"Lappeenranta, the city of meatpies." Lappeenranta by Mitjo

Lappeenranra is small city in Eastern-Finland. It is situated very close to Russia border. Here lives only 60 thousand people. Our city is more like summer city, you can see some pretty neat things in here on summer time, but in winter it seems like the whole city would sleeping. In heart of Lappeenranta is a small central park. There are an old belltower and and a beautiful yellow church. Not too far from the central is a harbor. It is a nice place on summer. There are old boats where you can sit and drink couple beers. There are also small huts where you can buy meatpies, icecream etc.
We have good bus connections in here, you can easily move from place to place by bus. Bus ticket from other side of the town to other side of the town costs 2.40€ (almost three U.S.A dollars). So it is very expencive.
Not very far from the central we have trailwaystation, it is rebuild and very comfortable. From there you can buy train tickets to our capital Helsinki, and many other places.

• Pros:Easy to move from place to place, people speak English quite well.
• Cons:Not many things to see, old people might be unkind for foreigners.
• In a nutshell:Small summer city in Eastern-Finland.
