Christmas Dinner @t Sassorosso Italian Restaurant 2008

It was a sudden opportunity to know Sassorosso Ilatian Restaurant.
The initial plan for the Christmas dinner was Cafe cafe KL Restaurant. However the plan has been cancel due to the restaurant doesn't provide ala cart menu for christmas eve. In addition, the set dinner for Christmas Eve is not suit for vegetarian.

I get to know Sassorosso Italian Restaurant from food blog. It was located near KLCC and renovate from an old bungalow.

西貝柳斯公園, 奥林匹克体育场, 国家剧院, 国家博物院, 国会大厦

今天放工最主要的目的是西貝柳斯公園去看看.
从同事那里得知这是个芬兰人引以为荣的旅游景点.
虽然到了后没有想象中那么震撼, 但是还是必须说这雕像是蛮美的说.
由于着公园离开饭店并不靠近, 所以前一晚就已经拿了地图策划了要走的路线了.

----------------

Jean Sibelius(1865-1957)是芬蘭了不起的作曲家、芬蘭人心目中的國寶與英雄人物,他的芬蘭頌(Finlandia)是演奏會的常見曲目而且歷久不衰。Sibelius在1957年過世,芬蘭人要為他建一個紀念碑而公開徵求作品,最後選中芬蘭的知名現代派女藝術家Eila Hiltunen(1922-2003)的抽象雕塑。當時芬蘭人對這一項作品的評價兩極,為了滿足公眾的要求,主辦單位要求Eila Hiltunen再加一個傳統雕塑(見下面的說明)。這項紀念Sibelius的雕塑(叫做Sibelius Monument)在1967年9月7日落成。

Sibelius紀念雕塑在離Senate Square一段距離的Sibelius公園中,走到地頭就會見到下面這個大型戶外現代抽象雕塑,它由600條長短粗細不等的鋼管構成,有些鋼管的表面是平滑的,另一些有不同的紋理;整個雕塑長10.5公尺、寬6.5公尺、高8.5公尺,重達30公噸。它代表什麼?就像是其它抽象藝術一樣人言人殊,有人說它象徵管風琴,但Sibelius從來沒有寫過管風琴的作品,倒是Eila Hiltunen的網站說得貼切:這些密集的中空鋼管讓人想到一個樺樹森林或極光。當然,您也可以自由詮釋Eila Hiltunen的這個作品。


欣赏了西貝柳斯雕像后, 我就朝我下个目的地出发...
接下来要到曾经主办过奥林匹克运动会的体育场参观. 芬兰是于1952年主办奥林匹克运动会的.
虽然过了那么久, 但是见到了运动场后会不自觉惊讶...那时候已经有那么先进的建筑技术了啊?
好厉害哦....想当时大马可能还很落后呢....

绕着赫爾辛基海边走走看看

由于打算在周末乘达渡轮到Estonia, 所以今天提早了放工, 准备到码头去买船票.
看了看地图, 就大选绕着赫爾辛基的海边走去...希望能让我体验不同的芬兰...
果然...我看到了芬兰超悠闲的一面....
由亚洲来的我对欧洲的生活方式有些许的惊讶....当然也存有向往的心...
怎么这里的人工作时间那么短, 却能享有那么好的生活素质呢?
是他们比较聪明呢? 还是什么呢

饭店附近的小型码头...

在芬兰....几乎很多人都拥有自己的游艇...拥有自己在郊外的度假小屋...
所以..这里的码头都停了许多各型各样的游艇...

经过了这码头与修船中心...我就来到了海边.
还蛮多人在这里运动的哦...跑步及骑单车几乎是他们必要的运动.
我拿着我的相机在这里散步反而显得有些许格格不入呢...
