Come to Finland!
Forests cover 75 percent of Finland's land area. For every Finn, there is around 4,2 hectares of forest. In Finland, land area is classified according to its use. 86 percent of land area is forestry land.
It is very green, unless it is winter in which case it is either white (due to snow) or bleak and miserable due to darkness.
- bostik 10y agoAs a Finn, I second the "bleak and miserable". Hell, I moved to London for the weather.
- vidarh 10y agoAs a Norwegian (from Oslo) living in London, who has visited Finland during the summer and found it "bleak and miserable" even then (ok, so not all the time we did have some days with sun too), I'm not surprised. Though London is bleak and miserable compared to Oslo even during the winter (I prefer snow over rain any day..)
- stevekemp 10y agoI moved from Scotland to Helsinki. The snow & cold aren't so bad, but the darkness is really something that took some getting used to.
