Helsinki by e-bike
When the weather is nice in Helsinki, I need to mention and make a big number out of it. Because it is just simply so beautiful. I used to live in front of the sea in Helsinki. It is a beautiful area, but it wasn’t so convenient to move around by public transportation. Taking a…

In Japan, Spring cleaning and end-of-the-year cleaning are important….
