Saturday morning in the wee hours of the morning, we went to the airport to fly to Helsinki. It was the first time my niece would fly and we were a bit worried if she would have her mothers ears. If she did, then she probably would not like to fly ever again. She was really exited about flying as she had heard so much of it. To cut the long story shorter, I am happy to say that there were no problems while flying. She did get a bit uncomfy but okey as soon as we reminded her how to deal with the ear pressure. Also she was able to eat candy while in the air.
Then we went to the (at the moment) only Starbucks in Finland (which is at the airport Helsinki-Vantaa) and got some breakfast. My niece then rested a bit as we had woken up really early and there were no place for us to stay or visit during the day. This is why we had planned that we would be going to the movie theater, so we all would have some time to sit and rest. But back to the business. From airport we took a bus to the city center, which was a nice journey for my niece as well.
First we took my luggages to the central bus station for holding and then we went to see if there was any movies going on. We were in luck, and we went to see Niko 2. Before the movie started we went to check out the Helsinki Museum. It was really lovely. After the movie we went to eat some lunch at Scanburger. I would like to give an advice to everyone who is planning on visiting Finland. Do not eat at Scan burger the food is not great. It is really bad!
Then we went to Ateneum. In Ateneum we viewed many paintings by many painters. It was awesome really, but I don't know what to write about the paintings. We did not spend so much time looking at them as it was my niece's first time there. But she liked it very much. After the Ateneum we went to Fazer cafe in Forum. That experience was not as nice as we thought it would be. Forum was in middle of renovation so there was not so much room and there were a lot of people there at the same time.
Oh, and while we were there we saw Chinese new year celebrations. My sister told me that they were able to see the fireworks, which I missed as I left to Turku almost an hour earlier than they left. But during the day we saw and heard the celebrations go on. What else. Well that is basically the whole day, when we were in Helsinki. I went to Turku with bus (9 euros, offer from online).
When I arrived to Turku my aunt had asked a friend of theirs to help me with my luggages. I have two luggages that are _heavy_. I have now within this few days been baking and playing board games. This is because my boss has been sick, and my aunt was taking care of "their son" by her self. So I was helping out there. All I am going to say is that wow my nieces and nephews are well behaving children...
