Finland

The first impression you get, looking out from the window of the plane, is that there are a lot of trees. An endless carpet of forest, with lakes in between. And a few small farms and small towns. So it's kind of a surprise when you land in Helsinki (capital of Finland) to find that the airport is so modern and efficient. Not a polar bear in sight.
