>>2895110why do incels find everything normal cringe?
You could investigate the local ladyboy scene and report back.
>>2895100September can be beautiful with all the autumn leaves but the weather starts to be chilly.In Helsinki>ateneum for art>seurasaari for outdoor museum of traditional living>sompasauna is a free public sauna>kallio for beers and partys>kotkot for best chicken burgers I have every eatenAlso for other restaurants, there is usually lunch menu from 11 to 14/15 which is noticeably cheaper than regular menu.September is still nice camping season and can recommend going to Saimaa region or Turku archipelago for camping. Maybe rent a cabin in the woods in either of those for few days to find peace of mind. Very traditional way of relaxing here. Visiting Lapland is nice, but it's far away, and desu rather go to Swedish Lapland around Kiruna for nicer views but similar distance away. Turku is the old capital of Finland and has rich history as well. Porvoo has nice old town just 40 minute drive from Helsinki. Tallinn in Estonia is 2 hour ferry ride away and easy to waste a day or two in there as well. Maybe take a overnight ferry cruise and usually there is people getting wasted on the boat on weekends. Always a good time. People can be cold, but usually more open for a chat when drinking or for some weird reason, in sauna. Foodwise taste salmon soup, karelian pies, reindeer or moose with mashed potatoes and for sweets taste salmiakki and korvapuusti.
What are my odds of getting laid in Finland as a 5'10" sort of fat Chud?Are the women sick of banging 6 foot plus blonde chads over there where I may seem like an exotic pick?
>>2895256similar odds to you getting laid at home
>>2895258It's Joever
>>2895100>What should I do in Finland for 3 weeks in September?Try to avoid getting bitten by a mosquito.
>>2895126>>2895126>dude, a cafe... and another one... and ANOTHER oneFucking why even travel at that point? Japan's coffee scene is arguably better anyway, its just their cakes are shit. What about the nature? Sauna anyone? Linnemakki? No...
>>2895100Is the burger king with the sauna still around?
>>2895256>Finns>Chadskekaroo
>>2895100How similar is Finland to Japan in terms of using saunas or bathing? Being nude still required?
>>2896578Yes.
>>2895100Let's see... Spend your first week in the capital region enjoying urban culture, then take the overnight "Santa Claus Express" train to Lapland. Spend the next two weeks chasing the Northern Lights, foraging for wild berries and mushrooms, and hiking through the fiery-colored forests during the spectacular Ruska (autumn) season.
>>2895100Suomenlina is worth a full day.If you like hiking, Nuuksio in September is very nice.
>>2895100I was thinking of going in august for 1 week, staying in helsinki and going to nearby places by train, can you move around with public transportations easily or do you need a car?
>>2896662Public transport is good. You can go anywhere in the city. You can also go to nearby towns like Porvoo or Lahti.
>>2896681Bretty good
>>2895100I stayed in Helsinki in October 10 years ago. I stayed in an AirBnB with my gf. The restaurants didn't blow me away but it was a nice city. The loud gypsies yelling were jarring, I imagine that it's only more vibrant now. Visited the pier, museum or two, some fortress island by ferry.>>2896681I struggled to figure out the tram. I got spoiled by just tapping a card in Japan's trains. Maybe it's easier for urbanites from countries with working public transport.
>>2896707The tram lines have underwent a lot of changes but google maps should be up to date. Recently they've added tap to pay credit/debit cards and apple pay as a payment method on Helsinki public transport. You just have to pay 0,2€ more for the luxury.There is some cultural enrichment in the city center, mostly groups of "troubled youth". Still more of a nuisance than a safety concern.
>>2895100go cwc-spotting in Rauma. You might get lucky and line up with one of his tripspretty funny that he found a country so autistic that he can blend in
Some random recommendations, I won't cover all the most obvious tourist sights in Helsinki. Also in Nuuksio, the national park near Helsinki a lot of the campfire spots are taken over by immigrant families which can be frustrating.Helsinki:-Sompasauna: As mentioned before a free outdoor sauna near the sea with nice views. Volunteer run, frequented by locals and tourists alike, mixed saunas and you can go in swimwear. There's also commercial saunas that double as ice swimming spots in the winter, they're fancier but can be quite expensive.-Viikki/Vanhakaupunki: Viikki is a nature reserve rich with birds about half an hour bus ride from the central railway station. There's a lot to see in the region, for example a museum of technology and a dam with a fish ladder, an arboretum, Kuusiluoto: an island accessible by wooden planks through wetlands (also has sheep grazing freely in the summer months).-Kruunuvuorensilta: the longest bridge in Finland, just finished and made just for trams and pedestrians. You can walk along it to Laajasalo island and take a ferry back to the center for the price of a public transport ticket. The bridge also makes a stop on Korkeasaari, a zoo island.-Sugoi: A japanese style gaming arcade about half an hour from the city center. Has a large and changing lineup of games from retro fighting games to driving games, rhythm games and shmups. Hobbyist-run place, all games are free to play and well kept, you just pay for entry. Check the opening times beforehand. Imho better than most arcades in Japan in the current year.-Taivaskallio: A hill with views of the city and an old anti aircraft battery from WW2. Also has a pond with newts and toads at the top.-Putte's: Imho the best pizza in Helsinki. A bit hipstery, in the evenings turns into more of a bar with loud music. Has a lunch deal. Also hosts live music sometimes in the basement.
>>2896736cont'-Kallio: The best neighborhood for bars and drinking. There's a lot of young people but as per the Finnish drinking culture also plenty of old drunkards. Nowadays also a growing number of zombie style junkies doing alpha-pvp.Imatra: A quiet town on lake Saimaa 2.5h by train from Helsinki.-The river Vuoksi running through city center is called a national landscape. There's a dam and a hydropower plant also right in the city center. Most evenings they run water from the dam and you can watch the water rushing through the channel. Also in the center are glacial potholes or giant's kettles.-Valtionhotelli: I'd stay in this hotel, a jugend style palace building from 1903.-It's also a hotspot for gravel cycling (or cross country skiing in the winter if you're into that xD). A route suggestion that takes you to forests, river Vuoksi shores and the Russian border: outdooractive.fi/fi/route/gravel-pyoeraeily/etelae-karjala/imatran-etelaepiste/800622336/For bike rental try Taiga Activities in the same building as Imatra spa.-Saimaa cycle tour for cycling nuts: In june Imatra hosts a cycling sportive event where the main route is 300km around the lake Saimaa. Smaller routes are also available.-Hinkan saunat: A public sauna and a camping area on the shore of lake Saimaa, beautiful views especially at sunset. Open every day 15-22 from the start of may until october 3rd. Doesn't require you to be naked if you're afraid of that. Fun local atmosphere. They also sell refreshments and sausages that you can grill yourself. Beware that the last hour before closing is called a "hot hour" when the temperature in the sauna is cranked up and the locals damn near burn themselves bathing. Next to the sauna is also a separately run traditional smoke-heated sauna that's open on mondays.
>>2896737Spacing got fucked but starting from the word Imatra it's a different city.
>>2896736Gold, thanks.
>>2896736>SompasaunaHipster party spot>Viikki/VanhakaupunkiIs really lame, don't expect anything special, it's just a generic place with generic museums and generic sights>KruunuvuorensiltaWhy would you even recommend this?It's literally just a generic bridge with nothing to it>SugoiIt's a barren warehouse with a bunch of arcade games, the games are cool but really that's all it is>TaivaskallioIt's just a hill with an old anti aircraft battery, the sort of thing you would check out if you live in the area because why not but for sightseeing it's not worth investing time and effort in>Putte'sReally mediocre by european standards, they host hipster events every now and then>KallioWoke liberal hispter macha latte gender dysphoria hotspot with junkies roaming around freely and it's not like an american hipster area where everything is expensive but actually good, it's just like every other district like that in europe but below average>The river VuoksiGeneric place, worth visiting if you're in the area>ValtionhotelliThis hotel has been on the news lately for being o nthe brink of bankrupcy, nice from the outside but outdated on the inside and overpricedYou will find identical hotels like that all over the baltics and germany that are better and for a fraction of the priceI don't understand why anyone would visit finland for sightseeing, it's just a really uninteresting country and right now the economy is crashing hard so the vibes are really badExpensive and underwhelming, don't try too hard to make it an interesting experienceHow do I know this?I'm half finnish and I grew up there and left the country when I was 19 because I found it boring and bland but now the country's turning into an actual shithole and it has been nothing but downward spiral every since I leftImagine sweden but less interesting and replace aristocratic snobs with autistic alcoholics
Get your face slashed by merkels migrants
>>2895100just walk downtown and do some shopping, from souithern shore of Kaivopuisto to Tuomiokirkko to Kämp shopping mall etc.Suomenlinna is the old heritage spot island with some tunnels and turrets and old sub marine etc.Linnanmäki is a good amusement park on top fhe hill in downtown with great views and rollercoastersYou can visit tampere or Turku too, midfinland is whjere the fresh water lake district starts
Rudest people ever in Finland
>>2895140Sompasauna 1000%Most unforgettable and cool experience I had in Finland. Met a lot of cool Finn's and would go back just to chill there.
>FinlandJust go to Estonia or Sweden. Finland is the dullest and most boring country on the planetEven >>2896736 has had to suggest looking at a bridge or a river, for Christ's sake.
