Helsinki capital of Finland, including the mostly freezing weather: after all, the narrative of the film unfolds in an early winter morning, shortly before sunrise.
The range of stereotypes regarding Helsinki city has always been as abundant as the epithets of the legendary Finnish epos of Kalevala: herring, reindeer meat, saunas, and Finnish tourists who, having given a day off to any sort of moderation and preconception of reasonable behaviour, drink dry the ferries on the routes of Tallinn Helsinki and Stockholm Helsinki. After all, you would be hard-pressed to find anyone who has not heard of the Nordic nation's drinking problem that has resulted In the outrageously high alcohol prices in Helsinki bars and a range of other preventive measures.The spoken genre of "Finnish tales"was still flourishing quite recently; for Instance, the former President of France Jacques Chirac took an indelicately nasty dig at the British, comparing the nation to Finland: "You can't trust people who cook as badly as that. After Finland, it's the country with the worst food."
Cologne Germany is the city famous for Kölsch, Cologne Christmas market and its chocolate museum.Cologne (Köln to the locals) is, though, a bit more eccentric and cosmopolitan in character (call it a combination of colourful and completely mad) than its Baltic counter-part: Cologne city is home to many of Germany's television and press agencies, has one of Europe's largest gay populations as well as one of western Europe's largest Turkish communities.
After being almost completely obliterated by bombing raids during the Second World War, Cologne rose like the proverbial phoenix from the summer autumn 2008 ashes and rapidly grew into the biggest city in the heavily industrial North Rhine-Westphalia region of the country. It is also the fourth largest city in Germany.
Cologne is all things to all people: it has one of the most happening Cologne bar, Cologne pub and Cologne club scenes in Germany; is regarded as Cologne shopping heaven by those who know about that kind of thing; and is endowed by enough quality Cologne museums, Cologne churches, stunning Cologne architecture and interesting Cologne sightseeing options to keep a massive assemblage of Japanese and American tourists clapping, whooping and happy snapping till the cows come home.
