Both Finland and Japan seem like magical places.

Except being in an apartment designed to retain heat facing the sun that's up nearly all day with no A/C.

But yeah, other than that.

Maybe the mosquitoes.

You gotta go outside and inhale the wild amounts of pollen

Is this the Finnish equivalent to a cockerel crowing in the morning?

Free college education if you can speak the language. As I understand it, no citizenship required.

Don't all countries with a similar climate have countryside like this? I know this could just as easily be the UK, kinda assumed its normal countryside.

[–] nyctre@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The trick is that this picture is taken at 1am or something, I think.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

Ah, Northern Finland then.

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

If you want a 1st hand view of what Finland is like there is a guy who full time rides his bike through different countries (for 7-8 years now) and streams live. He is riding through Finland right now. He is on Kick, Twitch and YouTube. His name is Hitch on the platforms. Been watching the whole trip, it has been wild.
