Money

The currency is the Finnish Mark (FIM): 5.15 FIM = 1 US$, approximately, in January 1999. Most major credit cards are accepted (Visa, Mastercard).  Since banks are closed in Finland on Saturdays and Sundays (except in the Helsinki—Vantaa airport), get some cash in FIM before your departure from your country, or at the arrival.
The current rate can be checked at CNN Travel guide.

Weather

The weather is quite unpredictable.. It can be warm (up to 25 C) and sunny, or rainy. Evenings are often quite cool (sometimes even down to 5 C).  Check the current weather from the Weather Service Finland LTD or the CNN weather station closest to Aulanko.

Finnish language

English is widely spoken and understood in Finland but if you want to impress your hosts here are some Finnish language hints for a visitor.
