finland.
ok. i´m heading there, helsinki to be precise, on the 15th may, then heading to åland on the 20th with a friend and we´re parting ways on the 25th when she heads back to london and i head back to rvk. i´m figuring out what to see and do from the 15th to the 19th when she arrives in helsinki. any ideas? also anyone have recommendations about åland? i´m defo going to try to spend a couple of days away from helsinki and me and my friend want to get away from mariehamn and see a bit of the islands but to be honest i can´t say i know too much about finland....

Finland, Finland, Finland, The country where I want to be, Pony trekking or camping, Or just watching TV. Finland, Finland, Finland. It's the country for me. You're so near to Russia, So far from Japan, Quite a long way from Cairo, Lots of miles from Vietnam. Finland, Finland, Finland, The country where I want to be, Eating breakfast or dinner, Or snack lunch in the hall. Finland, Finland, Finland. Finland has it all. You're so sadly neglected And often ignored, A poor second to Belgium, When going abroad. Finland, Finland, Finland, The country where I quite want to be, Your mountains so lofty, Your treetops so tall. Finland, Finland, Finland. Finland has it all. Finland, Finland, Finland, The country where I quite want to be, Your mountains so lofty, Your treetops so tall. Finland, Finland, Finland. Finland has it all.

It's been seven years since I was last there... I loved it. Though I have to say when I see their signs it looks like they have too many consonants (always makes me think of that short story A Sound of Thunder.

that's quite a bit of travelling around...
helsinki and turku: beautiful finnish-speaking women vaasa and mariehamn: beautiful finnish-swedish speaking women *sigh* Avoid the beer, it's awful (Olvi and Karhu are the better of a bad lot). Stick to the Finlandia if you can, Kossu if you must. EXCEPT for salmiakkikossu... Mmmmm...
