How to go to Finland
It made me
happy
 "heaven on earth"
How I did it: Wife and I booked a mini round the world ticket, (Sydney, Tokyo, London, Berlin, Paris, Helsinki, Hong Kong, Sydney) through Finnair, (who suck btw). It was pretty cheap, but we had to fly through Helsinki, whcih we had never even thought of going to. Once it was all booked and we started looking into Helsinki we got really excited about going there, and it did not dissapoint. Lessons & tips: Go in summer. Everyone is very relaxed and happy. I'd like to go in winter too just to compare and contrast the experience.

How I did it: Well, my job sent me to Helsinki to work on a project. I didn't have any long term planning to do so it all worked out. I ended up on the project for close to a year but I was able to come home from time to time. I didn't need to though. Read how I did it…

I’ve been wanting to go for so long—not only because of how everyone says that it’s simply breathtaking. Simply the fact that about 3 or 4 of my favourite bands are Finnish makes it worth going.
Maybe before University, as a little reward for my hard work… ;)
i dont wanna talk about it!

I went and spent my summer there 1.5 years ago to reconnect with long lost family members I never knew. It was amazing. I think I may decide to live there one day. I found this little house in Parikkalla that would be perfect. Either that or an apartment smack in the middle of Helsinki.
I miss it, and I often look at my pictures from the trip. I felt like I belonged there. Everyone has always said I’m the most un-American American they know. And I agree with them. But I felt at home in Finland.
Anyway, I totally recommend going there. It’s beautiful, and incredibly unique. Just don’t be put off by the people. They aren’t mean, they’re just more quiet than Americans.
Will be

I live in Finland. Of course, it’s….em, cute up here. The nature sure is something to see… But, yeah as my Geography-teacher said when we talked about how come we’re only 5 miljon people in a kinda big country, Just look out the window,it’s against the laws of nature to live here.
Yep. Don’t come here now. It’s cold, but still 3+ Celsius. Around Christmas we’re used to -30. Yippie.
But if you wanna go downhill, then go to northern Finland, that’s sooooooooooooooooooooo beautiful
I live close to the sea, in a town called Jakobstad(in swedish, Finland has two languages), or Pietarsaari(In finnish). It’s wonderful here in the summer. http://www.jakobstad.fi/index_en.html
The schooltragedy was horrible. Sometimes i wonder when its going to happen here in my school. I may seem respectless now, but it’s just to get over it. It’s in the law to go to school. And people are getting shot every day. It’s just to try to not think about it :(
But come to my town in the summer :) And go to Ruka, in northern Finland in the winter, it’s worth it.

to our 43T friends in Finland. I just heard about the school tragedy that happened there from a work colleague, and wanted to send you my sympathies.
