Helsinki: Jetlag, day 3

I hate it when all my clothes fly out the window at once.

Helsinki is pretty awesome. I know, because I was there.

I have learned quickly, however, that my body is not so sure about this whole traveling thing. My jetlag is finally starting to clear up, but my left eyelid is a little swollen and my digestion is a little... impaired, but whatever, who needs food? Cholera is totally cool because you can get it in Oregon Trail, and Helsinki is totally cool because you don't get mugged all the time. And all the buildings are tall and the streets are narrow and huzzah, you're in Europe!

(Also, all the seagulls sound like siamangs. As someone who has lived very close to both the beach and the zoo in San Francisco, I feel that I have the authority to make this claim.)

Wild. Berry. Fanta.

The important thing is that I had a pink doughnut and it was filled with jam. Also, Fanta in a flavor that doesn't exist in the United States, booya.

Basically, I eat a lot. This should come as news to no one.

Tomorrow, I leave for my language course in scenic, coastal Vaasa. It's got almost twice the land area of San Francisco and about a thirteenth of the population. I expect I'll still manage to get lost.
