Helsinki Photos

I thought I had a class this afternoon, but it turns out that it doesn't start until Thursday, so I have a little extra time this afternoon to update. Here are a couple photos I took while I was in Helsinki. I put my stuff in a luggage locker and walked around the city for a couple hours.

This is the Finnish parliament building, which some of you may remember from a certain Youtube video.

And when I saw this, I instantly thought of Mary, my favorite McDonald's scholar. You might be shocked to learn that McDonald's isn't very popular in Finland because of a local chain called Hesburger. I haven't been there yet, but they are all over Turku.

This is the National Museum of Finland, which still has bullet holes in one of its windows and doors from the Russians. I spent about an hour here. It's a pretty nice museum, but I should have gone to the Helsinki City Museum, which was free. Unfortunately, I didn't see it until I had already gone to the National Museum.
