Apparently, Finland doesn't really exist -

I went to the big Chapters bookstore in WEM, suffering the completely irrational idea that I should at least flip through some Reiseführer for Finland (I mean, psh! Why should I suffer the blahblahblah tourist descriptions of landmarks and culture?).

Well, the 'European travel' section started out near a bottom shelf, and from the very bottom shelf it began something like this: Czech Republic, Denmark, France [a full 2 shelves], Germany [another two shelves], Holland [insert laugh about alphabetization here], —

What?

Either Finland is a popular destination (which I prefer to believe it totally is NOT), or it has simply vanished off the face of the map. Not a single book!

You must be *really* bored, then...or homesick. Ah well, sometimes when I'm bored, I go to bookstores and flip through Cantonese phrasebooks/learning books just for laughs.

'Reiseführer' refers to the actual person doing the guiding, not a book-guide.
