HELSINKI-FINLAND 1997

The population in Helsinki is very little compare with another European countries,the transportation system is good,the people followed the traffic regulation and don’t want to breach the law.

I remember one night about 01:00 hours I looked out from the hotel window,the rain pouring outside,the traffic light is still working,the traffic is very lonely but the people waited for the green light to cross the road it doesn’t matter the bad weather.

We stayed at Sokos Vakuna Hotel at Asema-aukio 2, 00100 Helsinki. For your information most of the shops close at 17:00 p.m. from Monday to Friday, and close all days on Saturday and Sunday, so don’t plan to go shopping on Sunday.One day we were invited to have lunch at a good restaurant in the country side , the name of the restaurant is Katajanokan Kasino.

In Helsinki there were Sunday market near the small harbour, you can buy variety of souvenirs, variety of foods, variety of fresh fruits and the price are fair and reasonable.
