Eating in style in Helsinki
I guess it is a little surreal to pay about $80 for a meal in an old jail. But that is what you are likely to do in Hotel Katajanokka in Helsinki. I was part of an event to celebrate 25 years of work of a…
The New London
The interesting thing about London is the emergence of modern architecture that is as classic as the old. The whole area around City Hall and the Tower Bridge is fascinating because of the timeless buildings, buildings that will be tourist attractions 100 years from now,…
