Finland comes alive in the summer and there are hundreds of festivals taking place all over the country. I went with other exchange students from Canada, Germany, Australia and Mexico to the biggest festival in Finland, Ruisrock.
Its name comes from where it is held, on Ruissalo (Rye Island) just of the coast of a big, south-western Finnish city, Turku. The festival lasts for 3 days and i stayed with a Canadian exchange student, Chris, over the weekend.
The festival was amazing with many great Finnish artists, some big American bands like Disturbed and even The Living End from Australia. The days were long and tiring and i managed to lose my wallet in one of the mosh-pits but it was worth it.
Every night when the festival finished we would have to catch a bus back into Turku and then walkk from Turku to chris' place, usually making it back there after sunrise (at 3am or so).
