Well… not to offend any Finns out here… but I wanted to visit her while she was abroad. Her winter break was pretty deep into the fall for that far north, and there is only about six hours a day of daylight in Helsinki at Christmas! So we decided to travel together in the region for a couple of weeks prior to the start of her semester in the fall. So we traveled in Sweden and Finland. Gotta say… if I win the lottery, I am going to figure out how to move to Sweden (not Finland). Your news segment impression has some basis in reality, IMHO. My D did have a pretty good semester, although most of the friends she made were other international students (not Finnish kids).
