Hello Sello

So today was a complete success. Let me explain...

Successful event #1:



My Finnish debit card came in! Sure, they spelled my name wrong, but as a foreigner I can't afford to be too picky.

#2



Naturally, I went shopping. I went to Sello, a shopping mall pretty close by with all the good stuff. Well, H&M at least. That pretty much covers all the good stuff.

#3



I bought Finnish chocolate! I was told that this chocolate brand, called Fazer, is good enough to rival Swiss chocolate. Supposedly it's one of Finland's best kept secrets. I like to think that its their super sexy men, but hey, what do I know.



Ultimately, I wasn't impressed with Finnish chocolate. This one with the blue and white wrapper was my favorite. All the others will probably be sent to my family in the States as gifts.. They should appreciate the thought.

Anyway, shopping at Sello taught me a few very important lessons. Firstly, don't order noodles from Wong's Noodle Bar- you'll be terribly disappointed. Secondly, that I'm a European size 38- who knew! I only had to ask some poor person what size they were and do a rough comparison to figure it out. :/ And lastly, that Finnish people are annoyingly well-dressed only because they have fantastic stores and clothes to choose from. Now I can be super stylish too!
