hi. i am staying near Metro Helsingin Yliopisto. on my way to the hotel, yesterday afternoon, i passed a meeting of about three dozen uniformed police officers. this morning, there were young men in military(?) uniforms putting metal barricades along Kaisaniemenkatu and Unioninkatu roads. and on my jog around the lake, i saw a crew putting up fences around a large section across from the Kaupunginteatteri. anyone know what they're preparing for?
