Legendary Belgian chocolate CAFE~TASSE ❤︎ MINI TABLETTES / MINI BARS

Hello, everyone. :)   How did you spend your Valentine's Day?
Speaking of chocolate, Belgian chocolate is so special to me!

 

CAFE~TASSE   MINI TABLETTES / MINI BARS

It reminds me of a small soap provided as one of the amenities when I stayed at the hotel.
I am more of a chocolate bar lover than round one bite chocolate.

CAFE~TASSE means "coffee cup" in French.

An authentic piece of chocolate to accompany your everyday coffee.

Kraft paper wrapping is very hot with a classic design, isn't it!?

Artisanal chocolate made in the pure Belgian tradition from a nature-friendly material.

Which one should I taste this time?  It's a pleasant time.  My life is enriched by small chocolate bars.

I recommend CAFE~TASSE MINI TABLETTE / MINI BARS http://cafe-tasse.com to everyone.
It is a special premium chocolate for me❤︎

Happy Valentine's Day!

In Helsinki at dusk, I hung around looking for S-Kioski.

I should've bought my travel card in Helsinki Vantaa International Airport before coming to Helsinki Central Station by Ring Rail Line!

I thought I could get it easily because the Day Ticket is to use in Helsinki. It is a convenient ticket you can ride a tram(streetcar), subway, bus, public ferry by that. I was going to buy a 3-day ticket.

But, I missed going to R-Kioski at the Helsinki Central Station.

I took a rest for a while at the hotel St.George, and then asked a hotel clerk where I could get a Day Ticket. He kindly brought a map and circled some possible places by pencil.

I expected the shop I could explain what I wanted to a salesclerk, but shops must have been closed as it's already around 7 o'clock in the evening. I just found a dark shop without light, I didn't even know that was R-Koski or not. Later I found a vending machine perhaps for a certain ticket, but I didn't understand what it really was.

Helsingin Tumoiokirekko (Helsinki Cathedral).
It is located almost in the center of Helsinki and described a symbol of Helsinki.

I gave up buying my Day Ticket tonight and started looking around the area near my hotel.

Elongate windows. I think it is a noticeable feature of the buildings or houses in Helsinki.

Indeed, a city of Helsinki gives me a feel as if I were walking the streets surround by castles in medieval Europe.

I will get my Day Card tomorrow morning. I saw a vending machine at the station platform of Helsinki Central Station. Time is counted from the purchase time, so I should buy it shortly before I ride a tram for the first time tomorrow.

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
