From Helsinki

Dear Dr. Tanabe,

Good morning. I am writing this to explain more about our travel to Finland. Like we already told you that we had arrived at Helsinki at 14:40 local time.
I would like to tell you about two things. First one was about the temperature in here. It is warmer than I expected. There is not big difference in temperature than that of Japan. I regretted bringing in with me winter clothes.
Second one was about language. So far, people here understand English all right, but we got lost in a supermarket! Descriptions of products were all written in Finnish so we couldn't read them.
Having said so, it was not so hard a day. We will start our research from tomorrow on.

Best regards,
Rain
