Helsinki!

Am in Helsinki! spent the day hunting Alvar Aalto architecture, and went to see Steven Holl´s Kiasma museum. *probably means nothing to the non-archi students, but hey it was really educational!*
So many new things...reindeer sausage, funny public toilet, tram rides, beautiful brick buildings..
Oh there was thsi church called Tempellaukio that is carved into a granite plane..that one is really a unique space..

Am staying in a 12 beds female dorm room and the cool thing is all of them except 2 are lone women travellers. Granted, I´m the puniest and the only Asian..but well...one´s gotta start somewhere...

Plus, the position of the hostel is just beside the Finnish National stadium and since this is summer lotsa Finnish guys are practicing soccer...Not that I like soccer...but I don´t mind watching Finns..hahahah...

Will be here till 3 Aug then going back to Stockholm.

Happy!
