I had to chose one of your great photos to add to my favourites, which was a pretty hard task. I ended up with this one because of the peculiar atmosphere which reminds me of quite a certain mood that I tend to have when the weather is like this.

I had to add something from your gallery to my favourites, although it was pretty hard to decide which one. I chose this one because it reminds me of something... that certain mood that I have when the weather is like this.

and I'm glad that I'm not alone too with my mood that I wanted to share by this photo and others
Yes, I live in Russia in Siberia, far away from Europe, but many finnish bands are known here, such as HIM, Negative, Amorphis, Korpiklaani, they have here many fans Uniklubi is less famous, but have some fans here too. I know the name Uniklubi for 5-6 years, but discovered them to me in this winter.. and it was "shot through the heart" their music is wonderful. and finnish language just adding more charm. they was my general inspirers in winter and still they're too
in other countries there are many good bands too, but finnish are "knocking in my soul" more. and it's not only about music, it's about all.
sorry if I get you boring, I just can speak this theme endlessly

How is it that the tickets are expensive? Are they more expensive than elsewhere in Russia per kilometer? I have been thinking about travelling by train from Finland through Russia to Mongolia and China and so I'm interested in this.

Well prices for railway tickets and other things are lower in Russia than in Finland, but several hundreds of euros are a lot of money for me too. So I won't be able to make that trip for a while, but I'm planning it already so that I will be able to gather some money and maybe to learn some russian. But thanks for the information! It's very useful to me.

Heh, shame on St Petersburg that they don't care about foreign guests.. if they don't have menu on English, they must be able to speak English.. some of them are able even to speak Finnish, because they have places to study it (in contrast to Siberia) . Maybe you just weren't fortunate with restaurant.. But I agree with you, to know Russian is very useful in Russia for a lot of reasons! and for read Dostojevsky too (I'm very surprised and amazed. sincere respect for you!!). he is great writer.
And, if honestly, I want to know Finnish language (I love it from childhood), I planned a trip to Finland for many years ago and saving money for it now, and don't want to be an "alien with phrase-book" or speak only on English I began to study this year by myself, using internet lessons, because in my city there aren't any courses, and listening to my favourite Uniklubi, 51koodia, and some others is very helpful to me
and for more knowledge in Russian language and for more useful info about Russia and Russians you can email me - lighter25@mail.ru. I'll be glad to help

Yeah, why not, if someone of my favourite bands will play there in that time, I'll take a chance to see them! maybe it will be not Finnish band that I like (such as Within Temptation, Bon Jovi, Deathstars, etc) or maybe I'll discover to myself a new Finnish band that I don't know.
And the journey, I project it as a tourist trip to Helsinki (maybe not only Helsinki) where I'll stay in hotel for about 7 days and will go sight-seeing, photograph everything, will go to shops and buy some souvenirs to me and my family...and will just walking on the streets and being happy also I want to go to forest, to see lakes, to eat finnish food, to go to the rock bands performances.. don't know how much it all will be possible maybe these plans will change and I'll go with tourist group, it will depend of cost. I'm planning this trip in october-november (if my job let me go).
you may write me further better on facebook
