It has been some time since I last visited Helsinki. The company that I work for has just moved office to a new location. It’s still in Ruoholahti in Helsinki. Just a bit closer to the metro station.

Today was the first “official” back to the office day, including an office tour by the property managers. The tour was fine, although cut short by the fact that quite a few things were still being renovated and weren’t ready to be shown just yet.

The best part was that I hadn’t seen this many people at the office in a while. So many people that we actually ran out of desks for everyone.

Can’t really say much good about the new “downstairs” lunch restaurant though. Some said it was okay, while others said it tasted just like school food, and even more harshly, some said that it tasted like prison food.

The office will get better as things settle down, and as more furniture and decoration gets added. Although, with my own new office, I’m not entirely sure how often I’ll visit this new Helsinki office.

In work unrelated matters, it’s been raining a lot. Sometimes the whole day. But that’s just how autumn is like in Finland.
