Helsinki, April 17th
Sunday
has been such a sunny day here in Helsinki that Italians could barely
believe they were in Finland. Scarves and warm clothes were replaced by
sun glasses and big happy smiles.
It is 9.30
and after a good night of sleep our group has tatuerei in front of
Kiasma, Helsinki Contemporary Art Museum. The air is fresh and clear and
after waiting for the last ones to arrive, the group enters the museum
and starts the visit. The most impressive and fun rooms are:
- a room with nets hanging from the ceiling and filled with plastic balls! It has been great fun to sit on them and rest!
- a room filled with plastic and coloured jewellery hanging from the ceiling.
The
group is now satisfied with the visit but the day has just started! The
program is to visit a church built inside a rock, the city center and a
beautiful Orthodox Church with golden steeples. Walking is pleasant
IN the sun, Finnish and Italian students talk together chummily.
It is 7 pm and
the bbq has already been set for us by Emma and her friends.
The feeling is to be among old friends playing billiard, eating snacks
and Finnish delicious chocolate. Time flows quickly and it is already 11 pm when,
led by our lovely "tour guide" Marissa, the group catches the tram to
go to the city center of Helsinki and enjoy a walk in the streets full
of light.
