Weeeell, 0°C is cold, yes, but not like SUPER cold. Like regular winter cold :P I expected temperatures way below 0. Winters in Germany can easily slip into minus temperatures so I expected Finland to be even colder. I would've liked more snow too :< I love snow
I gotta agree with you on that 26°C line, though! I can't deal with heat so anything above that is just too much for me ... which sucks because I'm in Italy and we've been having 30+ temperatures almost constantly for weeks now. SAVE ME
Haha well you you might like other parts of the cuisine? I found their food to be a good mix of Germanic and Slavic traditions. Potatoes, good bread, meat ... also a good amount of sea food, which isn't surprising looking at all the water they got haha
oh and they absolutely LOVE their milk. It's really funny. They have a glass of milk with like every meal. Ironically though, a lot of them are lactose intolerant.
For me it's not so much the washing up but the whole effort of cooking haha just been too lazy for that ... so I often just make really lazy dishes such as pasta.
You have a dishwasher? Lucky! I've lived without for the majority of my life lol the one at home in Germany broke and my mum keeps saying she wants to have it repaired .... yeeeah, she's been saying that for like 10 years now lol I don't think it's ever gonna happen. No dishwasher in England, Finland or here either. It's okay, though ... as long as you don't let all the dishes pile up *cough*
Ramen is great though! In Finland I banned myself from buying it because I was having too much XD
