Linnanmäki: I Was Amused!

Yet again, my Sunday was the perfect end to the week. I went to Linnanmäki, the main amusement park here in Helsinki, with a few friends and had an unexpected (yet welcomed) blast.

Originally, I was hesitant to go. I thought it was way too much money for so few thrills. I mean, I'm a girl who had the opportunity to hop on over to Six Flags whenever her heart desired. I considered myself well-experienced in the area of roller-coasters and thrill rides.

Well, it turns out that I'm a regular ol' scared-y cat and an easily nauseated person to boot. I prayed for my life before getting on any of the roller coasters (no matter how small they were) and skipped the rides I knew would send me to the bathroom with my head in the toilet. I suppose I had forgotten about those unpleasant times on The Zipper at the fair back home... Which, speaking of, I believe I'm missing this week or the next. I had a little hole in my heart about it, but going to Linnanmäki definitely filled it.

So yes, I had a great time. I even took part in my usual Sunday activities including eating ice cream and taking pictures. A total success in my book. We then had a great, big dinner and I saw my first Finnish Film. It was about some guy living in Lapland on a quest to buy a digibox (like a DVR, I suppose) and I actually found it funny, so yet another success!

Anyway, it was a good day with good company, completed with good food. Goooood.
