Highlight of the Trip (Huumoria)

Just completed a trip across Finland. Visited Rovaniemi, Oulu, Tampere, Espoo and Helsinki. Such an amazing and very beautiful country.

I’ve tried mustamakkara, riisipiirakka, runebergintorttu, watched the mighty Tappara at the Nokia Areena, crossed the Arctic Circle, visited the Moomin Museum, walked across frozen bodies of water and even watched Thank God sä Tulit on MTV3.

However, the highlight of the trip was as me and my partner (native Finn) were walking back from some skiing at Ruskotunturi in Oulu.

I saw a hole in the ice and thought I’d take the opportunity to catch myself some fish. As I had left my fishing rod back in the UK, I had to think fast and armed myself with some rye bread.

All it took was for me to drop the rye bread into the hole and to start singing Sankarit and the fish leapt out from the ice and into my arms!

Jokes aside, Finland is a really special place. Especially in the winter.

Thank you very much!
