^ haha, Kaitalampi is a great place, was quite close to the place I used to live :P Well, it isn't so good for swiming, but it has gorgeous landskape and good fishing waters.

and well, Kaitalampi is a pool... :P doesn't quite tell you anything so:
A small and rather deep collection of (usually) fresh water, as one supplied by a spring, or occurring in the course of a stream; a reservoir for water; as, the pools of Solomon

and in english it would be Narrowpool :P It takes ~3-4hrs to walk around it.

so, if you go there, go with time, take a fishing rod with you (the one that uses worms or other stuff, shrimps or batter are quite good as well) since, you don't need fishing license for that, buy some sausages (there should be places where you can prepare them in Kaitalampi) and few cans of beer and enjoy finnish nature, I can't promise you get any fish, but at least you get to enjoy your time. :P oh, and you must grill the sausages on fire :P

Just say to your friend ''we are going to really popular place.''
:P you won't meet many people if you go on weekday.

Neither of us fish so that's out, but I was thinking it might make for a final relaxing day before we fly back, which would make it a Saturday. Then of course, back to civilisation to get hammered.

EDIT: It just occurred to me how small Finland's population is. There are twice that many people living in London, and 10x that in England o_O

^ yah, so I can quarentee, you can have time for yourself, actualy, outside of pubs, no one wont even talk to you, they may look at you and seem to be interested, but they wont start talking to you, if you don't talk to them 1st.

but well, even if you don't fish, you can do many other things aswell, you can walk around the pool and look at the landskape.

rostheferret:
Hah, no different than here then. The English aren't known for being the most outwardly sociable bunch, though I always thought the Finnish were known as being amongst the friendliest people in Europe? Y'know, how the Germans go about holidays as though it was still a war, how the French make every room smell and complain a lot, the Americans are all overweight morons you want to pat on the head like a lost puppy, etc, etc.

^ well, the thing is, Finnish people are shy, if not drunk :P so, we are really friendly if you come to talk to us :P but we wont come and start talking to you, many will think that if they would come and talk to you, they would bother you.
and in a lobby, that is the place where many start to chit chat with the person right next to themselfs. because, silence does bother people, why do I listen music always? I hate total silent I like to talk, but I like to talk only about the things that interest me.
