Welcome, reader, to another installment of the Helsinki in details series. This time, we are exploring postal area 00150 that encompasses the contrasting areas of industrial Hernesaari and the wealthy Eira. It is hard to say which one I prefer. In Hernesaari, I have to walk for long stretches of time without seeing anything but grey buildings and rocks, while in Eira I have to pay 4 euros for a soda after being exhausted by the Hernesaari loop.
Maybe Hernesaari. At least there I am not constantly tripping over small white dogs.
Maybe that'll be me living there someday. Not because I will be able to buy it, no one is hiring me even as a window cleaner in this current economy. No, I will climb over the fence and squat there as any true groupie would.
I will see you in the next installment, dear reader, if they haven't arrested me for loving philosophy too much instead of our national sport. You stay safe and watch hockey. Heated Rivalry will probably suffice.
