Dial F for Finland

Finland wasn’t that cold. The town looks more urban than Copenhagen, yet it must be very boring to live in there. I’ve been busy with work most of the time and didn’t do anything else apart from theater and drinking. We mostly worked and drank in the same room. One night when my colleagues and I went to the Moscow Bar—aka Kaurismäki bar—for a change, the bartender asked us to keep quite. Finland is a quite country, resembling death.
I never understood people who travel to see different places just for the sake of it. Now that I have been in Helsinki, I can say that I could live without it. It didn’t add anything to me. Of course I can now say that I’ve been there. But so fucking what?

There is only one thing that is interesting about Helsinki: it is not allowed to feed the birds there. I didn’t see any birds however but I was thinking that when Finish teenagers are mad at their parents, instead of doing drugs or hooliganism, they show their sense of rebellion by feeding birds. That’s original, eh?
