Helsinki, Western Finland, Finland
Helsinki is great in the Summer and Autumn. The nights are full of light. Start out by taking the Bus/Walking Audio tour, it gives you a great oppertunity to see and hear the sites, that you should wander in the City by yourselves. Make sure to visit the Senate Square: Includes...University, Cathedral and Government Palace. Market Square across from City Hall is a good shopping place. Take a nice break in Esplanade Park to observe/converse with the Finn's.

Kaamanen, Finland
I never thought before to go to the North Pole, but once i met a friend who went there and told me how amazing is. So, I decided to go with four friends and it have been one of the best experiences in my life. We went during January, therefore, when we arrive it was all complete white. We went from Copenhagen to Ivalo aiport and there we took a taxi until the bus station where we needed to take a bus to Jokitorma/Kaamanen. It was perfect because the bus stopped just in front of our hostel. A wood house between nothing, just snow and silence. Silence. It was the first time in my life that I heard the silence, and it was amazing.
In the hostel we contact with a very nice woman who rent her snowmobilings for us. We met some natural people from there, called Sami's and it was the best thing in our trip. They showed us a lot of things from there, their customs and works. They were farmers of rendieers, an really beutiful animal, more in their natural habitat.
Also this people showed us how they live and they explain us how is Kaamanen in other seasons. How common is to see the Northen Lights and wich is the perfect weather to see it.
In Inari, more or less near to Kaamanen by bus, you can find the Siida Museum, that it's so cheap and really nice. In this museum you can find all the information about Sami's culture as well as about the fauna, weather and all natural things in Lapland. Probably you will see as well expositions of Sami's artists (pictures, clothes, etc) and is really interesting.
Moreover, in Siida there is a open air ice theater! that is sooo cold but very nice. In this ice theater during January they celebrate a Cinema Festival, where they show films of Sami's directors and producers, but also some films from other countries like England, Norway, etc. So some of this films are in finish but also you can see some of them with english subtitles.
Definitly you should go there, but only if you love the nature, to know a really unknown and amazing culture, and if you want to meet a really kind and lovely people.
Kiitos!!

Helsinki, Southern Finland, Finland
Liquor and Cigarettes, along with countless other things, are Tax free in neighboring Tallinn, Estonia. This leads people from Helsinki to make day trips here to stock up 'supplies'. The ferry ride is a comfortable 2 1/2 hours between Helsinki and Tallinn, and it gets you those cool stamps in your passport. How many of you're friends can say, "Oh, and this is the stamp from when we went to Estonia". So if your in either Tallinn or Helsinki, there absolutely NO excuse to not visit the other.

Ylivieska, Oulu Province, Finland
A little bigger countryside city with nothing to do and no one of interest. Mainly you could use the place as a stopping point while going on a beach holiday in neighbouring Kalajoki... 'Cause you'd most likely have to stop here then anyway.
You can use a train or a bus to arrive and leave... and of course a ride in the locals' cars.
During your likely short stay, you can go and visit the local shopping centre Kärkkäinen. As a foreigner, you can observe the outstanding country side people's behaviour. For example, the people who've arrived from neighbouring towns will stop and stare at you if you speak 'a strange language' like English. Also they'll try to turn their head at least 180 degrees to follow you as long as they can see you... or that's what happened to me friend a couple of years ago. In the night time you could visit the local (not that high quality) bars and see people getting sh'tfaced. If you're a girl, some dirty old man will likely try to hit on you while so drunk that he can barely talk. If you're a boy, some guy will probably try to pick a fight with you. People are mostly rather silent and seem rude. Easiest way to find someone to talk with is to see someone who's working and HAS TO talk to you... but that doesn't always work either. Then you've but the high school age kids to try.
A true countryside city experience you'll never forget.

Jarvenpaa, Southern Finland, Finland
Jarvenpaa is "widely" known as the city of Sibelius and a few other artists who have been important in the history of Finland. It is a good city to visit if you want to experience some peaceful life in Finland at day time. There are various possibilities for sports as well. Recently renovated swimming hall and various running tracks (which serve as skiing tracks at winter) are also available.
At night time at weekends things become quite oposite. There are many bars in Jarvenpaa. The best one for young visitors is probably Yano whereas more mature visitors might want to visit McArthurs or Korona.
Teenagers of Jarvenpaa like to hang around at the "Rantapuisto" (literaly Beachpark) which is quite near to the central. Avoiding the area at weekends is advised.

More traditional Finnish foods are rather plain and simple. A lot of the basis are on potatoes, different breads (namely rye bread) and meats (cow, chicken and pig as well as some game meat). The Finns near our waters still use quite a lot of fish, even though not as much as in the past. In the north you still have people growing reindeer, for example, for food. If you end up here during hunting season(s), you might have a chance to taste different game from ducks to moose. Also, the forests produce a big load of berries and mushrooms. Finns drink a lot of milk and eat different milkproducts. You'll meet a lot of differend sausages as well, even though the more traditional one's are not that meaty. The most traditional very much used spice is salt.
Nowadays people use a lot of rice and pasta on the side of potatoes as the basis of the food. People still eat a lot of bread (wheat, rye, oat, barley). Yoghurt is very popular in variety of tastes. Most popular cheese's tend to be Edam and Emmental. Cucumber, tomatoe, salads, onions etc. basics are very much used. Most easily found fruits are banana, apple and orange but of course you've several other choices available as well. Meat sold in the shops is mostly beef, pork and chicken with some fish selection varying from area to another. People have started to add some spice to their food too. All sorts of semifinished foods are favoured by the too lazy (often tell you they're too busy) to cook people.
Spicyness: More spicy than Japanese food but less spicy than almost everything else.
Foreign food culture in Finland: All sorts of burger joints and pizza places are wide spread. You can find a kebab place almost everywhere too. Chinese food and Thai food are available in the medium to big cities (note: Finnish medium sized city is a 'nice small city' to many of you out there). Mainly Helsinki has a bigger selection of restaurants from Korean restaurant to a lot more. If you want to cook exotic foods yourself, you better stick to cities of at least 50 000 people to find okay to proper shops.
Special Finnish food: There are not too many special foods in Finland but here are a few selected dishes of interest:
[food]
leipäjuusto (Finnish squeeky cheese), lakka (cloudberry), poro (reideer), hirvi (moose), puolukka (lingonberry), mustikka (blueberry), karjalanpiirakka (Karelian pie), ruisleipä (rye bread), mämmi, graavilohi (gravlax), lörtsy, maksalaatikko (liver casserole), porkkanalaatikko (carrot casserole), kalakukko, karjalanpaisti (Karelian hot pot), mustamakkara (Tampere black sausage), porilainen, poronkäristys (sautéed reindeer)
[drink]
glögi (mulled wine/spiced wine), sima (Finnish mead), kotikalja (Finnish low-alcohol beer)
Something you find hard to avoid: Coffee. Most people offer it to you. Especially on smaller cities and villages... and it is not that 'grains in cup, add hot water' weakling version.

Oulu is a great place to visit around the year. I suggest summer. It's not that expensive either. The best place to stay is Hotel-spa Eden, which is right next to the sea. It's one of the best spas in Finland, in my opinion. If you have a low budjet, there's a hostel called Turisti opposite the train station. And of course you can go camping, there's a great area for that next to Eden.

Finnish has been the official language since 1863, when it replaced Swedish which had been used in Finland since the 12th century. Swedish is now the second official language.
Finnish belongs to the Finno-Ugric language group, like Estonian.
Sami language is a recognized regional language mainly spoken in Lapland.

Nurmijarvi, Southern Finland, Finland
If you're on the area, visit Nurmijarvi. A pretty famous finnish author Aleksis Kivi lived here and you can see the house he used to live in (I'm not sure if you can go in, though). In the summer there's a fest here called Kivijuhlat. If
you want to learn about finnish customs and culture, that's the place to go. You can even see the Prime Minister of Finland there, who is from Nurmijarvi!
Also if you want to visit Helsinki but think the hotels are too expensive, you can probably find a cheaper one here even with a short notice. Nurmijarvi is about 50km southwest from Helsinki, which is about an hour of driving. Easiest way to come here is to take a bus from Helsinki.

Great place to spend your holidays or to live. Loads of students live here while they study. So you can be a part of the young life here.
During summer you can take a boat trip for 3 hours and sail across the lake Päijänne. During winter you can practise your skills in cross-country skiing or slalom skiing in the ski centre Laajavuori.
The best place to sleep :) is Rantasipi Laajavuori, near the ski centre. The food is great and you can always see friendly faces there.
Good local bus route takes you to the city centre to enjoy the culture, the nightlife and shopping area.
The best place to eat in the centre is probably the Huviretki, where the dishes are beautiful and tasty. Afterwards you can continue your evening by having drinks in various bars and night clubs. Or go and see a movie :D

Great place to live or spend your holiday.
There are so many things you can experience. For example, The Yyteri beach , the Jazz festivals and the variating nature in/out city centre. Various bars and nightclubs welcome you in as well.
People are friendly and take interest in helping others.Though there might be some exceptions...
The best places to sleep are probably the Scandic and Sokos Hotel Vaakuna .
The best places to eat, in my opinion, are: Restaurant Olivo , which is in the same building with Scandic, on the street level. Food is tasty and the dishes look beautiful. Restaurant Galle , really close to Hotel Vaakuna, on the other side of the road. They serve different pastas, steaks, chicken etc. Dishes look nice and food is yummy.
To sum things up... shop till you drop, swim in sea or pools, walk around Kirjurinluoto / forestal area called Isomäki , experience the life in Reposaari and enjoy culture such as music / theathre / art.
Most of all, enjoy the relaxed athmosphere.
