About two months ago, I visited Helsinki. A lot of women in the Scandinavian country are as tall as me. My height as a woman does not make me noticeable there. But my dresses and long hair seemed to get attention, as most people there wore dark-toned dresses.
The young male cashier seemed to be curious when I arrived at the hotel to check in. I think I wore tights at that time. Just in a day, he became very friendly to me. Most Finnish were fluent in English, although all street signs are only in Finnish.
One day, I was in men's mode to attend a conference. During the lunch time, I stopped at a McDonald's and went to men's bathroom below. Nobody was there. While I washed my hands, a man entered and muttered in Finnish when looking at my back. He seemed to be apologizing. Then he quickly went out to check the sign on the door. I thought my long hair made him respond such way. I also quickly came out.
I visited the national museum and the Sibelius monument by walking. I could not hear any single car horn during my stay there, and it was marvellous. But, there were few things exciting for crossdressers. Finland was a calm country.
