Quick Note: All my photos from Helsinki are up on the photo site. Link is on the right.
So I took a ferry from Tallinn to Helsinki (I missed the first scheduled ferry because no body was at the front desk so I couldn't check out). The ferry was really nice - I was expecting something a lot smaller, but it had a huge indoor place and bar and outdoor area to sit.
When I finally got into Helsinki, it was around 6pm and I was exhausted. I decided just to stroll around downtown and find a good place to eat. I found a place, it was ok - but I decided to see Superman Returns that night too. 10€ for a movie? Steep, especially for a movie like that. Some parts were good, other parts were quite bad. So I went to bed after that, and the next day I woke up early (like 10am) to go see Helsinki. What do you know, its raining again, just like in Tallinn. So I walk around town and see Senate Square, and I see some other stuff that we visited the last time we went. I was supposed to meet my Finnish buddies Janne and Teemu later that day, but it was really bad weather and I had hours and hours of time. So I went back to the movie theatre and saw Miami Vice. Was also a good movie, but dragged in the middle. So I met up later with the Finns and we decided to go to some place and get some food... Finland has this McDonald's of their own called Hessburger. It actually isn't that bad. The first one I had had so much mayo that it could barely been eaten. The fries had no salt. Oh well... Then we went on the tram in Helsinki and drove it around to see other parts of the town (the weather was better by then). We went to an amusement park where we rode a wooden rollercoaster from 1951 (scary), but haha... it was better than I thought it was (from the way Teemu was yelling, he did too). After that we went out to a few bars that were serving 1€ beers and it seemed like anyone who was 18 was there. Teemu helped me by a ticket for Tampere for the next day, and that was that.
