The title seems like exaggarating, but it's NOT!! :)
Really, if you come in the summer, buy mosquito poison... YOU'LL NEED IT!! There are many options you can pick of: mosquito oil, mosquito spray, mosquito smoke (to put on the terrace..) mosquito cream... Use a mosquito net if you're backpacking on swamps or such places..
And the mosquito noise is terrible in the night...NJJJNNNJNNNNNNNNN... Leave a Comment

In the winter it can get really cold, so it's not enough to take just one extra jacket, take a real quilted jacket or something as warm... Youth in Finland wear snowboarding-jackets and woolen cloth jackets in the winter... of course there are many kinds of jackets in the fashion markets! ;)
The best way of clothing is layers. Wear warm underwear, normal daily clothes on top of them, then an extra shirt (woolen or warm cotton) and make sure you have good socks. On top of all this, put your jacket (if doing winter sports, also winter trousers). Always wear a warm hat, a scarf and gloves. Warm shoes are also important. This might sound like a lot of clothes, but Finnish youth have found a stylish way to carry all these layers of cloth! XD Just walk on the streets and you'll see!
(If i'll get a chance, I'll take pictures of me and my school friends in winter clothes when the winter comes - both in sporty and city outfits!)
If you don't wear warm clothes, you're sure to catch a flue. But if you wear them, you'll enjoy a pleasurable day outside doing sports!! Leave a Comment

Fact: Some people say that you shouldn't
walk alone in centre in Rovaniemi.
BUT even if it is said that Rovaniemi is the most dangerous town in Finland, if you notice the size of the town (35 000 inhabitants). Hmm... that wasn't from my mouth! I don't think that anyone will attack you!! Absolutely not. And I don't even know where the word "dangerous" came from. I just wanted to say that some people think that this is a dangerous town.
We have drugs and youngsters drinking along the streets (especially on Friday evenings!), but that's 'normal' in Finland.
All the adults don't think in same way that I do!
(I'm trying to tell also the negative things I've heard about Rovaniemi and this may seem that I'm trying to make Rovaniemi to look 'not so tempting' place to visit, but I think this town is worth a visit although it is a small town) Leave a Comment

Becareful!
When you come very first time to Rovaniemi in the summertime, becareful, you might not sleep at all!
Sun is shining 24 hours per day, so you do not know if it is a day or night. That means, in Rovaniemi you can party whole summer without sleeping.
... and in the winter time we have a lot of time to sleep... under the norhthern lights... Leave a Comment

I know this might be really obvious, however! It is really cold and unless you have experienced -20C you don't know!! Hire the thermals! Leave a Comment

If you are staying in a cabin with a fire place, be aware that you must open the flute before you light the fire! They all have flutes. You may have to go upto the mezzinne to open it. Leave a Comment
