Anyone here from Finland?

[Azonic]

Hey,
Im on holiday in Finland atm and have 1 week left and was wondering what there is to see/do before i go? I am staying near helsinki and have been to linnanmaki, been in a sauna, going shooting, been to a cabin and eaten finnish food and drunk finnish beer. What else is there that i have to do before i leave? Any suggestions welcome, well anything not too boring like seeing statues or crap like that
Thanks
Az

Ey! F*ck you!

Yeah, i'm finnish, Teh seel lives(atm) in helsinki, so if you dare, go to a bar in helsinki named "heavy corner" and look for a bearded, longhaired drunk guy..

No wait...that's about 90% of finnish people

LOL just had a drink called a long drink or something, was like smirnoff ice but not fizzy and it wasnt too bad although a bit girly. Heard that the swedes when they come over they drink it and get wasted. Any other drinks to try?

Toto likes to THINK he's Finnish, but he's actually Gamah's flat mate.

Not unless toto is actually a red head girl irl who is having relations with gam gams >_<

I'd say the women are the best and only thing to see in Helsinki.

But then, they are better than the Eiffel Tower and the pyramids combined!


Oh and a, i dunno if this falls in to the category of "boring" but you might wanna see Suomenlinna. Its an old castle near the coast

 

[Azonic]

hehe yeah im going there next week, remember going there as a kid with a torch looking around the dungeons for skeletons

 

[Overdriven]

@Toht: joo joo joo!

(Yes I've just learnt what that means in Finnish)

..and Markus you bloody Fin, asking what to do in your homeland is shameful! You should have instinct on these matters!

Yeah I am finnish but havent lived here for 17 years, so its hard knowing what to do unless it involves staying in cabins in the woods or having a sauna and beating myself with beech leaves >_<
Interesting fact about finland- The are almost 0 chavs, however there are thousands of metlers (even a real word for people who like metal music??) wearing all black, having silly red hair and wearing big army boots with a band t-shirt (ie metallica) seems to be all the rage.
Also seriously WTF at a coca-cola brand called Lordi with the lead singers face on it...

Metaller is more common.

Never heard metler. Though sounds cool and really "ze german" word

Yeah there' lots of us metlers round, and black clothes, army boots, quite normal clothing. It's the promised land of metal, well, our capitol is Hell-sinki

Lordi cola tastes great

 

[Lamp]

black clothes, army boots

Even for job interviews ?

Actually i don't have army boots, i'm fluffy that way. More of a rocker, or off it really.

Last few interviews i've had the shave, tie hair, bit of suit thingy going, but to the next one i'm gonna say "F*ck it" and go in with skulls on my head, arms and arse and flip a bird to anyone looking twice...bet i'll get it too

actually i thing chavs is a British phenomenon? Or is there any other country that has them?

we got those!

 

[old.Tohtori]

Arn't chavs like, wannab rich people?

Atleast from what i've understood/misunderstood about them.

There was a video about them on another thread, chipeating or some such fluffernutter thing, and i thought they seemed rather normal. As in, normal British, with the accent and, well, yes. Nothing "noticeable" i'd say. I think brtain has more of this "high class/low class/middle class" culture thing going on, and chavs are only "born" in those places. Could be, and probably am, totally wrong, but still.

So no, we don't probably have them, or might, and some brits might come here and go "Oh look at those chavs!" and we'd be..."The mhmmhmhm'sons? No, certainly not, they're just...swedish."

Well, i guess our chavs are those half swedish peeps.

Sons and such, svenriksons, tuttersons and....sons! Not many dottirs here, no, just sons. Must be a gay thing.

I dunno
