Is it me or is it Sweden?

After happily skipping away from the Irish Santa’s home, I decided to book an Airbnb in Haparanda for two nights. My original plan was to spend two nice days camping in a Finnish town called Tornio near the Finland–Sweden border, but after my strange experience in Oulu, I wanted a room with my own bed, clean sheets, do laundry, wash myself, and rest. Later, it turned out to be the right choice as on the first night there was a thunderstorm and heavy rain, and on the second night, very strong wind. I arrived in the twin town of Tornio–Haparanda quite early, 11:30 by Finnish time, but since my accommodation was on the Swedish side, it was actually 10:30. Official Airbnb check-in was at 16:00, so I had more than enough time to kill. I asked the host to let me know if the room became available earlier. Meanwhile, I visited Hesburger and Espresso House on the Finnish side and did some research for a grant application. Luckily, around 13:30 I got a text saying the room was ready and the host would be home for lunch—so I packed up and staggered over with all my bags.
