I gave up my career at 55 to move to a cabin in Finland with my best friend. I get why locals are so happy — now I am, too. (4) whiteguyinchina from private IP, post #10927203 - Mon, 24 Feb 2025 17:43:05 -0800

I loved how they did karaoke and thought summer sunsets at 12 am were the craziest thing I ever experienced. If I had been there a month earlier, I think it would have always been daylight. Helsinki was too industrial for me and sort of depressing, I really liked Kitee though. More of a Baltic feel versus a Nordic/Scandi feel. I ended up in Kitee because this guy was a Nightwish fan. Metal is sooooo NOT my thing, but it was still an interesting trip. I really don't like how they eat fishy fish in Finland though. As I get older, I realize I'm not too much of a seafood person. I mean I like some things like sushi sometimes and calamari and baccala on Christmas Eve, although now I opt for the unsalted cod. Otherwise, I can do without all that super fishy seafood. I sometimes like fried cod sandwiches and fish and chips, but the fish in Finland was just too fishy. My best meal was at this Russian restaurant in Helsinki when I ate blini.
