Writer's Block: Globetrotting

Finland. Not that I don't love Canada, but I'd like to see Finland, and I understand that most people there speak enough English to take pity on a poor traveler whose entire Finnish vocabulary consists of "Olen pahoillani, mutta olen amerikkalainen". (I am told this means 'I am very sorry, I am only an American'. Or close enough to that meaning that it generally makes Finns I meet online laugh and be reasonably friendly towards me.)

I'll keep that in mind. I'm hoping that if I ever do plan a trip to Scandinavia, I can find areas to stay that have Hostels International locations or something similar- I find that I meet more interesting people and have more interesting local opportunities when I stay in hostels. (As long as I'm home on time at night. The one time I was late getting back to the hostel in Fairbanks, a Japanese man was sleeping in my bunk and I had to sleep on the couch.)
