Phew, it’s been now almost a week since IML XXX ended, and I’m still trying to understand the awesomeness of it all. Being that it was my first trip outside Europe, it was bound to be awesome anyways, but even so, the whole magnitude and diversity of the people at IML was simply astounding. Here in Finland the fetish scene is quite small; not just because this is a small country, but because this is a country full of closeted people. To see a 2000-room hotel totally booked and full of dudes in leather, rubber and whatnot is just something that’s not going to happen back home.
It is true what they say, everything is bigger in the US. Except the prices, thanks to the strong Euro. I will definitely be back some day, hopefully even in time for the next IML, but only time will tell…
