Finnish Glass Museum is located in Riihimäki, 66km from Helsinki.
Very nice to visit to see beautiful Finnish glass arts from daily use glasswares to decorative figurines with progressive design.

My favorite place "Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden".
Cherry blossoms viewing is something very special every year.
"Taxodium distichum" (落羽松)
Part of the root systems sticking out of the ground. Looks very weird!
Wild fiddleheads
Looks delicious. :)
Bamboo sprout looks delicious too. :-)
The active volcanoes, Mt. Sakurajima just erupted.
Great scenery but its falling ash is very nasty.
There are cherry trees in the Alppipuisto park in Helsinki.
Those tress were donated by some Japanese people.
When I went there in the beginning of this month, they didn't even have buds yet.
Hopefully, they will give lots of cherry blossoms soon.
Muikku (vendace) that I ate in the nighborhood market tasted like spring. :)
Sweet onion and garlic sauce were sooo nice too.
Sun rises 6:13 and sets 20:31. Length of day is 14 h 18 min.
With brighter and warmer days, I can feel more hope in my life these days.
There is less snow left on the streets and people are enjoying walking and haivng coffee outside.
One Finnish lady was swimming in the hole of the frozen sea.
She said she doesn't feel cold at all. Very brave.
