hakaniemi.market

you finished your workshop around 2pm by the time you left the client's office and return to your hotel the sky is getting dark.

 you reached hakaniemi market square a little over 3.30pm but the sky is dark. that's winter time for scandinavian countries....

 the market has two floors, with the upper floor selling crafts, souvenir and books, you walk up the escalator and found yourself welcomed by marimekko christmas tree and it has a small stall but with a lot of dining ware selection and clothing too.

 the colorful fabric or textile that thrills you everytime you see them...

 a stall that selling scent chips, this is a new way to fragrance your home without the oil and water...

 a lovely yarn shops with a lot of yarns of different quality but they are not cheap...

 an interesting old book stall which you can only appreciate the rustic look but  not able to read any of the books

when you are done with the upper floor, you came down to the ground floor where there's a floral shop with some vibrant color to bring up your day and many butchers, fish mongers and cheese stalls all about to close...

you when to a bakery, got yourself a blueberry pastry and the girl at the bakery gave you a piece of gingerbread cookie, it's delicious and it snaps big time and crunchy too.  just in time to fuel you as you walk out to the cold again.
