Glass Igloo Village Hotels, Finland
The Aurora Borealis is awesome, and I can imagine this would be the ultimate way to see it. In Kakslauttanen, Finland, you can stay in the glass igloo village and have a full view of the incredible Northern Lights. ‘The Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? At this time of day?

Jalava: a folk band from Finland

I almost forgot — metal is really about being drunk, pissed, offensive, and satanic. I have Bestial Mockery to thank for this. Their no-frills black thrash is barebones and snarling without being too dead-pan serious. These guys from Sweden are clearly having a blast worshiping the Dark One in the tradition of old-school bands like Venom, early Bathory, and Sodom. Nothing too original here, but it’s fun as hell.
‘Les gens courageux’ is French for ‘the fearless ones’, and if you wear this slim-fitting white v-neck combed cotton t shirt, with the Vaughn de Heart logo on the left sleeve, you’ll be fearless, too. Yes, we promise.
