  • The title seems like exaggarating, but it's NOT!! :)

    Really, if you come in the summer, buy mosquito poison... YOU'LL NEED IT!! There are many options you can pick of: mosquito oil, mosquito spray, mosquito smoke (to put on the terrace..) mosquito cream... Use a mosquito net if you're backpacking on swamps or such places..

    And the mosquito noise is terrible in the night...NJJJNNNJNNNNNNNNN...

    Warnings Or Dangers: Winter fashion!

  • In the winter it can get really cold, so it's not enough to take just one extra jacket, take a real quilted jacket or something as warm... Youth in Finland wear snowboarding-jackets and woolen cloth jackets in the winter... of course there are many kinds of jackets in the fashion markets! ;)

    The best way of clothing is layers. Wear warm underwear, normal daily clothes on top of them, then an extra shirt (woolen or warm cotton) and make sure you have good socks. On top of all this, put your jacket (if doing winter sports, also winter trousers). Always wear a warm hat, a scarf and gloves. Warm shoes are also important. This might sound like a lot of clothes, but Finnish youth have found a stylish way to carry all these layers of cloth! XD Just walk on the streets and you'll see!

    (If i'll get a chance, I'll take pictures of me and my school friends in winter clothes when the winter comes - both in sporty and city outfits!)

    If you don't wear warm clothes, you're sure to catch a flue. But if you wear them, you'll enjoy a pleasurable day outside doing sports!!
