Got out of Ring Rail Line.
Looking back, people were walking to Helsingin rautatieasema (Helsinki Central Station).
The building over there must be the Helsinki station building. However, I didn't recognized it then. I don't know why, but I went out of the platform directly to the city road instead of walking into the station. It was a surprise, we don't need to go through the station to go out to the city.
Later, it became a reason I missed R-kioski where I can buy my day ticket (IC card for the transportation in Helsinki). In the station, truly there are shops to the point for travelers like me.
I had a map, but I was not sure and I relied on my hunch as to which direction I should go first to reach my hotel.
It looks like a station plaza.
It started to sprinkle a little bit... Unfortunate, when I'm with my suitcase... But it didn't get harder.
I sat at the bench in the park, and looked around to try to orient myself in the city, comparing each building with the map page of my guide book.
I can't believe it, I am really in Finland, the first Scandinavia for me. Oh I really came!
Then, I managed to walk towards Stockmann (department store) somehow with a map by my side.
It was a gorgeous street! And brilliant fruits caught my eyes. I bought various fruits in one plastic case. Sweet! I can eat fresh fruits at the hotel🎶
I'm in Northern Europe. What kind of experience is waiting for me? I am so thrilled.
