THINGS ABOUT CITY

Oulu is about 190 000 inhabitant city in northern Finland. It is roughly 600 km to north from Helsinki which is capital city of Finland. We have University of Oulu and University of Applied Sciences so that means there is 20000 students in the city.

In Oulu we have also several attractions and events, for example Air Guitar World Championship and Qstock music festival. Summer time weather is around +20 degrees but winter time it could be -35 degrees. That time comparing Oulu to living in a fridge is possible except fridge is much warmer.
