Hello from Helsinki! Life is good and jet lag is officially overcome. Had a big nordic breakfast this morning complete with herring, mini sausages and ligonberries and I’m on my way to meet with my dad’s old Finnish friend from 35 years ago down in the hotel lobby. (Possible Finnish countryside madness may ensue). All in all, Helsinki is supremely awesome with alot of young folks roaming the streets in hip clothes and smart haircuts. I think they put American style to shame a bit. (ps: girls, its all about leggings). People smoke like crazy here and if you want to go to the park to escape it, you’re going to the wrong place cuz thats exactly where all the smokers be. Oy, I’m being given the stinkeye by my mom so I gotta go (Hi, I’m on vacation with my parents). More later; I promise!! Hei Hei! (goodbye in Finnish).
