Theme Day: Yellow
Yellow theme day today happens to coincide with the start of the annual Crazy Days (Hullut Päivät) sales by Stockmann. I haven't had the chance to go to the sales today.Everyday till the 4th, the store has different items on sales. During this time, you can see people carrying a number of big yellow shopping bags. Maybe I'll try to bring you a shot of that tomorrow. Click on the link below to follow the other blogs with the yellow theme.

Helsinki Ink
Helsinki Ink tattoo show was held this weekend. These posters were drawn by 3 tattoo artists and were being auctioned. Biddings started from 20€. I'm not sure how much they were sold for in the end.

Background
Trying to get back to daily blogging. But somehow, I don't seem to find anything interesting to post. I wonder if it is because I'm at work 8hrs a day. Well, this is taken from my workplace. The 'background' for my desktop.
I hope to see a new post tomorrow.. :)

Cafe Esplanad
Yesterday, I was at Cafe Esplanad in Helsinki. The cafe is famous for its huge korvapuusti (Cinnamon Roll) It costs 2.80 euro and was very filling.
The cafe also has wifi service provided by welho. It costs 1 euro to get connected for an hour. The service was easy and convenient to use. Just purchase the time by sending a sms.

Back to School!
This is Pasila, Helsinki. Back to school. Nothing much has changed. Well the cost of lunch has gone up again, from 1.05euro to 1.35. It seems to be going up every semester. It was just 0.90euro 2 years ago when I first started.

I'm BACK!
Back home after a 6 month exchange program in Beijing. This is the view outside my bedroom window this morning. I arrived yesterday and am disappointed that there is not more snow. Good to be back though...
