Title: "Returning from Finland and nagging about some inappropriate ideas"
Traveling through a magnificent Nordic country on the edge of the Arctic Circle is an experience full of beauty and novelty. However, it can't help but make me think about something that is not very comfortable.
Finland, known for its spectacular natural scenery and advanced technology, I admired this beautiful land, but also discovered some unusual phenomena in my exploration. Maybe it's the collision between tourists and the local culture, or maybe it's the strangeness of a foreign country, in short, there are a few things that I don't like to hear, or some things that make people wonder.
First of all, there is the conservatism and silence of the locals. When communicating with them, I can't help but feel a sense of alienation. They seem to be more inclined to remain silent, even in relatively close contexts. Perhaps it's a cultural difference, but for someone like me, who is Xi to more open communication, the silence seems a little bothersome.
Secondly, there is the unique choice of Finnish cuisine. Finns have some unique food choices, such as their love of fish and reindeer meat. As much as I respect different food cultures, sometimes seeing certain dishes does cause me some inner struggles, especially for people who are not very Xi to this type of food.
During my travels, I also found the local weather difficult to adapt. Even in summer, the climate in Finland is unpredictable. The transition between sunny and cloudy days can be instantaneous, and this sudden change in weather can be a challenge for someone Xi to a relatively stable climate.
However, the excitement of travel is not limited to these unsatisfactory aspects. In Finland, I also gained a lot of valuable experiences and insights.
In Helsinki, I visited many museums and galleries and got a taste of art and history. Especially at the Design Museum in Helsinki, the art of design on display gave me a lot of inspiration, and it was a collision of hearts and minds that I hadn't seen for a long time.
In addition, in Lapland, I had the pleasure of reindeer sleigh ride, and the thrill of running through the snow and ice was unforgettable. Walking through a snowy forest with reindeer is like being in a fairy tale.
At night in the Arctic Circle, I also witnessed the brilliant Northern Lights, which danced in the night sky like a miracle of nature. It was an otherworldly experience that made me feel the infinite charm of the beauty of nature.
Overall, this trip to Finland was an experience full of contrasts and conflicts. Although there is some discomfort and incomprehension, it is these differences that make the trip more interesting and colorful. Perhaps it is because of these challenges that I have a deeper sense of the charm of cultural differences.
Perhaps, traveling is not just about admiring the beautiful scenery, but also about experiencing the collision and integration of different cultures. In this collision, we can see our own limitations, learn to respect and tolerate, and discover what we have in common.
So, when I look back on this trip, I don't just stop at the details that are not satisfactory, but choose to see these challenges as the excitement of the trip, to feel and experience the unique charm of it. After all, travel is not just a mark on a map, but also a mark of our inner journey, which broadens our horizons and embraces diversity and difference.
Perhaps, this is the beauty of travel, which always allows us to keep an open mind to explore, experience, and look at this colorful world with a more tolerant eye.
In this article, I'm trying to explore the feelings and thoughts of my trip to Finland in a slightly different way. Travel is not only about the scenery, but also about the journey of the heart, right?
