Helsinki elected the best city to live in (HS.fi):

The british magazine Monocle has elected Helsinki the best city to live in this year.

Monocle is listing the 25 best cities to live in since 2007.

Helsinki was placed 6th four years ago and has been on the fifth place ever since then. Zurich is on second place, Kopenhagen on the third.

Helsinki was especially praised for the flexible opening times of shops, as well as for the local and international possibilites.

You know you’re Nordic-ghetto when you use this thing to wash your feet AND your crotch.

In Finland it is a superstition that if you are in a forest and you call a bear by ‘bear’ one will appear to eat you. So in Finland they never call the animal ‘bear’  but instead make little pet names and nicknames for it such as Otso, Ohto, Kontio, and metsהn kuningas. (Roughly translating to King of the forest.)

Of course Finland and the Philippines are right beside each other! Just south of Antarctica, I believe.

But seriously, the thing about the geography grad student who didn’t know Bulgaria is a country: true story. I’d always thought “jaw-droppingly” was metaphorical or something until I realized my mouth was hanging open when I heard that. I agree: there are never words for that.

Korpiklaani - Hide Your Riches

Saari by Hawkea

The next morning we actually got on the ferry!  It was windy!  It was a beautiful 2 hour journey past lots of vastly different island landscapes.  We got into Aland at about 11 pm, on the wrong side of the island, or so we thought.  So I very cheekily went and asked a couple if they were going to Mariehamn, which they were, so they gave us a lift.  We then got to the ferry port, and our ferry wasn’t listed.  We had no idea what to do, but the night before we were meant to stay with some couchsurfers, I had their address, so we turned up at their flat begging for help!  they told us our ferry was actually from where the last ferry dropped us, but we had a few hours to go so we chilled out with them for a little bit!  They then showed us where the bus to the ferry we wanted went from, and after even more stress, got on the ferry and had a very disrupted nights sleep on the way to Stockholm!

HAHAHAHHAHAHAH these old Finnish music videos are the best :”””D

Once, I saw this boy…

Korpiklaani - Hide Your Riches

If you can hear the whisper of the wind
And the words of the woods

If you can hear the whisper of the wind
And the words of the woods

Then you’ll find your way,
Out of the dark to the other side of shroud,
Away from the shroud of mystery,
Away from the shroud of mist

If you have the lasting happiness
And the peace in your heart

If you have the lasting happiness
And the peace in your heart

Then you have to hide your riches
From the hungry hunters,
Away from the filthy animals,
Out of snakes’ reach
