Day 71 – Finland

I ate breakfast for free in the school cafeteria in Lehtimäki, Finland. Hmm, maybe I fit in with all the other mentally ill kids there, or at least what my mom would say! I took the bus at 9AM back to Seinäjoki and then a train to Tampere, Finland. Tampere is the second largest city in the country. It has been raining most of the day, so not the greatest for being outside. Also I read that there is an old, huge, public sauna in this city. But it is only open 4 days per week, and today is not one of them. I did try taking some candid photos of people on the street for a bit.

One nice thing about Finland is wireless hot-spots. Wi-Fi is in every major city I’ve visited; it hasn’t been a problem to find a free wireless signal. Finland is the best country I’ve seen for public Wi-Fi. On a related note, my computer model has been discontinued. So three months old and you cannot order a new one like it anymore.

I am nearing the end of my Europe trip. Tonight at 10:55PM I am taking Ryanair, a budget airline from Tampere, Finland to London, England. Then I am going to try to sleep in Stansted airport upon arriving in London. Then at 7AM or so I’ll take a bus to the center of London and spend the day there. Then I have another flight at 8:40PM from Gatwick airport to Hong Kong, hence starting Phase II.
