langurmonkey: This is usually true but I hate heat and humidity so much, Finland sounds like paradise. Too bad, there is no Finnish Foreign Legion, I'd join in a second. And I've experienced how cold it is in Finland and loved it. The only thing that bothers me about Finnish winters is the lack of sun.
I dont mind the cold as such, just all the cold weather related issues like finding/buying winter clothes for kids, storing them somewhere, not being able to do summer sports outside for more than half of the year, cold+wet weather=terrible etc About the sun i dont really care, we have this thing called "electric lights" in Finland and they work 99,9% of the time :p
