Has anybody here been to Finland?

I have been to Finland last year and it didn't quite leave such a good impression on me! I have only seen Helsinki and it was a quick visit as I was actually supposed to arrive to Tallinn. The architecture is quite cold and there are other cities I've seen in Europe that I liked a lot more. Anyway, maybe my impression is wrong. Also, it's really weird that it didn't seem to me that nights are nights completely (it darkends around 12-1 and the light comes back at about 4)..

I've been in Finland quite often as I have friends there. I don't understand much of the language, I know thank you and f..k you :-) The weather is about as here (Norway), but with colder winters and warmer summers as they have more inland climate. I've been there in all seasons, and I would recommend summer or autumn unless you go there to ski. Lots of snow in the winter if the north, but the south is normally quite bleak and dreary.

I've never been to Finland. I know their language is rather... unique, but I don't speak any Finish. As of the weather, with the Global Warming, Finland might become a very pleasant place to live in the near/medium future.
