What would I show to my Italian friend? - Moomin shop

This was really hard to figure out, but I decided to introduce the Moomin shop in Helsinki! :D Moomins are one of the biggest Finnish brands after all. It's located in Forum, which is a shopping center in central Helsinki. It's pretty expensive store, but super cute and full of all kinds of Moomin things. Great place to find adorable souvenirs and gifts.

What would I show to my Italian friend? - Puistoblues

Puistoblues (which by the way means "Park Blues") is a big happening which is arranged every summer in Järvenpää. There are a lot of different kind of performers, most of them are bands.
The best thing about Puistoblues is that there are so many different booths in the centre of Järvenpää. There you can find almost anything to buy! Puistoblues makes the summer.

Linnanmäki

(Vanha vuoristorata)

Linnanmäki is an old finnish amusement park. It is very nice place especially in summer time.
In Linnanmäki there are lots of things to do - for everyone. If you are daredevil (like me) there is many roller coasters and wild rides to experience, or if you are little bit more calm person, you can always go to carousel or just enjoy the view.
Linnanmäki may not be one of the world's biggest amusement parks, but it still has a nice feel in it. Park's decoration is funny and interesting, and  not boring at all. The oldest still-working ride on Linnanmäki is "the Old roller coaster", which is built in year 1951. I love to go on the old roller coaster, because it has awesome old-wood- like smell in it. It definitely makes you feel retro!
