Hello & welcome to Helsinki! Well, welcome for me anyways :P After a very long flight marathon (Syd-Bangkok: 8:30 hrs; Bangkok-Heathrow: 12 hrs; being shipped from one end of Heathrow to another: 4 hrs; Heathrow-Helsinki: 2.5 hrs plus 1 hr delay; the numbness of jet-lag: head spinning) I finally arrived at Helsinki to meet up with everyone. Flight schedules actually worked out pretty well & despite the delay I was only behind the HK group for about 45 minutes. The journey to find our hotel was a bit of an adventure itself. Taking a bus from Vantaa airport we dropped ourselves off at what we thought was our hotel (our hotel is Hotel Anna so we quickly jumped off the bus when we saw the big pink sign of Anna by the side of a big plaza) but instead it was still 4 subway stations & 10 mins walk away!! Anyways, after jurling stuff out in the hotel room for a little while we struggled to find somewhere to grab a bite (it's Saturday night but most shops & eateries were closed by 6??). Stay tuned for more posts to come. (I've decided to do this blog Eurovision style. I'll give you the 'scores' after some real sightseeing)
