Suomi

Finland is a  Nordic Country, with a population of about 5.3 million and a surface of  about 338.400 km square. As a quick comparison Moldova has got about 4 million people and a surface of 37.700 km square, and this difference in density of population is being very well seen.  The Capital Area (Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa) is very spacious, even in the most crowded places. One who knows, would say for sure that it is not the case for Chisinau.

Finland is very clean and tidy. Amazingly  and unbelievably clean in the eyes of somebody who is acquainted to Moldova or Romania.

Finland is very green (of course in spring and summer time), almost 68% of it’s surface is covered by forests. That’s why in the suburbs area of Helsinki (but not only) one can see these districts with houses surrounded by trees.

All taxis in Helsinki are expensive cars like some really new Mercedes or BMW cars. The price is very expensive accordingly .

There are a lot  of bikes in Helsinki. People use them a lot there.

Helsinki parks don’t quite have benches. People usually stay in the parks in the summer and use blankets for sunbathing, otherwise it is quite cold and they prefer to quickly walk through it.

Butter is being sold in Finland as packs of 500 g.

One can hear Finnish, Swedish, English and Russian on the streets of Helsinki.

Finland is a great country.
