At Helsinki-Vantaa Airport we were welcomed by a very pretty and nice Finnish girl called Henrika Ignatius.  I was not nervous about my poor English skills after seeing her super sweet smile.

Henrika led us to The GLO Hotel and helped us with the check-in.  Me and my husband walked around the center after a short rest at the hotel, which is located in the heart of Helsinki.

I like the style of traditional European architecture in Helsinki, and because of its simplicity I feel that its pleasant.  My husband told me Helsinki is a city in the forest, and with all the nature around it doesn’t need any artificial decorations.  It is very different from Shenzhen where I haven’t seen a many trees in the center.  To make up for the trees we have gardening design in the city center.
