Suomessakin on ollut ainakin yksi tapaus, jossa juttu meinasi mennä amerikkalaisille. www.is.fi/kotimaa/art-...

Amerikkalaissotilasta, 28, syytettiin naisen raiskauksesta Suomessa
Amerikkalaissotilas ja suomalaisnainen tapasivat juhlinnan merkeissä ja jatkoivat iltaa hotellihuoneessa. Sotilaan raiskaussyyte hylättiin.

It is nice what good base level fitness enables, not just in movement in the nature. I lost mine for some time and I am now building it back. You are right, I should look into some gym-like exercises. For lack of better word, I have always found those discusting. Just need to find right one for me.

By Kvarken. --- Merenkurkun saaristossa. #photography #landscapephotography #valokuvataivas
A red hut by small inlet. In front of the hut are two piers, and a small boat is tied to one of the piers. Behind the hut and in foreground is dark green vegetation, of late summer. Photo is taken into outer archipelago, so trees are small. It is bright summer day, even when there are some clouds in the sky.

It seems VR has changed their Haaparanta connection. Now change is at Kemi station at 22:20 to P274. And I did not remember that if you miss connection (can be to busses, trains etc.) due VR, they will reimburse tickets to the new connection. www.vr.fi/en/compensat...

Just checked with VR, as I have been treaming of a Tour of Bothnia. They are of option that 17min is sufficient, but I wouldn’t risk it. The ticket system offers fastest connection and thus change in Tornio is not offered.

Understantable. However, if Haparanda to Tornio and the night train are on same tickect, VR will quarantee the connection. If night train can not wait (wich would be odd as they are flexible timed) Vr will get you onwards somehow. Have personal experiense on this. www.vr.fi/en/on-track/...
