» Amanda Kendle - What was the best/worst part about your visit to Finland?

In response to What was the best/worst part about your visit to Finland? posted by lisamarie71:


NOW you tell me about the Tex-Mex! I already made this mistake in Helsinki.

I loved my trip to Finland, both Helsinki (laid-back feeling, pretty, nice architecture) and the Arctic Circle. The people were so friendly - people had warned me that Finns were typically very quiet but I didn't experience this at all!!! (quite the opposite). I was there right on winter solstice time, and the novelty of having nearly no sunlight wore of relatively fast, so next time I'd love to experience the long, long summer nights. And I have to agree about the food. I remember the breakfasts in the hotel in Rovaniemi - salads were part of the buffet, and the lettuce, and red and green peppers had obviously been frozen and thawed out - really not so tasty.
The other great thing was that long-distance trains were cheap (well, cheap compared to everything else ...)
Oh, now I'm pining for another Finnish holiday ...
cheers
Amanda
