Day 20

Today I started alone to work. I took the 8:50 bus , but missed the connecting metro. Since the next train was 5 minutes later I was sleepwalking in the metro towards a bench. A tall(much taller than 6 ft) German guy walked over to me and said 'boo'. He probably found it funny that I was so tiny and tried to scare me. But I was so sleepy, I just looked at him and waled away. He was smiling when I turned back to look at him.

Sharmili forgot her house keys and took my keys. I spent the whole day trying to read about soumennlina island. While reading, I came across this link where it was mentioned that an astronomer had built a model of the solar system spanning espoo and helsinki. It consists of pillars taking the positions of planets with almost the same scale. and mars and earth were near the bus stop where I get down in the evening. I thought I must check it out before I leave. I had no clue I would see it the same evening.

In the evening we started quite early as had very little work. We first went to parvez's place to collect his cam. The way to his place was scenic, we had to cross a bridge over the gulf of Helsinki. After taking the cam, we started for kamppi, we wanted to take snaps at the open air fair that was happening at kamppi. Took a lot of snaps and while walking back to kamppi mall met some old friends of parvez. We then went to McDonald's and had a chicken meal and then started for home.

On the way home, I got a call from akanksha that they were still in central. With no keys of my own I started roaming the neighbourhood. and finally stumbled upon mars.. Then walked a litle further to find earth. I knew that the otherplanets were not in the vicinity so did not proceed further. But it felt nice walking along the side of the woods. Only problem was, It was freezing outside and also I was wearing six inch heels and walking so much was killing my feet. After a while I went into a supermarket next to my place. I waled around until closing time and walked out with some ice cream and other such junk.

Had to wait outside my apartment until tese guys turned up.
