Flowers and plant

Yesterday I bought these flowers and plant in Plantagen. I placed them near to the kitchen window, they are so beautiful, vibrant and bring a positive vibe to my house, especially at this time.




Viola, pansy (orvokkeja in Finnish) I have bought orvokkeja almost every summer in 5 years. I bought them in different color and place in the balcony, this year I bought a bit early.


Forget me not (lemmikki in Finnish) This is the first time I saw they sell forget me not in Plantagen, I sometimes saw the flower grow wildly on the side of the road in Klaukkala.

Budapest, part 1

We had 3 nights and 4 days holiday in Budapest. In our first day, we went to a relax mode, just shopping around after arriving at the city and receiving our apartment at midday.

In the evening, we took the bus go to Castle hill for sightseeing.

I wanted to try goulash soup. Even though I had eaten goulash before and made it in Finland, but I wanted to know how the authentic one taste, so I decided to eat goulash for breakfast. The seller asked me if I wanted it with rice, and cabbage, sauce...I thought it included in a portion but no, you had to pay extra for what you take. Finally, I ended up paying triple the price, around 10 euros and was not able to eat them all, maybe one third of it, I should have asked the children size dish. Anyway, I like the goulash, it was suitable with rice and cabbage and the sauce.

In the evening we went to Spoon, a boat restaurant to have dinner which we booked many days in advanced. The place is very fancy and you could see the castle hill on the other side. However, the food wasn't up to my expectation. Friendly staffs, good service, ok food with gorgeous view. It's good to try once, I guess.

Pikkujoulu, 2017

Last weekend was my pikkujoulu with co-workers. We went to Colorado restaurant in Helsinki centre to eat.

The baby ribs with BBQ sauce that I chose was very good. The portion is kinda big to me so I was full quickly and couldn't finish it all, I even needed help from my boyfriend. French fries I guessed was made there because it tasted differently and better than the fries in common fast food restaurants.

Ordered uunijäätelö (baked alaska) with strawberry flavor, it was nice except way too sweet for me. The service was nice with friendly waiter so I had a pleasant time there.

We went to Tallinn by boat after that. This is my room, the nicest room on boat I have ever had.

"Breakfast in Tiffany", no, it was our special breakfast included in room service. I liked the food there, however the coffee was kinda bad that I and my boyfriend couldn't take it.
