Observations of Helsinki

The roads are wide and clean, there are hundreds of cafes, if feels safe at night, many streets are cobbled but none are straight. The train station is a very grand building that is being worked on and the tickets are not difficult to buy. The market square is busy and sells all kinds of things. Some examples are hats, felt, reindeer rugs, scarfs, glass, jewllery, puppets and balaclavas. The produce is bought by the litre and the peas and strawberrys are delicious and juicy. There is lots of water and it is pretty in the sun. The buskers are mainly classical and the cycle paths are on the street not the road. The local beer is nice.
