Favorite thing: The center of the city is called Rotuaari. It's a walking street where people go to meet each other. Sometimes outdoor concerts are arranged here. The symbol of Rotuaari is a big ball made of stone. It lies on a bed of water, so it can be rotated. Kids like to play with it.
There's many shops and restaurants at Rotuaari. It's a good place to visit if you want to do some shopping.

Favorite thing: See the sunset in summer. Where I come from, sunsets never last longer than a few minutes. But what I saw in Oulu was a completely different thing. The sun started setting as I arrived, and was still continuing the same process after I wandered around looking for a hostel for what felt like hours. I had to take a picture of it at some point although of course, it could never come quite close to the real thing.

Favorite thing: Those nice wooden houses are just by the market square in the centre of Oulu. They are built in old style where you can see such house also in other harbour towns in Finland.

Favorite thing: The best thing is to meet people because they are very nice and very welcoming.
Fondest memory: To do a sauna when the temperature is extremly cold. It's really fun and it's an experiment that I will never forget.

Favorite thing: From Rotuaari you can walk down towards the city square which is located by the sea. This is a good place to buy souveniers. The farmers' market is also here.
