...

... o chapéu de estudante numa estátua, somente então as pessoas começam a usar (é por uma regra social proibido usar o chapéu de estudante antes do ritual). Nestes dias pessoas de todas as idades circulam com o chapéu na cabeça, uma forma de demonstrarTodo o efetivo policial em ...
