Suomi - moi moi

Carmen and me arrived in Helsinki 2.5 weeks ago. We had a stopover in Berlin, which was really nice, because we went to the centre of Berlin to have some Sushi - really cheap and good!
Arrived in Helsinki we took a taxi to our new home where we will live for the next 4.5 months...The renters already waited outside the house when we arrived. They are super friendly, our hostparents for this months here. They showed us everything and the best of all; they had a big map with a loupe on the table to show us the important things we should know for the beginning.
We found the apartment on lyyra (https://www.lyyra.fi/home.php). We can consider us lucky, because we got the confirmation just one week before we arrived in Helsinki. The apartment is perfect - furnished and a lot of things for the kitchen where left by the previous tenant and we can use it!
"Our home" is situated a little bit outside Helsinki, 25min by bus or 10-15min by train to the centre. We are surrounded by trees and a few days ago we just found a nice beach at the river where Nina goes swimming sometimes in the mornings! =) There are some nice paths through a forest too.

First days we explored the city a little bit - most interesting for us were (are) the flea markets, food markets, 2nd hand shops and so on! Nice stuff - also perfect stuff for a "Schlagerparty"! Beside that the city is nice - the design district has a lot of artistic shops with unique staff and cafés with fancy food.
One fancy shop with delicious food - especially for Nina because there were a lot of coriander inside!

The food markets offer really delicate food. We couldn't believe our one's eyes - blueberries, raspberries, vegetables and look at those mushrooms - gnammi!
