The best Handcraft store ever!!!

On Wednesday Carmen came to Helsinki for a few days, as anyone could expect our first stop has been the best HandCraft store I have ever seen; Hobby Point.

Hobby Point, easy to reach from Kamppi

Located quite close to kamppi, in Fredrikinkatu, they have a website but it's in finnish, http://www.hobbypoint.fi/sivu.php and if any of you enjoy handcrafting, check this post out because you will definitely freak as you have never done.

They have ANYTHING you could ever need. AMAZING. Architecture people go quite often, so there we can buy interesting stuff for the models, and I, personally, go there to buy things I enjoy doing on my spare time. As words are useless in this cases, I leave you here a bunch of pictures I took with the boss permission.

Remember: Hobby Point

Alvar Aalto - Iglesia de las Tres Cruces

Aprovechando la visita a Imatra , y puesto que éramos un grupo de estudiantes de arquitectura , el alcalde de la ciudad junto con los directivos de Fortum nos hicieron un tour en autobús por la ciudad con una simpática guía británica, y nos enseñaron, a parte de los 3 cascos urbanos que componen la ciudad, la Iglesia de las Tres Cruces de Alvar Aalto . Lo bueno de estar aquí es que hay cosas de Aalto por todos lados!!! Aprovecho esta entrada para contaros que la semana que viene empezaré a preparar mi ruta "Aalto in Finland" con las obras que visitaré y los días que iré, por si, quién sabe, algún lector se deja caer por aquí y se quiere apuntar a las excursiones.

Aalto Museum - Jyäskylä

From my point of view, the most amazing collection of Aalto philosophy of design is able to be found in the Aalto Museum of Jyväskylä . We went there couple of weekends ago, and it was, from the city, what I liked the most. It is located close to the University, it is sited on a slope leading down towards Lake Jyväsjärvi . Completed in 1973 , the building, together with the Museum of Central Finland (Alvar Aalto 1961) form a centre of culture in the vicinity of the University of Jyväskylä (Alvar Aalto 1951-1971). We had to pay a 2€ fee for the access, (with the student discount) and we were there for 2 hours (and another 45 minutes in the café), so trust me when I say that it is worth visiting.

One measuring tape designed by artek and a new moleskine, is there any better place to start a new moleskine than in Aalto Muse...

Ravintola Kosmos - Helsinki

Ravintola, para aquellos que no lo sepan, quiere decir Restaurante. Así pues, esta entrada trata sobre una de mis únicas cenas en restaurantes que, aprovechando la visita parental y sabiendo que con mi vida de estudiante cenar en un restaurante no entra dentro de mis quehaceres, aproveché para elegir uno de categoría. Lo encontré en la guía Lonely Planet (la cual recomiendo enormemente a futuros exploradores) y no dudé en comprobar lo que en la guía describían. La cena fue excelente , el precio tampoco es desorbitado, teniendo en cuenta que estamos en Finlandia y todo es unas 3 ó 5 veces más caro (excepto el alcohol, que es 10 veces más caro y en muchas ocasiones 10 veces peor que en España) Para que os hagáis una idea comimos 5 personas con 2 entrantes, cervezas (grandes), un plato cada uno y un postre para compartir. No llegó a los 200 euros. Los comensales y degustación gastronómica: Los progenitores Doña Marisol, la estrella del viaje Sisters having dinner Entre lo...
