It is our first full day in Finland and we decided to walk to the register for a personal identification (social security type) number. We walked around lost for about half an hour (Randall was navigating) if I had been navigating we would have walked circles around the apartment. We were able to get some information about getting the number and what to do to get me a travelers card.
We also went to the grocery store. That was scary as we had no idea what we were doing. We just looked at pictures on the cans and bottles :). They did have some stuff that was in English that was helpful. We did manage to get some sliced cheese, mini sub bread pasta & sauce, orange drink, paper towels, toilet paper, soup, canned peaches and a large reusable grocery bag for 14euros. All in all today was a good day we also managed to get prepaid calling cards for our cell phones. All of the people we dealt with did speak English so that was helpful. here are some pictures of the place we are staying for the next 10 days.
