Welcome to Helsinki

On 1st Friday of each month, around 5-20 Porsche's gather on this parking lot, around 8PM'ish:

- On Friday (4th September) evening (7pm'ish - 10pm'ish) there are some people driving their old American/European muscle cars around that area.

- don't expect too much. It is what it is, folks just killing time.

On Saturday (5th September) there is some sort of a car exhibition near main railway station

Free admission.

People in Finland don't generally talk too much to newly met people. It may appear unfriendly, but it just means they are listening.

I am on vacation this week and travelling, so unfortunately can not join for drinks in Helsinki.

> Tipping rule above "Tip Less"

No tips at all. You get a receipt, pay with credit card what is on the receipt. (not 1 cent less, not 1 cent more).

If you want to exchange dollars to euro, you get better rates in destination (rather than change before travel). But a credit card is easiest, I'd probably have one 50 euro note in pocket for emergencies, rest use credit card, 99.9% of places accept it, taxis, trains, bars, small shops, exception is local buses.

Have fun!
