izardThis time in Helsinki as always I read many signs translated to English, Swedish and Russian. I liked this one:
Have you noticed that the fine print in English and Finnish mentions a fine of 350 euros, but Russian does not? Also I would not translate "NO SMOKING" as "место для курения"...
Another thing: In Helsinki airport, I always went to the station and bought ticket to Helsinki on a local train. When I tried to do it this time, the machine told me it no longer sells tickets to Helsinki, only to other cities. (That was a software upgrade..). The only way is to get back to the airport's ticket machine (5 minutes one way), and miss a train.
P.S. Still like Espoo, new swimming pool was very nice, and very crowded at 6AM. Parking lot was full, it is good that I walked there from my hotel.
