Partying in Helsinki Finland is pretty much required if you are a student and want to have a social life and meet people. Almost all Finnish celebrations revolve around getting drunk. The clubs and bars are fun and expensive, the scene gets played quickly so enjoy the novelties of the bars then you probably wont go there again, unless it's 1 euro beer night.

I recently went on a week trip to Lapland in Northern Finland. Lapland is only the Finnish area of Sápmi that crosses over Russia, Sweden, Norway and Finland. This area is still inhabited by the Sami people, the indigenous of northern Europe. Mostly the area is supported by tourism and Reindeer farming. It was a great trip, my first in the arctic circle, we did a lot of outdoor activities and the people were great. scroll down to see the fun.
Me and Luca. Transport. Rovaniemi, Just outside the arctic circle.Miko Our fearless leader and tour guide.Cruzing in the Buss, Deluxe style. First stop the Santa Village.Octavian and me. The only pic I got of Santa, the Profiteer wanted $50 or 30 euros for a pic. I thought I would build a snow man to teach Santa some good spirit. Inspired By Shaun.
Reindeer: "Why is this camera so close to me." This was the big rein deer, but not the boss of the farm. Maggie and Martin.

This was an ASK ESN (student union for Arcada) event for any one who wanted to be involved. Basically we just rented out this Sauna cabin by a campground. We took the metro there went in the sauna and cooled off outside and in the FROZEN LAKE It was quite invigorating. It was mostly authentic Finnish style except we didn't go naked as the Finns always do(apparently it's more hygienic??? I don't know what they think Hygienic is. Enjoy the Pics.

The dock has a pump attached so the water doesn't freeze by the ladder.
Ice cold just like cliff jumping in BC, except it's winter not summer.
