The last day in Helsinki(April 21)

This is the last day that we stayed in Helsinki and we had to take a flight back to Taiwan this afternoon. Since we had only a few hours for the sight-seeing, we chose to go the Seurasaari Open-Air Museum. When we got to this museum, we thought it looked like a park more than a museum. It is located on a beautiful green island, which is a tranquil oasis in the midst of the city. Here, the traditional Finnish way of life is displayed in the cottages, farmsteads and manors of the past four centuries that have been relocated from all around Finland.
The most interesting we found in this island was a toilet! There's no flushing facility in the washing room. It showed us the traditional way for a toilet; that is, people use saw dust instead of water to cover our droppings. Quite environmental friendly, right?
