GLOBAL WARMING

That's the reason why we don´t have a real Finnish winter in Helsinki this year. Finns are disappointed and to me...I don´t know, really. A freezing cold winter is beautiful and a real weird experience for a Spaniard. But a mild winter is something easier to cope with. In a common finnish winter, the snow would cover everything and would reflect the (weak) sunlight increasing the brightness of the environment. I love the sensation of stepping on a brand new snow layer, the sound is relaxing. Winters in Finland are extremely dark and the snow would contribute to make the hard winter more confortable. When it is really dark outside and you take a look through the window, the image of yourself reflected in the glass is the only thing you can see. That might affect your mood and behaviour. People are particularly introvert, melancholic and prone to be in a sad mood. When the spring arrives and the comforting sunlight gets through the window pane, the wonderful image of Finland in bloom is percieved from inside, inviting Finns to enjoy the nature in a very happy mood (even smiling a little bit). So far, snow lasts on the streets just for few days and if nothing really happens, Mario Estévez will experience the strangest winter in Finland's recent history...
