Finland remains one of Europe's coolest countries as heavy rain looms

Finland will enjoy another spell of warm and sunny weather over the coming days, but temperatures remain well below those seen across much of Europe, where many regions continue to experience heat of around 30 degrees Celsius or more.

Another reason to love Finland!

We had gone to Zurich and Paris in August a couple of years ago and it was so damn hot. There was no AC either in the trams in Zurich. We were travelling in a greenhouse! When taking a seat we tried to sit in the area away from where the sunlight was direct.

No such problems here.

Geography is four-dimensional | Derek Sivers by

Forty years ago, a family moved from India to Canada, and raised their children with “Indian values”. When those children visited India last year, the locals laughed at their outdated beliefs. What their family had said were facts were just a perspective from 1980.

I have had this feeling many times in the past. Our memories of places seem stuck in time. Some things change, some don’t.

Like super-fast delivery services exploded while I was in Finland. It was a surprise to know, when I first did it, that I could place an order and it will be at home in ~ 10 mins.

Time is the fourth dimension.
