Finland is actually great for summer holidays (although a bit expensive) - and I think it will become more popular as summers in other parts of Europe Europe get hotter and hotter.
One thing you will need to get used though is the light in the night. You wait for it to get dark, you wait, and... it never happens. Very strange.
- jedberg 7y agoI’m totally cool with that part! I remember walking home from the event and thinking “wow the streets are empty considering how early it is” only to realize it was 10:30pm. The lat few days of our trip the sun never set. Blackout shades are all I need to solve that. It’s the lack of sun in winter I couldn’t handle.
- StavrosK 7y agoSo why were the streets empty that early? EDIT: I now realize most people won't get the tongue-in-cheek nature of my comment, as over here 10:30 is considered quite early and most people go out at midnight, with the peak being around 2am.
- jedberg 7y agoIt was a work day and I was in the business area I guess?

- saiya-jin 7y agoAdd mosquitoes during those summers. Land of thousands of lakes has gazillions of them. Bigger ones then I was used from central Europe. Don't transmit any diseases, but boy having 50-100 stings on any non-covered part of the body is pretty annoying. After a week I've got used to it, you cover whatever you can, and unless you scratch them, stings become easy to ignore. We met a guy who was hitchhiking, so had to stick out his arm. Afterwards he counted 168 bites on a single arm.
