Daryl and I had an early dinner, which was really GOOD! We ate at a Finnish restaurant for the first time here... First really good meal in Finland! The serving wasn't big, but it was really tasty.
we ordered the Filetto de Renna - reindeer meat! and the last one in the middle, some white fish with creamy pasta. Yumz
There was a candle on each table, and they served us the bread with some crazy tasting grapes which i didn't like. The ambience was good...The reindeer meat was fantastic of course, and the pasta with the fish was special.
Then the celebration for Vappu~ its 30april (vappu eve) and Finnish people all came out to Helsinki centre to celebrate... Look at the huge crowd, i have never seen so many finnish people together since i came here. There were many people selling and carryin balloons, lots of people dressed up funnily and of course the university gang wearing their overalls.
They cleaned the statue... and gave it a hat ("capping of Manta"). Its a tradition.
This is a goodie for the Vappu day. It is supposed to be like bread, but it tasted like you know the very crispy skin of those fried stuff.
I didn't buy the overalls from my department. Each department in tkk has a different colour and pattern for the overalls. Many people wore it today and if u noticed from the pics, everyone of my friends bought except me. Haha.. just being practical cause we wouldn't need it in future... just for keepsakes so i didn't buy. But i tried it on! and took a photo of it. Blurred one unfortunately...
