We're heading back to Berlin tomorrow. Thanks Helsinki for your friendliness! We had an awesome time! I'm sure we'll be back again . . .

Honest

Still in Helsinki!

Helsinki Day 3: Kallio Flea Market

Day 3! Remember the comic about the day the bunny came home? The bunny teapot artist Jan's work is available at Saila's wonderful porcelain-and-ice-cream stand in front of the shop Made in Kallio in Kallio, Helsinki. Definitely worth a visit!

Helsinki Day 2: City Centre

Another scribbly update from Helsinki!

Helsinki: First Impressions

Moi! We've finally got Internet connection at our place in Helsinki so here are some scribbles from my first impressions of the city yesterday. Hello from the sunny and beautiful design (and Moomin!) capital of the world! (I'm seriously going nuts from the adorableness and have to stop myself from buying everything. So Japanese, I know!)

Moomin

The Moomins are the characters in an awesome series of comics written/illustrated by Finnish artist Tove Jansson. At some point in the 80s (I think), a Japanese company made an animated series based on the Moomins, which led to their explosive popularity in Japan...so random! I also wrote a bit about them in this entry from nearly 3 years ago.
