I have been to Finland years ago.
The language was strange for us.
In those times Lithunania was a part of the USSR.
So I could not visit your country.
We had been to the USSR embassy in Helsinki.
They told us we could do but to get a visa would take 4 weeks.
So we could not.
I remember this very well.
First we came to the entrance there was a “uniformed lady” who speak only one word “NJET”.
Then a fellow dressed in suit showed up and he was absolute friendly and nice.
A real diplomat!
He said he would help us, but he could not.
We understood.
