I finally reached St.George, such an elegant hotel in central Helsinki!

This... is it!!!

This is the hotel ST.GEORGE which caught my eyes and I felt "I definitely want to stay here!" when I was searching for the hotels online in Japan.

Besides being located in a central Helsinki, ST.GEORGE creates a gorgeous ambience with a feel of  Finland.

Once I reached it, I could come into there naturally and check in at the lobby smoothly. The hotel clerks were all sophisticated. How beautifully Finnish people speak English!

At my room. The glasses are "iittala"♪  I won't drink hotel's wine to save money, but let me use a wineglass to drink beer or something I will buy at a local grocery store. － Later, on this trip. :)

Playful Pepper in Michigan【photographed by Collie】

Hi❤︎  Saturday morning here in Japan. Today, I show you a unique dog that Collie's mother has.

The sofa cover's come off on the carpet.  Oh, he did it!

Look at this arch look on his face.  He is full of fun! 

Pepper is a really playful dog being loved by everyone.

Sunny day for February in Tokyo. I think about Michigan, and will start my day peacefully.

Bye for now... Rose

I can't reach my hotel in Helsinki. I got lost in Finland!

From Helsingin Rautatieasema (Helsinki Central Station), I was walking to my hotel optimistically.

It is going to be fine, Rose.  I'm already close to my hotel♪

But it occurs when I lost my concentration... I got lost!!! I should have kept my focus up to the end.

Even while I'm lost, how charming and quaint the streetscape in Helsinki is!

It might be my hotel!  I approached...and found out it's not.

In Helsinki, every building looks like a castle and it's hard to know where I am until I get familiar with the area.

Eventually, I got back to the place around Rautatientori (Station Square).
Looking closely at my map again, I orient myself in the city of Helsinki.

All right. Getting lost is also a good experience on a journey.

Let's start all over again!

Gum Ball Pink Designer Hypericum Berries

Isn't it soooo cute!?  It is not a flower, but a berry.  This tree in berries is called hypericum.

Since this plant is known for its healing properties, these lovely berries can be symbols of cheer and inspiration to someone in your life.

The flower language of hypericum berries is Protection, Clarity, and Good Health...

When I just passed by the flower shop along the street, I couldn't help buying those unique flowers, actually, berries. 

There seems to be red, green, yellow, peach, orange etc. besides pink according to the literature. 

This plant is resistant to cold and hot weather, I see, which symbolizes its flower language.  

Would you like to find your color of hypericum berries for yourself, or for someone special?
