			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Depending on the location of a city the climate can be very different. Those areas which are located very close to sea enjoy cool winter and mild summer while those located inland experience cold winters and warm summers. For instance at Helsinki, a maritime location, the coldest month stands at -4.5 C which is not so severe for its high latitude while a continental location like Jyvaskyla records a temperature of -8.5 C in its coldest month. Similarly due to its continental location, Jyvaskyla has a midday temperature of 21 C as compared to that of Helsinki of 19 C. This clearly shows that the continental locations are warmer in summer and cooler in winter than those of maritime locations.</p>
<p>The precipitation in Norway is, mostly in the form of snow, due to its northerly location. The precipitation is more in the cities located near the sea due to the northern Atlantic influence than those located farther inland. For instance the total annual precipitation at Helsinki is 642 mm, at Jyvaskyla it is 638 mm while at Sodankyla it is only 507 mm. But even such a moderate precipitation is ample enough to sustain thick vegetation since at higher latitudes; evaporation is less due to lower temperatures.</p>
<p>In short the climate of Finland exhibits both the maritime and continental varieties, depending upon the location of a place. The rainfall, however, is abundant enough to support thick forests.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The last ten-day of June is the time when the daylight is the longest and the night is the shortest in Finland. Finlander set the Saturday between 20th, June and 23rd, June as Midsummer Festival. Midsummer Festival was once an ancient feast day to remember the birth date of Baptist. As the time goes by, Midsummer Festival loses its religion color little by little and becomes a glorious festival of folk feature which is to celebrate the rosiness and the lush of everything on earth.</p>
<p>Finland is quiet. But in this time, numerous families who are all dressed up come to Seurasaari to take part in the every-year bash. We are attracted by a few women dressed in nation clothes when we just step onto Seurasaari after going across the long white bridge. They are wearing white blouses with flowery one-piece dress, head with colorful scarf and flower basket in hand. They attract a lot of travelers to take photos with them as they are so beautiful under the blue sky.</p>
<p>Going deep along the path in the forest, we see many small workshops of traditional features on both sides of the path. Local people are dressed in many kinds of nation clothes performing how to do the handicraft and the food. This can let you see the life and work scene of the ancient people in Finland.</p>
<p>All of a sudden, melodious and sweet notes come into our ears from the distance where there are two young girls are performing musical instrument. On the green mattress of lawn, the adult and children both in bright clothes are playing some folk games. Happiness perfuses the mother earth.</p>
<p>Going ahead for not far away, a group of folk artists are dancing to their hearts&#8217; content. Lesgirls are wearing colorful skirts of classicism while the men are wearing white coats and black trousers with black shoes on feet which make them quite handsome. Travelers around are influenced so much by the dance which is full of ardor and riot that they can not help but join in the collectivity dance which is becoming bigger and bigger in succession.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In summer, one of the most popular activities in Finland is bear watching. In particular, many tourists come to watch the elusive European brown bear, which is one of the largest land predators and also the national animal of Finland. Aside from watching bears, you can catch sight of wolves, lynxes and various bird species, too.</p>
<p>You can also take a leisurely stroll with your family through the streets of Rauma, especially Old Rauma, a World Heritage Site with over 30 hectares of wooden housing. Rauma is also where you&#8217;ll find the Sammallahdenmäki Bronze Age burial site, otherwise known as the Pyramids of Finland, which contains over 30 burial mounds and other archaeological wonders.</p>
<p>In winter, one of the top activities in Finland you should consider is dog sledding in Lapland. While dog sledding is no longer the sole means of transportation in the Arctic, it is a popular tourist activity, especially from December to April. After all, you won&#8217;t only be able to interact with a pack of friendly dogs. You&#8217;ll also be able to enjoy a truly unique experience.</p>
<p>You can also go on a reindeer safari during your winter family holidays in Finland. Visit one of the reindeer farms in Lapland to learn how reindeer are raised and cared for. Learn a few tips about herding and harnessing reindeer. Best of all, go on a charming sleigh ride through the pristine snowy landscape. It will surely be an experience you won&#8217;t forget.</p>
<p>What better way to end the day than to sleep in a real igloo? Igloos have been used as excellent accommodations for centuries, and you can experience spending the night in one, too, while you&#8217;re in Finland. Don&#8217;t worry about feeling cold. Although your bed is made of snow, you can still stay warm and comfortable under a blanket of reindeer skin.</p>
<p>Whether in summer or in winter, one of the things you should also do while you&#8217;re in Finland is to visit Santa Claus. That&#8217;s right! Santa Claus lives in the north of Finland near the Arctic Circle and his office is open all year long. This means you&#8217;ll get to meet the man himself and hear various stories about him &#8211; something your kids will surely enjoy.</p>
<p>Indeed, Finland has many summer and winter activities for every member of the family to enjoy and treasure. Whether you&#8217;re an outdoor adventurer, a cultural enthusiast, a person who&#8217;s fond of wildlife, or just a tourist looking forward to unique and amazing experiences, Finland is the right destination for you. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are 35 national parks in Lapland and each one demonstrates the beauty of Lapland expressively and is an example of the vast open lands Lapland has to provide. The Eastern Gulf of Finland national park is located in the province of Southern Finland and is known for its beauty and bird watching opportunities. The ideal way to explore the park is by boat and in the summer months, there is a regular passenger boat service. The park is scattered across a large open sea area with a width of 60km.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An important part of putting together a holiday is to check the weather of your destination at the time of year you plan to travel. Naturally, certain areas are going to be warmer than others during certain times of the year, and a place&#8217;s geographical location could change nearby temperatures and precipitation levels. Coastal cities may have cooler breezes. A regular hot spot for vacationing tourists, the beaches of San Diego has an excellent reputation for warm weather, rain is minimal damage to outdoor activities.</p>
<p>Temperature-wise, the San Diego beach holds a strong average of moderate warmth. As farther inland temperatures can easily reach 100 degrees Fahrenheit, San Diego&#8217;s hottest average occurs in the month of August. Compared to other locales, a 77.5 degree average high can be extremely attractive. With temperatures at such a moderate range, enjoying the beach can be a full day activity, as the weather does not become so painfully hot during the day.</p>
<p>San Diego also benefits from low precipitation totals throughout the year in comparison to other locations in the United States. Even if a vacationer were to enjoy the winter months, which are traditionally the wettest in the area, they could expect around 2.28 inches of precipitation in the heaviest month of the year, which is January. In the summer, precipitation is minimal, making beach conditions perfect.</p>
<p>In the summer months, when most vacationers hit the beaches, the sky is at its cloudiest for the year. In the winter, the sky is more likely to open up, giving more sunlight for the city. While some see this as a detriment to their beach experience, it can also provide cooler temperatures to keep the whole vacation experience more comfortable. To learn more about vacation options, check out condominiums on South Mission Beach.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Finland lies in a strategically important position along routes from both Western Europe and the Far East, so it is easy to see why it is such a popular base for worldwide shipping companies. International freight is heavily encouraged by low berthing fees, and a new container port to serve Helsinki, the country&#8217;s capital, was completed in 2008. The country also has a very well maintained road network, as well as more than 3,600 miles of railway lines which facilitate internal travel between major cities and the more remote regions.</p>
<p>One of the country&#8217;s biggest commercial successes is the mobile phone company Nokia. While it has well and truly put the country on the map, many more Finns are enterprising and innovative, which is proved by the country&#8217;s status as the one which holds the greatest number of registered patents per head of population in the world. The World Bank credits Finland as being one of the easiest nations in the world with which to do business, ranking it 16th in a 2010 poll based on this criterion.</p>
<p>Doing business in Finland is so much easier when you have a reliable and cost-effective parcel delivery service helping you get your goods to where they are needed, when they are needed. Online couriers pull together the massive resources of the world&#8217;s best-known courier companies so that when you need to send a parcel to Finland, you can leave the hard work to us. With its highly liberalised commercial market, Finland welcomes businesses which have something to offer its people.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Finland is a beautiful country situated in Northern Europe, the beautiful scenery of Finland are what make this country a go-to place during the holiday season. The place is filled with lakes, especially in the capital city of Helsinki.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re scheduled for a vacation in Finland, it is highly advised that you make some car rental reservations prior to getting here. The highways in Finland are always in excellent condition, no doubt about that. But the routes are mostly indirect because you would have to drive around the lakes. If you have a car, you can easily do some sightseeing while on the road. As you pass by Finland&#8217;s scenic parts, you can easily park your car on the side and marvel at nature&#8217;s beauty as much as you like.</p>
<p>Renting a car in Finland is quite easy. You only have to be 20 years old be granted one, although major car hire providers prefer that the primary drivers are 25 years old and above. As a general rule, drivers would have to be holders of their licenses for at least a year before a car is rented to him or her. Young drivers, those below 25 years old, would have to pay for the surcharge.</p>
<p>The main attractions of Finland, being a part of the Arctic Circle, are its islands off the Baltic Sea. But if you&#8217;re there for some land-based attractions, you can visit the Kiasma and Seurasaaren Ulkomoseo museums in Helsinki. Visit the Senaatintori and the SibeliUKsen Puisto as well. There are many other sights to see, with most of them easy for you to discover on your own. And oh, don&#8217;t forget to experience the popular Finnish spa at Kaivopuisto.</p>
