Counting down to return home, I look forward to stuff like sleeping on my own bed and eating hot pani puri on the roadside or laugh as loudly as I can, and the best part, No sweaters!! No jackets, no need to wear 2-3 layers of clothing even to get to the grocery store or to throw out the trash.
Had a lot of work but things feel good as everything works, I actually enjoyed working.
Today I went to verkkokauppa to checkout the cams one last time before I buy them. Also chose a memory card to buy along with the cam. Then I went down to K market to get some eats. This place makes me so lazy, You have escalators to go everywhere and the transport is also extremely convenient.
There are four modes of transport Bus, Metro, Tram and train and you have a common pass for all four. Buses and trams ply on the roads almost parallel. Metros go underground and the route is in the shape of a fork. Rouhoulahti, the place where my office is, is the last stop for the metro. There are metros to two destinations and both of them travel in the same route until itakeskus where they fork into two different routes. The metro travels from underground to a few levels above the road like our flyovers. It travels in an underground tunnel from rouholahti to fiskhamnen from where it comes out into the open and is on a flyover. And you barely notice that the metro has climbed up from a few stories underground to a few stories above normal level. You just feel that it is moving on a plane. I really felt amazed when the metro surfaced from the tunnel. It was as high here from the road as it was low in the underground. Almost level with a 6-7 storied building!!
Travel is free for children and those who are carrying children in prams. I did notice a few people carrying overage kids in prams to take advantage of this. I did mention earlier that pedestrians are given a lot of importance. There are wide sidewalks everywhere and another wide stripe for cyclists. the roads are not very wide, just wide enough for a bus to pass and at some places a little more for a car to pass. The people seem to be good drivers.
