Tell us about your hometown.
I come from Helsinki, the capital of Finland.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HelsinkiTheres about 600k people here and few hundred thousand in the neighbour "cities". I count Helsinki as the only real city in Finland besides Turku.
In winter
Maybe the most famous sight in Helsinki, the Cathedral
Suomenlinna, old sea frotress near the city center
Some other pictures
The olympic stadium
Also there are some ugly areas
In overall Helsinki is a nice town to live, big enough but not too big. Nature and city are near each other, there are some forest quite near the city centre
