Thanking Netta for picking me up from the airport…we took a taxi to take us to the apartment they had chosen for me. A serviced apartment provided from Rivoli Jardin. It took us around 20 minutes to reach the apartment from the airport. I was already feeling the ‘chill’ of Helsinki. We first checked in at the reception of the hotel and went ahead to the apartment at the road behind the main entrance of the hotel. Finally we made it to the apartment at the first floor of the block. Dumped the luggage and had a look around the apartment.
A single bedroom apartment with a kitchen which has the basic needs for cooking your own food – a microwave oven, electric stove, coffee maker, water kettle, and a oven/ griller. The bedroom has a TV with a set-top box, and a DVD player. There is a lot of automation all around me here… we have a pass code to enter the building through all gates. The light switches in the common area are also automated… like switch it on and it switches off automatically in 1 minute’s time. This is really good. We don’t need to remember to switch it off J
Netta took me on a stroll around the apartment area, showed me the office and other essential places like the supermarket and ATM machine, the tunnel station, tram and bus stop, and other areas around the place. The city looks clean and traffic “disciplined” and the people are nice. Though English is rarely seen on the sign boards and even inside the shop, people around help us. The office is just 250 meters from my apartment and most of the other essential shops as well.
