The 1st of May in Finland marks the start of Spring. There's usually a major celebration in the city centre.

students clean the havis amanda statue as part of the celebrations


Haven't seen helsinki so packed before... basically i was "pushed around" so i had no idea where i was walking to when i hit the streets

The next day, we headed off to Kaivopuisto park to have a picnic... apparently, this is the usual way of celebration for the finns. Look at the crowd in the park and observe that almost everyone has the teekari cap on.

The park... first time ever... helsinki is packed with life. It was a nice sight though.
