I just came across this post on Dezeen, which, if you hadn’t seen, you NEED to. Because the next time you fly to Scandinavia, you should attempt to do so inside this MARIMEKKO PLANE. Because that is a thing that exists. Also, you can buy practically everything, which makes sense, I suppose. Anywho…enjoy.

They are mainly places where people go get extremely drunk, especially young people.

I’m glad you had fun here in Helsinki. I studied design for four years, but we never went to see Villa Mairea nor Paimio… but I know they are quite special. Fleamarkets have become more popular lately, and the prices are higher, so it can be quite difficult to find good bargains, but those Ultima Thule glasses were a exellent catch! 3 €? Seriously?

Did you get a chance to see any modern Finnish design? Helsinki has a so called Design District, full on new a wonderful things: http://www.designdistrict.fi/news
Did they tell you, that Helsinki is also the World Design Capital 2012, so we have all sorts of designy stuff going on this year. http://wdchelsinki2012.fi/en

What I most love about living in a World Design Capital, is that Arabianranta, where I live, is going to have a Design Dog Park! Hopefully it will be way cool!

I’m glad you enjoyed your trip. Note to myself: one should respect own hometown a bit more, and also do some touristy things every once in a while and not always leave abroad to see nice things.

My friend lives in Stockholm with his husband and I’ve been dying to go visit them since he moved.

Also, regarding the last photo – did you notice the granny in the background? Awesome.

I’ve always loved the look of Scandinavia and it’s my dream to move to Sweden one day so loved hearing your experiences, thanks for sharing.

Also, I’m convinced that I saw the same green car in Helsinki. Your photo is significantly better. I blame the fact that I was cold and it was raining that day. Never mind the fact that you are much more amazing.

Also also, I am impressed by your Aalto photos sans fellow tourists.
