This week the first starbucks opened in Helsinki! The only other one is at the airport so the whole of Finland was super excited. To us in Australia, starbucks is pretty normal as we have quite a bit of them but to people here in Finland, starbucks is amazing. We had to que for 30 minutes just to order our drinks. It was absolutly packed with people! I went with Olli and Fiona and later on Tiina joined us too :) We were there around 2:30pm in the afternoon and already it was really dark outside and felt like at least 6pm.
Once we had got our drinks and were sitting down, we started to watch the people around us. Every single one of them would line up their drinks and take a photo to show all their friends that they're at starbucks? We decided to join in and here's our starbucks drink shot.. my new name is Arianna. I'm still confused as to how they got Arianna from Breanna.
Since christmas is not far away, Helsinki was covered in christmas trees and lights! It took me a while to comprehend that all the trees in Finland are real! In Australia most, if not all of our trees are fake! I guess the weather isn't right for real christmas trees.
What an amazing Christmas tree. Just beautiful!!! They must smell device...all fresh and piney. Our fake $10 Kmart job will be going up shortly : ) love aunty jen x
ReplyDeleteThanks Aunty Jen! They do! You would really love them!! Xxx
DeleteI can't wait to see all the lovely REAL Christmas trees. You're right Bree- not too many of those around here. How much were the coffee's? Not China prices I hope... Remember to look for that mug for DAd's collection...
ReplyDeleteStarbucks has always been expensive, but normal prices I think :)
