This is a story of how I got out of China for the very first time. It was my trip to Finland!
Before this trip, I didn’t even have a passport (like most people of China don’t).
今天来讲下我第一次出国的经历，第一次去芬兰，在这之前来护照（跟很多其他中国人一样，很多人都没有护照吧，不过现在好像越来越多的人开始了出国游）都没有的我很是激动。😊
My very first bite of a Finnish breakfast sandwich :P For me it was quite interesting how the people here eat. They do drink A LOT of coffee, lol. And cold drinks, which we Chinese normally don’t. Also, cold drinks in the winter and hot coffee in the summer. I have no idea…
第一次吃正宗的三明治，美好的一天从早餐开始了，😄，真的是面包牛奶的生活，跟中国的煎饼包子还是很不一样的，芬兰人喝很多很多的咖啡，据说他们是世界上人均喝咖啡最多的民族之一。还喝从水龙头里接出来最凉最凉的水喝，跟我们喝烫水的习惯很不一样呀。
The public transport in Finland works very differently than in China. First of all, there are no people anywhere to be seen, haha. In China people just pushing and trying to get in first. So frustrating! To me, Finland seemed unreal. Where are the people?
芬兰的公共交通系统和中国的很不一样呢，首先来说，这里真的是没有人！没有人！跟中国挤地铁的争先恐后状大相径庭啊，人们都去哪里了呢？😄
Oh, the Finnish people LOVE their chocolate and sweets too. I have to admit it, it is very delicious. I never forget to bring some Finnish chocolate to my family and friends in China.
芬兰人很是喜欢吃巧克力和甜食的，不得不承认，这里的巧克力还是真的很美味的，没错回国都会带巧克力给亲戚朋友，但是他们好像不是很欣赏呢...
Messing around with a very Finnish hat. It was not so cold at that time, haha. But I heard that it can get as cold as -35 C in the winter!!
尝试下这个很芬兰式的帽子，9月份的芬兰已经比较冷了，但是据说冬天有可能会达到零下35度呢，不过也不是很常见。😁
I would struggle to find this little people even in my village in China 😃. The air was so clean and the sky so blue. I have never before seen anything like it! In this picture, you will see a popular sightseeing Cathedral in the back. I was told it’s the Russian kind.
即使在我们村子里也会见到比在这里首都的人多，哈哈，夸张点啦。在我身后的是一景点是赫尔辛基大教堂，是比较俄罗斯似的建筑。这里真的是蓝天碧水，美景美不胜收。
Here you can also see the President’s castle on the left. So modest, I couldn’t believe this is where the leader of the country lives in. I also can’t believe that there was a female president (Tarja Halonen) serving here until the beginning of the year of my visit (2012).
我的左边是总统府啦，这么低调的建筑物啊，真的不敢相信总统会住在这里，而且在2012年我刚去那会还是一个女总统执政呢，芬兰女权主义👍
I was actually happy to be here in the autumn. Look at the colors!
随便一拍就是这么美丽，芬兰的秋天真的是很美啊。
I also got to visit one of the most popular sights in Helsinki: Suomenlinna. This picture is from inside that was actually the living space of some workers, not a jail as you might think otherwise 😛
还去了很受欢迎的一个小岛，估计每一个来赫尔辛基的游客都会来到这个叫做Suomenlinna的小岛，这个看起来有点像监狱的地方其实是一些早起工作人员的住所呢。
Suomenlinna is a very beautiful place to visit. Very calm! I liked it quite a bit.
我个人非常非常喜欢这个叫做Suomenlinna的小岛呢，几乎每年都会去一次，如果你们要去赫尔辛基，这里是很值得一去的地方呢。
I will finish this story at a later time. Hope you enjoyed it this far!
我会在今后两天把这个故事写完，希望你们喜欢哦😍
