The first 16 pictures explain our country, language and customs in great detail. Also, to be almost on topic, there’s a Jaguar with a woolen sweater on.
Enjoy your Friday.

Only thing I didn't like in Finland was the licourice. I bought a bag of mixed sweets that had some in there, bad move. It's truly, truly, truly disgusting. I tried them, I tried to like them, but they all ended up getting spat out for the reindeer or binned. Did I not say they were truly disgusting?

Let me know when you’re coming, hope there is place in the trunk of your vehicle for a lot of things I don’t need to pay postage for.

Licorice takes some time to adjust to. Not everybody likes it in the beginning. Google mämmi if you want to see what we eat for Easter.

No ta, I tend to avoid anything that is described as an acquired taste. Will stock up on scoobie snacks/food/beer in Poland, which will cost the same in Zlotys as Finnish supermarkets charge in €s.
Could bring a crate or two of stuff for you (plenty of space) but the nearest I'll be to Helsinki is Kuhmo. Assuming the car gets that far.

If you've not seen it before, kajtzu, you might like Scandinavia & the World comic with occasional Finnish fun.Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana
