Finland
Today, yesterday and the day before, I travelled to Finland with a group of Engineers. We looked at engines. We ate too much food. We laughed at bad jokes about filters, pistons and boilers.
And we saw Finland. I’m sorry to say I cannot recommend it. I’ll just say one thing - we stopped at a roadside cafe that had 15 different kinds of beer, 20 different kinds of crisps, but no fruit whatsoever. I don’t want to judge a country by its fruit content…but there you go.
Maybe I’ll go back and see it in the summer, when everybody says it is more pretty. Or maybe not.
