FINLAND
A LITTLE ABOUT FINLAND
Three weeks in the capital city of Helsinki allowed me to taste its foods (of course) and its peculiar November weather. It has an attitude.
Got to see the end of autumn, got drenched in the rain almost everyday, and also was lucky enough to see some snow. Ate reindeer meat and other rather peculiar dishes. Met some of the most polite people I’ve ever met.
Did I become happy in the world’s happiest country?
