MY FIRST WEEK IN FINLAND

"Silence is the key..."

My first week in Finland has been great!

I’m a little tired because of all the things I had to do in these last seven days but, believe me folks, it’s a priceless sensation. Everything around me is Finnish!

Here is all that I’ve learned this week:

• Milk without lactose in Finnish is called “Laktoositon Maito"
• The daily ticket for domestic transport is called “Seutu”
• Train, tram and bus are always in time
• Never go to Ikea in the afternoon because the last bus (for go back at home) is at 6 pm
• Finnish houses are warmth inside and when you arrive at home you have less than 2 minutes for get undress or you’ll have a little sauna and you can test by yourself an advanced diet program in which you can loose 1 kilo per minute!
• Finnish people are crazy, funny, polite, friendly and odd but I love them anyway!
• In Finland you can have a sunny and nicely day in the morning and cold and snow in the evening
• In Finland you don’t find swallows or pigeons, you’ll find seagulls! They are everywhere! And of course, in according with the gothic style, the grey crows of course
• If you ask a Finn for a piece of information about streets o places you are looking for, he would be sure you reach it and he’ll see you at that street or place if necessary
• Speak in Finnish with the Finns and you’ll make them very happy!

Finland is the Country where I belong…
