!HELSINGFORS!

Last weekend, I travelled with my host family to the capital of Finland, Helsinki. We left on the Friday morning and on the way we stopped at IKEA to do some looking around and to have lunch. After IKEA we went on to Helsinki where we met up with my host brother who took us all out to a Sushi restaurant called Tokyo55. The food was delicious and I actually learnt how to use chopsticks.  On the Friday night we all stayed in hotel Sandic which is in the center of Helsinki and you could see everything from the window. It was sooo cool! :)

The Saturday I went shopping with my host mum and sister. While shopping I finally found a new pair of winter boots, which I was incredibly happy about. Also on Saturday we walked around Helsinki looking at a few touristy things. That evening we ate at a Mexican restaurant which was really good and we also stayed at my host brother's apartment. On Sunday Bea and I travelled to the centre to have breakfast and also did some more shopping. On Sunday we went to an art gallery and to Parliament house. That evening we took a train back to Vaasa, when we arrived home, we were so so tired, but I had an amazing weekend just seeing Helsinki.
