Greetings from Scandinavia, PÅRT ONE

Right now I am in the middle of our backpåcking trip, which is in Stockholm. When we first touch down to Copenhagen airport, we were not very impress by the interior of the airport.... Mmmm, I think worse than Perth airport. Anyway, we head straight to budget counter to check-in and continue our journey to Finland but some hiccups happen. Our flight has been delayed for almost half a day, which means we have to wait in the airport for about 6 hrs. We were shock at first because we were not inform and it will also delay our time to the accomodation which they will only hold till 6pm. We try to stay calm and with God grace, we were being compensate. €500 of travel voucher from SAS but if we want to change it to cash we will only get back half of it. Ms M and I decided to change it to cash, maybe can use it to fund our shopping.

Finally after 17 hours of flight, 6 hours of waiting and another 2 hours of flight, we are officially starting our life as a backpacker for 25days. We didnt really have a hard time to find our accomodation in Helsinki but it was very very cold and dun feel like summer at all. For the next 3 dåys in Helsinki were raining. It has a liitle of Russian and Swedish influncences cos this city is near both countries. The shops was not open most of the time and we do nothing but chill and food. The street is almost like dead town but still I believe it is a beautiful city. The place that we were staying aint that great but they do serve breakfast for free. It is like an very old and antik building and even when you walk along the corridor it will make alot of squeaking sound.

After staying for 3 days I am very happy to be out of this cold, wet and dead city.... The next stop is Turku, Finland oldest town. We stayed there for 3 nights and it was a very relax place. People are always walking along the street, smiling. Compared with Helsinki, I love Turku better....
