So this is day two in Helsinki.
It is chilly as ever and we are going to do some sightseeing maybe visit a few churches
and markets.
And if we can we want to have reindeer meat at some point in the day.
Oh, you are eating Santa's Helper!
I'm going to be taking a bite out of Rudolph.

We found a little dog park.
Let's see how friendly these pups are.
Ruff.
Bark.
Let's go.

And here we are introducing Uspenski Cathedral.
This is one of the best known churches in Helsinki and it is an Eastern Orthodox church.

This particular vantage point on the walk is one of the most popular areas in the city
for people to have picnics.
While we were walking here yesterday we saw about four or five different groups over here
just having their own little picnic and just watching the city as things go by.

Hello.
What am I?
I didn't see her body.

We are here in Harbor Market.
It seems to be one of the bigger markets in Helsinki and what we've found to eat.
We've found reindeer meatballs.
So we're going to go try those right now.
Reindeer meatballs here we go.
Hi, could we please try the reindeer meatballs?
Yes, sure.
Those are big meatballs.
I think those are potatoes.
Would you like some vegetables as well?
Oh, sure, yeah.
How about garlic sauce?
Um, sure, yeah, please.

Oh no, I'm not ready but geez I don't have much of a choice.
I'm filming.
That seems like a big enough chunk, right?
It is!
And what are you having?
Reindeer meatballs.
First bite.
Is it good?
It tastes like a regular meatball.
Okay.
Yeah, it doesn't have a very strong reindeer flavor.
It's more garlic-y from all of the sauce we put over top.
And these have to be the biggest meatballs I have ever seen in my whole life.
Okay.
Let's see what you think of it.
Yeah, they don't have as distinct of a flavor as I thought they may.
But what I really like here is this garlic sauce that has been put over top.
Background music playing.
We're back here at the market.
This time we've got a salmon dish.
Same price.
About 10 Euros.
This is smothered in garlic sauce.
I already know I'm going to like it.
Oh, wow.
that just melts in your mouth.
