No wildlife, just bunch of seagulls.
Absolutely no chances at taking decent pictures
Pitch black nights
Nothing to do during winter.
No where to go to enjoy the nature at it's best
You can't even go hiking
The fall colours are pretty blant
Don't even start about the public transportation..
No art that you can enjoy
Cathedral? Whats that
It's like a fairytale. Everyones too old for that.
No good views in Helsinki
Nor in Lapland
It's awful to even try to camp here
Nothing beautiful in Finland. Don't visit here. Leave all the goodies for Finns.
FP Edit: Fuck the FP edits

This sounds like a buzzfeed "article."

It's copypasta from matadornetwork.com , which seems to be a Buzzfeed lite.

Apparently long exposure just made it to Finland too...

It actually left a sour taste in my mouth. There's plenty of beauty to be found even without HDR.

The world is so full of shitty HDR, I can't remember the last time there was a good one on FP.

PhunPhact
Legit question: Is it safe for Blacks to travel to? You can be brutally honest.
sonicpet
Finland does not have that many immigrants nor adopted people - so you will stand out. I think in general people should be pretty accepting.
sonicpet
Just normal touristing or living there, you shouldn't have any issues. But you might want to keep a watch when out at a bar with drunks...
sonicpet
Safe - it should be. In some areas in Helsinki where there's been issues with Somali immigrants, they might be prejudiced.
sonicpet
What you should beware about, is that in some areas there might be aggressive people around bars, looking to fight people.
sonicpet
People have tried starting fights with me too for no reason. These drunkards might select you just because you stand out.
sonicpet
Just keep asking if you want to know more. I'm born and lived 25 years in Finland, now I've lived soon a decade in Sweden
PhunPhact
Thank you so much! I can understand looks if they've never seen a Black person. I was just worried about discrimination and safety. U rock!
TheLesserWeavel
The older (outdying) generation in Norway isn't overly fond of anybody non-scandinavian, but the majority of the young love foreigners. 1/22

I think you'll find that Finland, Norway and Sweden are very safe :) Beware of drunks/drug abusers, but I think that goes for most countries
