This weekend is held a World Village Festival in Helsinki - and my host is going to stand behind a table there, and she took me with her! We arrived in the capitol of Finland, Helsinki, early enough to take some photos in the very center. First you see the busstation/mall called Kamppi. It has 6 levels of which 1,5 are for long route busses and the rest are shops and restaurants etc.  It's relatively new as it was build only a few years ago.

Then there is the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma with weird statue/art on front - and the statue of Mannerheim (a former president and war marshal) with his horse. He was the president of Finland in 1944-46. Some people, including Renny Harlin (a Finnish movie director, producer etc. living in the USA), are planning on a film on Mannerheim. They have been for a few years and have to my knowledge filmed some of it too. They have had some financial issues concerning the Mannerheim movie. 

I also saw the parliament and metallic strawberries And the Central Railway Station which was built in 1860.
