Helsinki Trip


I came here several times but didn't have enough time for travel around the city so I decided spend one day here. First destination after 2 hours on bus is the Central Railway near kamppi. It's one of the most beautiful station I visited. It's the ancient architecture located in the middle of the modern capital. Next is the White Cathedral with a unique construction I've seen on many movies.

And the next amazing place is Fazer cafe - a famous brand of chocolate in Finland. There is nothing better than a combination of a cup of hot chocolate and a strawberry cake and enjoy the beautiful of the city at night.

Acctually, I have a great dinner in Vapiano restaurant - an Italy pasta restaurant. It's so amazing, you can order your meal and see how they make it. I'm too hungry as I have to wait 45 minutes for my meal. So I forgot to take a photo 😆😆, but it's really nice. You should try once when you visit Helsinki.

Oras Swan Ship Race One of the best things that makes the beauty of Turku the Aura river, which flow across the city center. Thanks to that, in summer most of activities are organized near the river. One of interesting event in summer is the Oras Swan ship race. Many ship crew across the country and also from other nations as well gather at Turku to join the race, which creating a very uproarious scene. Though I could not watch the race because it happened offshore, the event created bustle atmosphere for the summer.

Juhannus – the heart of Finnish summer What is Juhannus? It the longest day of year where in some part of Finland, the sun never sleep. It is the midsummer by the normal name. the Juhannus holiday usually last for 3 days. Sometime, I ask myself that why Finns have so much holiday during a year?! As I used to explain in other post, winter in Finland is quite long so they love the summer so much. At Juhannus, Finns do not stay at home, but the street is also empty. Where are they? The answer is mökki! This is another Finnish tradition. At Juhannus, they usually travel with their family to a mökki – a cottage in the forest or camping station which near a lake or river. They play, relax and enjoy the summer and leave their normal day jobs behind.

Nordic night sky One special feature of Finland that the sky is most clear during the night, a perfect prerequisite for star gazing. When I was in Vietnam, hardly when I had a chance to enjoy the clear blue sky with full of star due to light pollution and cloudy sky. But one constrain I got here is the cold weather. If you can to take a walk at night, you should take care of your body temperature. In summer, it is not cold but the sun is just set for 3 hours so the sky is not totally dark. However, it would be rewarding prize if you leave the coldness behind. Due to geographic position, you may always see the Ursa Major constellation at the top of the sky. Besides, you also enjoy thousands of stars sparkling in the Nordic sky. there is not many  good times to enjoy the night sky, so prepare yourself and choose a good place, good time to enjoy the  gorgeous Nordic night sky.
