Final comments

finland is a very beautiful country and the people are very nice, but it gets some time to get in touch with them, you need to be patient. travelling is expensive but there are special discounts for students. it is something to do because finland is different from anything else, specially from the european southern countries. one of the things i liked the most was SAUNA, it is something one has to experience at least once in a lifetime
