She was sitting on someone's lap.
At first, I thought they were a monster.

Things that are weird about Finland (In one Canadian's opinion, anyway)
- There are slot machines everywhere: cruise ships, gas stations, grocery stores, etc. And gambling is considered a positive thing as all the money goes to the government kind of like another form of taxation.
- People are good parallel parkers (especially my roommate)...I appreciate this as a Vancouverite
- There are no stop signs, at four way stops everyone just yields to the right
- Nobody locks their bike to anything, they just lock the back wheel in place...you could just carry them away...it would be so easy...I need a bike
- People won’t jaywalk, but they’ll ride on the back of someone’s bike with no helmet
- Yogurt comes in a carton.
- Teachers are respected as highly as doctors or lawyers and need almost as much education.
- People take notes on grid paper, not lined.
- Nobody speaks English, but if you speak to them in English they will understand and respond...in English
- Stopping for a pedestrian waiting at a crosswalk is only a suggestion, but heaven forbid if you jaywalk!
- Everyone wants to know if you like Finland and what you did wrong to end up here :-)
- Bicycles are not allowed on the street and have to run over pedestrians instead.
- You have to take a number to do anything, but I guess it beats waiting in line!
