Travel to Helsinki. A couple of words and shots about this city.

My first impression about finnish people was pretty good. Later on it started getting much better
Well, first days Helsinki didn’t impress me much until I got to downtown. After this, I felt in love it. It is very convenient, cozy, distinctive and it is easy to get around.

Since I love biking and everything that relates to it, it was lovely to see a lot of people riding a bike and commuting. There is a mature infrastructure for this. Helsinki has more than one thousand kms of bike paths. Most of people while riding have a helmet on.

I didn’t waste my free time just sitting at home after work. I visited a lot of places. Fortunately, Helsinki has a lot of this stuff. The Government is paying a lot attention on the tourism development. You can easily get free maps, tourist guides and necessary info about anything.
Moreover I learnt some phrases like “Hyvaa Paivaa”, “Kiitos” and more. I used them when I met our finnish colleagues. Actually, they know some Russian too
Everybody speaks English in more or less extent. It’s cool. I didn’t have any difficulties with communication. Even elder people know it

I lived in the downtown area, not far from the Kamppi bus terminal and railway station. It was easy to get around from there. Most of evenings I spent walking on the city.
I stumbled across like a problem with the food in stores – I didn’t understand food titles So I had to pick some just by how it looks
