@AurélieZ thank you :)
No, not really. People were nice there :) it was just a summer vacation for 21 days and then got back to Egypt.

@anaexpat it's lovely, I mostly loved the weather in summer and the nature. I've stayed in a village called Nummela, and visited Helsinki twice or three times I think. It was wonderful.
