Monologue @ Suomi

Floorball

Floorball is a relatively newly developed team sport.

Looks like icehokcey a little bit but tackling is prohibited so you don't need special gears.

It's a fun sport.

For smaller numbers of people, goals are covered with a wooden board instead of placing goal keepers.

Cross country ski is very fun and can be very effective sports that people can enjoy easily in Finland.

Lots of people drvie for 20-30 min and go to the frozen sea to do it.

There are no other fees needed if one has skiing equipment.

Ordinary Finnish people ski 10km per hour if they just take it easy, accoring to some source.

It took me 3 hours to ski 6km when I skied for the first time, then after that, I couldn't event walk properly.

Sled is also fun activity for children.

Yes it is cold and outside temperature is around minus 10.

People go for swimming outside after taking sauna.

Sunrise today at 8:41. Sunset today at 16:27. Length of day is 7 h 46 min.

Days are getting longer and sunlight is getting stronger little by little.

Snowflakes are so beautiful!

The is one of the few things I will miss when spring comes.

Mid season and mid week so stadium was not full but so much fun to be there, Finland's largest indoor stadium, Hartwall areena .

With reservation, visitors can enjoy watching games while eating in the restaurant.

There are even sauna and VIP rooms in the stadium.

Convenience store and hanburger shops.

Home team, Jokerit (pronounced as Yokerit) won in additional time.

Jokerit's character "Joker" was also glad at the result of the game.

Sun rises 8:41 and sets 15:32. Length of day is 6 h 51 min.

Unusally snowing a lot in this timing of the year.

Amazingly shovel cars come very frequently to every street of the city to remove the pile of snow.

This is the snow country.
