Saturday lunch
Finland, Food, HelsinkiI saw those sausages in a supermarket yesterday and thought how similar they could be to the Irish kind. Not similar enough for my taste. The German Nürnberger kind are closer in taste. Luckily, those are easily available in Helsinki. 🙂

Helsinki City Photos – September 2012
Finland, Helsinki, Photography, TravelSome photos I took in the city of Helsinki, Finland in September 2012. Lots of evidence of the transition from summer to the autumn. This is most clear in the photos of the terraces at Latsipalatsi which were mostly deserted. The most beautiful moment was the impromptu classical concert outside Cafe Java on an evening in which I was on my way to see some friends.
iOS 6
Finland, Helsinki, Mobile, TechI have read all of the negative reviews of the maps feature of iOS 6. One of the apps that I use frequently is RettiGPS, an app that can tell which bus, train or metro to take to reach a particular destination in Helsinki. For some walking parts, Google Maps is really useful in finding a path to the nearest stop. On the other hand, IOS 5.1.1 did introduce the issue where my speakers and HDMI cable no longer worked with my iPhone 4S and that would be nice to have that active again. Better to wait and see if any other issues come up before upgrading the OS.
Helsinki Fireworks
