Photos from Finland

Finland is great! Had a fantastic time with Saara and hope I can go back someday sooner rather than later. The Finnish are probably the nicest people I've met in Europe so far. Fuck Faliraki, go to Finland!


Insane ice formations in Tampere...


It's a Moooooomin! It reduces me to the wobbly-kneed behaviour of a Japanese teen girl screaming "it's so cuuuute!" If it weren't made of cold bronze I'd even press my cheek against it in adoration.


Whereas I would not press my cheek against Harry Potter's face since he might take my eye out with his schnozz. My god the Finnish Harry Potter is a fugly mothafucka, isn't he?


Nesting with the ducks of Tampere.


Fantastic Finnish pendolino trains, clean and run on time, replete with 1960s retro future space chic.


View of passing countryside. The big thaw has started in the cities, but the countryside is still under thick, unblemished snow.


Walking on the frozen sea in the port of Helsinki. The land masses ahead are islands!


Saara on the frozen sea, heart pumping and mucho pissed off after I had successfully faked falling through the ice.


Tired of walking all day, we hired giant turtles to carry us home.


Nesting with the ducks in Tampere was obviously a mistake - in Turku we unwittingly became their leaders for a few minutes.


Always keen to find a new source of renewable energy, Finland stores all its farts here, in the Death Star. With smell to match.


My new favourite Finnish word (I only know about five). I reckon this would translate into French as "frottez le parakeet"


This squirrel wants your nutties!


Nutties!
