Vappu
We're now in Helsinki. It's been around 8-12 degrees... but it's nice to not step outside and be in an instant sweat!
Our first day here was Vappu Day Eve, which is a traditional student celebration. At 6pm they give Helsinki's most famous statue, Havis Amanda, a foam bath, and then put a student graduation hat on her...
then the serious drinking begins!
(along with a free concert on the steps of the Helsinki Cathedral)

What a cultural leap - from an embalmed "Uncle Ho" to a piss-up with a statue - you gotta love travel eh?
