If you come from UK then there isn't really anything that interesting in Helsinki music wise, unless you want to go check out local metal or punk scene.
Tavastia might be worth visiting depending on the live show. Same goes for Apollo Live and Club Liberte(free WLAN).
3rd Line is worth it if you want a smaller place.
As for underground club you can probably ditch that idea there isn't really any.
Also not a single killer electronic one.

You could always see if you can find some university summer lectures and see if there's anything interesting. They're open to everyone who just happens to walk in. (except medical)

All in all Tallinn is a lot more interesting city than Helsinki, at least it has an old town. And it's like 1/4th of the price.

Oh and Helsinki is a terrible place to get around. The public transportation absolutely sucks, getting from A to B takes a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time unless they're on the direct tram or metro rails. Buses take forever since they do all kinds of stupid curves and route planing is horrible. Usually the easiest way to get from A to B is take a bus to the central railway station and another one from there.

PS. Finland is considered Western Europe.

I wasn't sure. I always thought "west enough" but no offence intended. Like I said, the music uni is on my list so we'll hit that early on, if not the first day. Tavastia is playing bugger all but I thought might be worth seeing anyway (or not on gig nights?). Im a metal fiend (and critic!) so if theres better let me know.

I'll be there 18-20th, so if anyones bored and wants a free pint (my friend will be too drunk to notice) let me know in pm, I'll send you a way to contact us.

Of the Scandinavian countries, Finland is probably the best. Winter War earns my respect.

August is hardly summer anymore in Finland, it tends to just get colder from the beginning of August.

Ah, I came at the end

But it's better if it's not hot anyway.

I'm surprised at the small range of temperatures that Helsinki experiences, though. Toronto's range is greater.

Your sources are totally fucked up. That doesn't hold true.
They usually range from -30 celcius to +30 celcious. Helsinki is a coastal city so it's a little less than elsewhere in Finland.

Eastern/Northern Finland is usually -40 to +30. On Russian wind years like this and the last, it's between -50 and +40, on european wind years it's usually -20 to +30.

BTW have we seen a picture of tomoya?
When and how did you travel to helsinki and from helsinki?
You traveling alone?

^ well, the thing is, Finnish people are shy, if not drunk so, we are really friendly if you come to talk to us 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.

Some people could think this as very rude behavior, but usually people don't speak to each other in finland. (unless drunk) So I will aprove of your behavior and usually the two of us are the ones who get people to listen to our debates and they may think we are a bother. Thank god we don't care and it's easy to continue when no one is telling you to shut up. Even if they would like to.

Yeah and the best country in the world award. Well lets just say we have things better here than most places, but that is because we are a small and young nation. Soon we will be there selling our individuality with all other nations as time goes by. Funny thing is that people of finland tend to be rasist on some degree. You other countries have them too, sorry it's just a fact and as long as people don't support unity, then go fu** off and live on an deserted island.

Welcome to Finland the land of the Mickey Mouse bullsh**.

Yup, when it comes down to stuff that do not really matter. When you need to do something important, you somehow forget this stuff.
I wonder why? Does it have something to do with, how you don't like to be told what to do? I wonder...
