    Fun fact about snow; It may be cold on the surface, but it can also be really densly packed and thus, also act like a surprisingly great isolator. :) Space and drainage is very important for snow hotels though so you can keep yourself dry. Because it is the moisture from the melting water getting inside of your clothes which causes you to freeze to death, not the snow or ice in itself. :P You've also got to have something to isolate your body from the ice bedding though, typically an animal skin or pelt or several. Ingenius, really... Because it is these pelts which protects the animals from freezing to death in the winters.

    The so called "pork sauce" is the best. The word actually translates to "fat sauce" because of the amount of fat in the pork belly. Cold-smoked pork belly is simply known as "fat" in Finnish common usage.
    Anyway, the sauce itself is great. It's usually served on potatoes with pickles and crispy fried pork belly on the side. It's very easy to make too.

    If you ever visit finland i suggest going to lapland in the late or early winter as mid winter has so many tourists that places like Rovaniemi, joulumaa (the place where santa lives) is hard to navigate. Late winter is maybe the best time to visit finland. Not early spring tough as the snow gets wet and it's still cold.

    i've never heard anyone eating a black sausage with doughnut.... Usually with lingonberry jam. Another, definitely interesting Finnish food is "Kuuma koira" which is literally "hot dog". But it isn't. It is Finnish "munkki", which is just differently shaped doughnut, with steamed sausage and filled with like everything you could put into a "lihapiirakka", onion, pickled cucumber, mustard, ketchup... Never tried it, but it is interesting. It's originally from Nokia. You probably know Nokia from other things.

    Läski becomes bacon if you smoke it and it was cured. So its a bit like bacon, like the meat can be cured and even smoked but usually you buy it raw and slice it in a different way. I assume you can use any part but the preferred part is probably side pork because the fat and meat is layered better. I watched a video earlier that UK uses the pork back for bacon but I assume that works too if you leave the more meaty part for something else.

    The Burger King with a sauna happened thusly: the space was previously used by a sports-bar/restaurant, that had the sauna put in, and when Burger King rented it, they decided to keep it. I'm not sure if you get your meal delivered to the changing room or not, or if you have to fetch it from upstairs yourself (It's in the basement, where there is also additional seating). Source: participated in a stag-do that rented the sauna from before it became a Burger King.

    Finland didn't gain its independence from Sweden, the region that is now Finland was the eastern part of Sweden proper until it was taken by Russia in the war of 1808-1809 and incorporated into the Russian empire as a Grand Duchy, it later gained its independence from Russia in the aftermath of WWI and the Russian revolution.
