Cafe Success! I find lonely planet is better for finding things off the beaten/touristy path

Seconding Lonely Planet. I've used that site for years to avoid crowds - even before avoiding crowds was what everyone was doing, hah.

If you like beaches, try Kivinokka. It's within walking distance of the Kulosaari metro station, and it's absolutely breathtaking. Also far fewer people than the other more popular beaches.

I would love to go there. I had a friend who visited and said it was stunning. Its on my bucketlist for sure.

Although not exactly secret, I would suggest strolling down the Ruoholahti canal and making your way to the former Lapinlahti psychiatric hospital location if you enjoy the sea and greenery. Following the seashore in the direction of Hietalahti beach, etc., is simple from there.

I want to know the same thing too. I haven't been there yet. So firsthand experience of people who actually went there will be helpful.

How do I bring this inequity up and ask to be compensated equally? I have years more experience and My work is more complex - she is basically a receptionist. Any suggestions would be helpful!
