Is a quiz on Facebook. Rather than clicking on images and posting it to my profile, I thought it would be better to write them down.
How do I love Finland? Let me count the ways… ( up to five .)
#5. Public transport.
This is one of the most amazing public transport networks that I have ever seen. ( Amsterdam, London and Copenhagen also have very impressive transportation networks.) The buses, trams and trains are on time to a fault. And they are plenty, at least in Helsinki.
#4. Nature.
I love the way Finns take care of nature. I love the micro gardens which peep over the balconies of apartments. I love the fact that they do not dump ice into the sea, but have separate areas for doing that.
#3. Work-life balance.
I love it that my managers - past & present - trust me enough for me to work from wherever I want to. I love it that they take delight in the fact that I have a life outside of work. I love it that my colleagues - past and present - are well rounded people, people one can look up to and learn from.
#2. Friends.
I love it that I have made new friends here. I love it that any given day, they reach out to me in real life or via interwebs. I love it that I have met kind, generous and smart human beings who dance to their own rhythms and are cool in their own ways.
#1. Freedom.
I love it that I can walk alone in the middle of the night and live alone in by myself in an apartment. I love it that I can go and buy alcohol on my own. I love it that I can go to a club and dance the
night away, and the fact that men take a No as a No.
I think I found my summer love and he is called Helsinki.
enjoy the summer love! and have a wonderful time!
