That sounds amazing! How far is Tampere from Helsinki?

I transferred at the Helsinki airport during a trip and that’s how I discovered Moomins!

Also watched few episodes on Finnish Airline.

I was SUPER impressed with the design and serene, eco-friendly atmosphere of the Helsinki Airport. Think the most soothing, peaceful airport I’ve ever been to! Also liked the artistic displays. Really enjoyed the layover!

Big into minimalist Scandi design.

Tampere is about 150km north of Helsinki, so around 1.5h with car or train.

I personally find the Helsinki airport too small, but I do agree it is one of the most peaceful ones 😁

It’s not massive like Heathrow/Gatwick but Finland isn’t that big of a country? I have no idea.

A woman I know went there for a competition and brought back a wooden reindeer keychain prezzie for me.

Do you also know/speak Swedish?

Finnish seems like a very difficult language?

I speak a little swedish. It's our second language but my biases in school prevented me from actually learning it properly.

Finland is a bit weird country in the sence that we have more land than UK combined, yet we only have 5 million people. The language is the same: weird. We have other languages that are in the same language family (such as estonia) but we dont really understand each other. 😁

A friend of mine has been to both Helsinki and Estonia. She’s very talented and super stylish! SF based for now.

I’m pretty damn certain the Finns and I would get along very well! (I’m VERY likable but NOT a People Person! I do like most children tho.)

So how do you feel about Finland being rated #1 in the World’s Happiness Index for so many years?

Why do you think that is?

Btw, I’ve had several Nokia phones and they all lasted for many, many years. QUALITY!

So what do you think of Conan O’Brien? He went to Finland for a visit cuz woman President/P.M. looked like a relative, do you recall that?

I think he’s very funny but he does have a rather large head.
