helsinki

morning..soo slack but it's gd leh..like chalet..i like to feel that i've all the time in the world.yup so borrowed VS to call everyone back home. nice to hear their voices!

took bus to helsinki, met up with their fren, marika then grab hesburger for lunch up the boat to suomenlina. amazing to see the boat cruising thru the broken ice on water! yea the city is proud to haf 7 icebreakers on sea which allow ships to cruise.

not too bad a sea fortress but the first building that greeted us was pink. abit weird. think it'll be nicer in spring or summer when there's greenery. then it'll be a perfect place for picnic liao. but anyway winter time just an experience lor. it's really super quiet..cant believe there are residents there. i cant remember how many liao..was it 2000? took pics with all the canons up on the cliffs, overlooking the frozen sea. so many pple carved words and signed off on the ice. mervyn also went down to carve his super off shaped M..still need us to guide lor..and happily demanded the photo to be taken fast cos he very cold. who ask him sit on ice? next :to the king's gate. not much time also since marika has to leave early. k back to helsinki and lucky they got bring me ard the city area, market and church. then we went to the stadium and waste 2 eur ea up the tower. really good money lor..just build something high up so u can get to see the view of the whole city and earn $$. rushed back their accoms and got ready for the night train to tampere where we'll meet the gals be4 heading to rovaniemi.
