A week in Finland

Three years ago, in the summer of 2006, I went with four friends in Finland. Crazy! I had never traveled so far. It was the first time I traveled outside Spain. And I went to the end of the world.

We spent ten days in Helsinki and Turku. In Turku we enjoyed a rock festival: Ruisrock. Of those three-day festival I took several conclusions about the Finns: are drunkards and a piggy. They are spitting all day!

But I had the fortune to enjoy many rock bands, some of them very good.

In Helsinki, we were driving all over town, walk its streets, museums, parks and markets ...

Someday, I would like to return to Finland. Perhaps to live there.

This is the words you need to know if you want to travel to Finland:

Anteeksi: I'm sorry. The Finns are very educated, and they constantly say sorry.

Kiitos: thanks.

Paljonko maksaa lippu ... ?: How much does the trip to ... ?

Missä on ... ?: Where is ... ?

Olen Eksynyt: I'm lost.

Mitä kuuluu?: How are you?

Mikä Teidän nimenne on?: What's your name?

Nimeni on ... : My name is ...

Puhutteko te englatia / espanjaa / italiae / ranskaa / saskaa?:
Do you speak English / Spanish / Italian / French / German?

Finally, if you do not know Finnish, you can speak English. Almost all Finns speak English. So, don't panic! Finland is a good country to travel. It's safe, quiet and pretty.
