Suomenlinna

It snowed today! Finally.. I woke up and saw the ground filled with ice... So cooL!!! When I walked out of my hostel to meet daryl and meiqing in helsinki city, i had my very first experience with SNOW!!! It was really really pretty, and the feeling of ice falling on u.. its so fuN! Its so different from rain. It was snowing quite heavily... took a photo of my own scarf while walking.


And this is the place where I stay.. this building.


Oh and i wrote my name on the snow for fun! this is the train station (kannelmaki). My "hometown" in Helsinki!

Today the 3 of us went to Suomenlinen, the sea fortress that is built on islands just off the coast of Helsinki (national monument) and one of Finland's cultural treasures. (copied frm the brouchure). Its very pretty there.. we took alot of photos. It has museums, restaurants etc, but we didnt visit those places. We took photos outside and luckily because of the snow today, the photos we took were nice, i believe. :) The place can be reached by taking a ferry near the helsinki city.

can see me? im at the back...


this is the frozen "lake" that we found.

This is daryl trying to create fake snow from the sky for me.

Oh ya... we witnessed some weird rally. ha.. then got a few police cars surrounding it. Nothing interesting, but something that i dont get to see in singapore. Hmm.. and we also saw some marching. But dunno which country's one. Nvm if u dont understand me.. cause i dont know what i saw too. hahaha...

Btw, i will be wearing the same jacket all the time, so i would seem to be in the same clothes everyday... haha.

More pics?
