Living in Finland for more than 4 years have exposed me to certain practices and even nature which are outright foreign and unfamiliar to me. I find myself wondering how places can differ in terms of culture, heritage, and history, yet the people look the same. Well not quite physically, but biologically.
Finland is one country with very lovely and awe striking nature. The air is so clean, the weather, eeeh, can be great sometimes, especially during the midsummer week, but most times is dark and cold. Well that isn’t such a big deal if you know how to dress properly and also find ways to enjoy each weather and what it brings with it. And the bright midsummer days are something to look forward to. There are alot of interesting facts about Finland that every visitor would find quite enchanting.
