Finland

Welcome to Finland! It is an interesting and unique country. You can expect almost evryone in Helsinki to speak English and you will have no idea of what any sign says. Mostly it is really cold in the winter, although it has been one of the mildest winters on record this year, usually you can expect temperatures or 3 degrees to - 20. So there are mostly indoor activities, AKA partying and drinking (seems to be most of how Finn's spend there leisure time). But you can also play floor ball (like floor hockey) or go to regular indoor activities. There are also many outdoor Ice rinks for hockey or just skating.

This is how we do it in Finland.
The end of Sledgeing (it is spelled correctly according to the Finn's) on Shrove Tuesday.
