Good friends of ours moved last year from Berlin to Helsinki, so of course we had to visit! Pooh-poohing the need for sunshine and warmth, we booked a trip for mid-April. It was a very relaxed weekend - hanging out, catching up - just what the doctor ordered. The best part (aside from sitting around the breakfast table and chatting for hours, which really was the best) was getting an inside look at Finnish culture from a rag-tag group (and by this I mean academics mathematicians) of "outsiders" living in Helsinki. These are a few of the things I learned.
