Things I love about Finland #101

Sitting in petrol station cafes - the hub of the community.

Watching the Nordic walkers come in for a rest and caffeine, the local kids in slipknot t-shirts just hang, the families take the lounas buffet.

Best of all watching a family man break the monotony of the public holiday by carefully stretching his "ocky strap" around his beer, firmly attaching it to the rear of his bicycle, and cycling off, one hand behind, reassuringly patted his beloved beer on the back.
