Stockmann


Stockmann's is the main department store in downtown Helsinki.  The goods are nice, but the prices are usually very high.  The pricing structure did not seem to bother the Russians.  The place was packed with bargain hunters.

Russians at Helsinki market (tori) square.

It was cold, but the weather did not stop all these Russians from trying to find a deal at the market (tori).  January 7 is the Eastern Orthodox day of Christmas. 

Wayne's first transfer!

The harsh surroundings matched my feelings as I watched him walk off.  (Ha! Ha! Now I can do my Sudoku without repeating the numbers first in Finnish!)
