I am in Finland now

After suffering from the horrible night in Hxxxxrow airport including mice and other things, I am finally in Finland. In the Helsinki airport I saw the only Finnish word I know 'tervetuloa'. Welcome. Well, thank you, that's very nice.

Here began my journey! I love Finland, since I am a big fan of some Finnish bands. Also, When I read the information on the net I thought OMG! I totally have Finnish personality (Where comes the confidence, indeed?). But, just as I said before, when it comes to another culture, people never be prepared.

Finnish people are rather calm and cool, as their weather. Gosh, it is June and I just saw the snow! Alright that's fine, I was surprised by the same thing when I visited Muenchen this April, at the same time I could wear one T-shirt roaming around the accommodation in Nottingham. I still consider they are friendly, they gave or answered EXACTLY what I want. No smile or other useless things. If I live longer as a resident here, I definitely would love this kind of interaction. But it seems to be a little bit cruel for a Finland beginner.

And they do not waste anything here, including the human recourse. No reception in the hotel I booked, they sent me a text (Finnish style!!! you see!!!) and told me the code of my room, so I could check in by myself. Then when I went to the supermarket, I firstly saw no one, but when I finished the shopping and the keeper appeared! It seemed that he was counting something back in the store. Really, I did not meet any of those situations when I was in England, Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands.............

That's Finland.

I still love it, for one more reason, people here ignore me.

P.s. I am really lucky that the hotel is near Hellsinki the heavy metal store!! Must go there. Also the Moomin store~~~~~~
