I have visited this beautiful town enourmous times during my life. I live in a small town in Joensuu and comparing to that Helsinki seems very big and interesting! And of course many of my friends live there and my cousins, so I have spent there many memorable moments. Last year I had to take some exams there in Helsinki and of course I travelled through Helsinki many times(most flies leave from Helsinki if you're travelling somewhere outside Finland), I guess I spent many days in Helsinki. Just walking there, doing a little shopping and just relaxing. I always feel that I have born in a wrong place, because of Joensuu, it's just so unbeliavable small town and I love big cities. So if I wasn't moving to London I would probably choose Helsinki as my hometown! It's not too big, it's not that crowded like most cities in Europe are and it's beautiful. Air is guite a clean and shopping great. And I think it's exotic enough for tourist, beside through Helsinki you can visit lost of more exotic places, like take a plane to Lapland etc.
