Fancy Sea Breakfast? – I do :) 船の旅を満喫する- まずは朝ごはんから :)
ヘルシンキからほんとに気軽に行けるタリンへは、何度も行ったことがあるのだが、その気軽さと楽しさ故、海外旅行という感覚もすっかり忘れてしまう。そんなわけで、また、日帰り旅行に出かけてみた。(こちらの地理に詳しくない方、タリンはフィンランドの隣国エストニアの首都です。)気軽と言うのは、本当に気軽で、フェリーでたったの2時間だし、料金も全然高くない。料金に関しては、いつ行くのかとか、どのくらい事前に予約するのかとか、特別セールとかいろいろな事情で変わるのだが、どうみても高くない。 I had been to Tallinn by ferry several times. It’s super easy to get there from Helsinki. It takes […]
Last Week, I Ate, Ate, and Ate – @Helsinki

Sushi at “Domo” in Helsinki
今日のディナーの場所を決めるときに "Domo" に行ってみない?と日本人の友達にメッセージを送ったら、"なにそれ、ジョーク?” と返された。そんな店名の日本料理の店、Domo。 ヘルシンキでは老舗のうちの1つでわたしもよく行く日本食の店“古都”が移転したあとを中国人のオーナーが買い取って始めたと聞いていた店。日本人の経営じゃない日本食屋・・・どうなんだろうかと思ったけど、日本に住んでいたことのある外人友達何人かからおいしかったと聞いたのでトライして見ることにした。(外人友達ってここではわたしも外人だけど、日本人じゃないという意味で外人って書いてみた) "Domo" is a Japanese word to express gratitude. IT's an adverb that literally means indeed or very much but can be understood as thank you. When […]
