You know you’ve been in Finland too long, when...

15. Your idea of unforgivable behaviour now includes walking across the street when the light is red and there is no WALK symbol, even though there are no cars in sight.

This video tells a story of a finnish girl who travels to Almería, Spain and falls in love with the nature, beach & charm. She returns home (Finland) to find that she cannot stop thinking about it, dreaming of it, and being woken up with flashbacks from her enchanting trip. She keeps even a picture of Almería in a necklace close to her heart.

Watch as she struggles with her subconscious and conscious and makes love to the very beach she fell in love with. Listen as she plays the mystical, almost haunting, notes on her violin. Visit the more vivid than reality scenes from the very place she fell in love with...Almería.

In the splendor of your warm air
which caressed me
my memories of long ago
they flow into the breeze

when I call you
can you hear me?
you were my first true love

I cannot continue because
everything I see
is your spelndor and your beauty

My Almería, the sound of your breeze
is the reason for my smile

When I used to be on your beach taking in the sun
I could see the immensity
your beauty like a rose
has awakened in me a need

you live here
in my heart
no matter how far the distance

and someday I will fly
in order to return because
you are mine soley

My Almería, the sound of your breeze
is the reason for my smile

The mirror of the sea
that is what you are
I can remember it
I will return if you want

My Almería, the sound of your breeze
is the reason for my smile

The mirror of the sea
that is what you are
I can remember it
I will return if you want

My Almería, the sound of your breeze
is the reason for my smile

I am sure that most of you know some of this bands, but maybe what you don´t know is that they are from Finland, I´ll make two or three articles with good songs.

It has been very difficult to choose only one song from each band, specially from those which I like more, but I hope you enjoy them!!

Sonata Arctica - Fullmoon

Stratovarius - Black Diamond

Sentenced - Killing me Killing you

The 69 Eyes - Gothic Girl

Apocalytica - Nothing else matters

Nightwish - Nemo

Thanks to Matti, who introduced me to some finnish bands that appear here and which I had never listened before.

Since now, when I feel like writing in English I´ll do it, so sometimes you, non-spanish speakers will understand what I write here too, but don´t be very hopeful becouse as u all know I am very lazy and even more to think in English, so this will happen just in a few occasions. I can also write in Finnish, but I don´t want...

Anyway, here there are some photos of our trip to Lapland, and like soundtrack while you see the photos... "An Iberian man in Finland", one song that I sang a lot in the bus in the way to Lapland.

The Police - English man in New York

Snow Castle in Kemi

Ice Viking Ship sculpture in the restaurant

This eagle has a "caniondick", but don´t be excited girls, he is not hot... ;)

Another boat, with that blue light it was beautiful

Were not for the seagulls that wall would be beautiful too, fucking seagulls and mosquitos!!..., they are a plague in the finnish summer and the only things that makes Finland imperfect ;)

That´s Matti´s boat´s captain, but... where is his beer? All that holes at the left and right are very charming and comfortable bedrooms, -5º only..., but thanks God there are other ways to warm up..

Fire extinguisher, very important in a Snow Castle, somebody can set fire to the ice...

Look! I didn´t know that Matti come with us to Lapland!! Alfombri is there!! (To understand the stupid joke... "Matto is Carpet in finnish")

This is the restaurant, I took a very hot chocolate there and when I put the glass over the table it almost make a hole on it jajaja

I was the priest in the wedding of João and Lucía

Sitting in that sofa Gabo was thinking... "Le mio kiapette sono molto fredde" (my ass is frozen)

Madrid is in that direction!! (at 3524 Kms according to the pic)

Santa Claus Office in the Artic Circle.

The proof that Santa Claus is real and recieves all your letters!, so be good and not cabrones and you´ll get what u want at Christmas.

João!, bastard!! What are you doing with my girlfriend Rudolf?!!

It´s okay, I have found another lover, the only problem is that he doesn´t have a body, I hope he sucks it well at least...

The Iberians with two Santa´s elfs

Is João going to kiss Santa Claus? or is it a stares´ challenge?

I found this in Rovaniemi, Lapland, and this is a game for the Hispano Ibéricos: There are 4 spanish bands here, try to find them!

Of course.., even in the Artic Circle there are Mc Donalds.

San Miguel, passion brewed in Spain!, and what about the Hungarian brewers, ehh? Orsy?..

Ok, I sell you two coins of one and two cents for 3 €, c´mon!, that´s a deal!

An authentic Reindeerfighter, yeheee, eee torooo eeeee!! poor! he had only one horn!

Guapooo! I had a crazy night with this one, I fell in love but he never phoned me again... fuck!

The tent where we had that crazy night...

Lordi have created a brand with her name, there are restaurants, Lordi Cola and I think there are some other products..., everybody is crazy in Finland for this band.

Everybody singing... Kerro, ootsä terroristi!!

Ocalimocho, most of you got drunk using it in the hotel, so you owe me some boozes!

João, Madeleine and me

We were all the trip annoying Daniela with the balloons

We were beautiful before...

Oh my God, they killed Kenny! You bastards!!

Kippis!! (cheers!)

Like Daniela would say... Wonderful!!

Dog sled, Lucía and Emma tried, now that I think I should too, but it was fucking expensive!

It looks like something made in 3D by computer but it is real!

Gabo, Joao, Daniela, Jose, Frederick, Ana, Orsy and Joana, and of course the three big white guys

More snow, more trees, more cold...

This picture was taken the night we were looking for the aurora borealis (northern lights), but it didn´t appear, that´s good! becouse now we have at least that reason to return to Finland!!

Los finlandeses tambien tienen la canción del verano, y esta es la de este año... es to pegadiza y las niñas se vuelven locas cuando la escuchan!

"Tea - Tytöt tykkää"

Si escuchais por ahí la palabra "polla" es "pojat" y significa chicos, porque la letra dice a los chicos le gustan las chicas y a las chicas los chicos, aunque ellas lo intenten disimular...
Tambien hay una parte en la que la tía canta, "no me impresionas con ese pelo castaño y esos ojos marrones", no poco... jeje
