At 10:30 this morning I went into Helsinki to meet some of my AFS friends, Alya and Eliška. Alya is from Indonesia and Eliška is from the Czech Republic. While we were there we did a lot of wandering around. We shopped, ate food, ate chocolate, briefly met up with other exchange students from Rotary and AFS, and we just all around had a good time. Both of them live pretty far away, so we spent the entire day in Helsinki and I didn't end up going home until 8. Two notable buys from the day include some rainboots/fall boots that I got and this really crazy dress that Alya and I both bought, because they were only 5 euros (marked down from 40) and we realized that they actually were awesome.
