So last night was interesting.
We made our way to the Meatpacking District which is a mecca for young hipsters with good restaurants and bars. The first bar was tiny hippie place and after we tried to find this bar called Jolene but couldn't find it. Most of the places around there were restaurants so we ended up taking an Uber back to the center.
Walked a while until went in to this Torst bar with small bottles of wine for 45DKK. Problem solved for the night. That's were the craziness started. After at least 6 small bottles of wine we went to dance and ditched these guys that had talked with us, left them with our jackets. :D Dancing, more drinking, one fight (three guys) that started because these two guys fought over Trina. After we ran out with our jackets, went to this other place for one drink with these english guys but basically left straight home..
Went for couple of drinks and got home with Uber maybe aroun 3 am. What happened? :D
All last night and today Trina has been suffering a lot from a massive hangover.. I felt surprisingly okey.. I left at 16.00 to find a supermarket to buy some snacks and soda. Well that trip took me 2,5 hours. First waited for the bus for 30 minutes (the buses are always on time here except this time!) and hopped to this other one I knew would also go towards the center.. All the supermarkets on the way were closed, so I thought that in the center there must be something open.. The bus ride ended up taking 50 minutes!! Got of at the end stop and was totally lost. After a while found myself to the familiar streets and noticed that the whole center was closed from cars and buses. And so were the supermarkets, great. Found this one take away chinese from were I bought some food to go.
Waited the bus 2A for maybe 10 minutes untill I noticed it doesnt even run from there at the moment.. I walked to the next stop and run for the bus. It was packed!!
Notices:
- loads of bikers with no helmets
- not many curtains on the windows at all. You can see straight in.
- people dressed really nicely for New Year.
-on 31th everything closed at 15.00..
Trina got up from bed at 18.00 and somehow we managed to head towards the center. Went to the same coffee / restaurant where we had been the day before also. Center was quite queit cause we had thought it's packed! Also the restaurants weren't packed and into anyone you could have gotten a table. We ate nice meal at Stella's and drank the lovely raspberry mojitos. Then quarter to twelve we started heading towards the square but didn't wanna go right in the middle but instead started heading already towards the bus stop if it would be packed!
The fireworks was okey, nothing special. In Helsinki center the square were middle go to there aren't really people firing the fireworks but it's like a show from the city. Here in the center square we couldnt really tell which were fireworks by watcher and which weren't. Thought it would be over in couple of minutes but it kept going on going. We hopped into the bus which was empty! All the way to our stop we could see loads of firework everywhere. People were gathered to every crossroads and fired them from in the middle of the roads.
Got of from the bus and our narrow streets were full of people in the doorways and in the open windows. Got in and could see looooads from our window and they only started to die down at 01.00!?! That was so weird!
