These coffee breaks with friends and colleagues are almost sacred moments to Finns.<\/p>\n While in Helsinki, check out the libraries <\/a><\/strong>as a social innovation in Finnish education, interactive museums<\/a>, <\/strong>the islands around Helsinki<\/strong><\/a> and the sauna<\/a><\/strong>.
