Scandinavia reflections

ok first of all i have to add that the new 'content warning' is not becuase any thing out of the blue has happended just that i thought it would be jokes, there is some use for it, and it makes teh blog look cooler.

ok now thats out of the way on to our well welfared friends. finland really suprised me, i thought if anything its the least famous of our scandinavian buddies (except maybe denmark, but who cares about them anyway) and their also a bit different due to there unique language, theyve also been part of either the swedish or the russian empire for like the last 500 years. The thing about Helsinki that i liked the most was that it felt like helsinki, it felt like scandinavia but with a bit of edge u know, something that would set it apart from the rest, and i think it was really cool that we got to stay with nasta and juuli, and met up with siini sanna and anna cos they together managed to show us the cool side and meet some cool finnish people. the fact that i had my birthday there also helped...

stockholm, and i guess the whole of sweden, despite what the swede's from outside stockholm said, is a land of ridiculous. ridiculously beautiful women, ridiculous prices, the town itself is ridiculously nice, and thats the best way to describe it, in terms of the city of stockholm itself nothing stood out to me particularly - well, infact thats a lie because the natural beauty of this city, and it may sound weird talking about the natural beauty of a city, but really is amazing, so green, set on an archepelego i think, or a river estury but in the centre of town, or near enough THE WATER IS SWIMABLE. anyways, the people we met in stockholm were really cool also.

it was a shame we couldnt meet up with the swedish girls living in norway that we met in beijing cos in the words of pierre 'it would have been a right laugh', but our (especially my) wallets wernt big enough and we were getting a bit scared of the costs so thats why we ran back to eastern europe via some ridiculous ferry.

STANDINGS:
the same, we didnt get a sniff...
