If you walk slowly through downtown Helsinki during the day, taking in the splendid 19 th century buildings, white boats and noise of passing trams (有軌電車), you will start to understand why it is called a city of two colors: white and blue.
The sea is always present in Helsinki. When you take a walk over the great open space of the central square, you will hear seabirds screaming. When you take the tram, suddenly and unexpectedly, you are faced with a calm, shining blue sea. You may notice that people in Helsinki do not rush about as in other cities. Instead, they walk along the roads, politely letting other people by.
A usual way to see Helsinki for the first time is to start out by the boats. You will walk by the elderly women selling fish and vegetables in the market square and find yourself in front of a beautiful park. You may enjoy a pleasant walk in the park for a few hours and then take the tram. Trams are the perfect way to get around in Helsinki. Watching the old houses, parks, theatres, churches, shops, restaurants and people in the streets, you may have a slightly sad film feeling to it.
The pale summer nights are another wonder in the city. Following the waterfront(濱水區(qū))of the city after sunset, you couldn’t help stopping and listening to the sweet silence, interrupted only by the screaming seabirds and leaving fishing boats.
However, in some way. Helsinki is also the most modern city in northern Europe. You will surely want to visit the white Glass Palace, the modern art museum, and all those extremely popular cafes and design stores.

Believe it or not, America’s favorite snack food is the potato chip.There is a story behind how it was first made.One might think that somewhere a genius thought up the first potato chips, but it didn’t happen that way.Picture an elegant restaurant in Saratoga Springs, New York, in 1853.The Moon Lake Restaurant’s menu included French-fried potatoes, a popular food recipe brought back from France by Thomas Jefferson.These were thickly cut potatoes, fried until golden brown and crisp on the outside.One evening a guest in the dining hall felt that his potatoes were too thick and sent them back to the kitchen.The cook sliced some potatoes thinner than before and prepared them for the complaining guest.He was still not satisfied and sent them back again! By this time the cook was very angry and decided to do exactly what the dinner guest wanted:slice the potatoes as thin as possible.Then they would be so crisp that the diner wouldn’t be able to use his fork to eat them.When the paper-thin browned potatoes arrived, the diner was pleased.He was so happy with them that other guests started ordering the new potatoes.The cook’s plan to stop the dinner guest complaining didn’t turn out as expected.Soon Saratoga Chips appeared on the menu and became so popular that people wanted to take some home.The restaurant started selling small packages of the potato chips.A few years later, they were sold all over the U.S.But because the potatoes had to be peeled by hand, it was a time-consuming job and potato chips were often out of stock.In the 1920s, a mechanical potato peeler was invented and soon they were potato chips in abundance.They gradually spread all over the world and have remained popular ever since.
