Accident

A very bad accident this morning beside Pasila train station. Not sure if anyone was hurt. The red van was only towed away at 5pm. Here's the state of that van.

Pasila's Outdoor Gallery 2

This is the second piece that she was working on. I got to speak to her and she told me that it takes her about 12hours to complete one piece.

I've been in school the whole day doing my programming project that I haven't had any time to go places.
This office building is located opposite my school. My friend thinks it is an interesting building so that I'll post it here.

Time to sit outside!

Restaurants and bars have started to have their terraces open for customers. Restaurant RataKivi offers breakfast and lunch buffets at reasonable prices. Lunch buffet is from 1030 to 1400 for 8.20€. It has a good selection of tasty food.
