Hei from Forssa.

Mitä kuuluu. So here I am again with the rest of the story. We took the bus from Helsinki to Forrsa. Amazing... woods and woods and woods. Some of our Belgians were here earlier in winter and they are amazed to see so many lakes, cause they weren´t there in wintertime. Forssa is a lovely town, based on former cotton industry. Again they did a great job in renovating the old factory into something totally contemporary. Our hotel is a lovely building with lots of charms, and we were all pleased after the sterile rooms of the Cumulus Hotel in Helsinki. These hotelchains look the same all over the world. I actually saw very big rabbits in the garden of the hotel, just in the middle of the centre of town. Again, it´s a very silent town and again I wonder how would it be to live in such a place in wintertime? But the best of Finland is definitely the people. I feel-and with me all the other Belgians- that there is a connection in culture and type of humour. They are so very happy and funny. They invited us in their own houses as if we have known eachother for years. And what a great cooks they are... I even tasted reindeer. Thanks for everything. Always welcome in Belgium. Kiitos.

I will upload some pics later on.
