Good day everyone!

Today I want to introduce you my favourite Finnish dessert so far... The Blueberry pie.
 
Yesterday it was a grey and rainy day in Turku, for this reason, a friend and I decided to bake something.
 
After going trought Finnish dessert recepies, we decided to go for the Blueberry pie (good choice).
 
This Blueberry Pie or "Mustikkapiirakka" ( as they say here) is actually an iconic Finnish dessert and most bakeries around the country sell it.
 
The pie is very easy to make it and the ingredients are cheap and easy to find.

Have fun and BUON APPETITO!!

Country comparison:Finland and Italy (Hofstede theory) Now, I will try to show you the results of an analysis has been done on Finland  and Italy using the Hofstede theory. This tool is very useful and interesting one to use in order to get a good overview of the different cultures and make a comparison with other countries in the world. I knew Italians and Finnish are very different but, using the Hofstede theory, I learned about some more aspects of the Finnish and Italian society and how much they actually differ from each other. Finland and Italy have been analyzed on different levels and fields: Power distance, individualism, masculinity, long term orientation and indulgence. In analysis about Finland, the results of the study show a society in which equal rights, decentralized power and communication are fundamental both in private life and working field. The score Finland achieved in the field of Individualism is pretty high. This f...

1 st stop : Oulu Our first stop, after leaving from Turku and driving up for about 600km, has been in the city of Oulu. We spent one night in a nice and quite cheap accommodation cottage in a camping place (Nallikkari), next to a big and quiet beach and pretty close to the town centre. We arrived at the place in the evening and it was already very dark so we could not explore at that time. You could actually notice getting out of the car at that time was already the difference in the temperature. Already colder than the one   we left in Turku. Another thing you can immediately notice is a weird smell in the air. Making some research later I found out that the smell is coming from the smoke of the numerous industries that are located just outside the town. Oulu is actually famous for the industries for the manifacture of paper. In the next morning, we headed to the town centre in order to have breakfast and visit Oulu centre. The city of Oulu is q...

Cultural shock: The family in  Sirkka/Kittila  Sirkka is a region located in the north of Lapland just, 40 minutes away from the more famous Levi. That was one of the best parts of our trip. Our b&b it was actually in Kittila and we found it thanks to Booking.com. When we got there already very dark so we could not see yet how amazing the area and the nature around us was. The b&b was just magic. If you go to this region of Finland and you are looking for a place to sleep and, at the same time, experience the unique and magic Lapland lifestyle, you should go there. I absolutely suggest it, the price is not exaggerated and a nice and filling breakfast is included. The b&b is in a traditional finnish house building and it is run by a family that lives there during the whole year. They have horses and aski dogs and they live taking care of them, working in their farm and organizing night stay, activities and excursions for touri...
