In the middle of November, followed one day after my trip to
Bruges, I found myself heading to visit a friend who lived in Northern Finland.
It would be a great way for me to disconnect, despite the general populace not speaking
very good English, and me not speaking any Finish except for hello and thank
you. I bought an expensive uber and went to crash out for a night.
The next morning, every uber was busy - except one. Thank
goodness my bus (OnniBus, specifically,) was late by five minutes, or I would
have surely missed it. But, the journey ahead, and a bus with free wifi, I had
plenty of time to catch up on studies and blogging. And, wishing I knew more of
the crazy language.
And somehow it would come to pass, that the sun would set at
3:30 in the afternoon. I was on a bus for right around 10 hours (stopping only
for food in Vaasa that i needed to translate the title of), speeding towards
Kemi, a small coastal town just below Lapland in North Finland.
