FINLAND - Drink: I always bring chaga mushrooms… a fungus found primarily on birch trees in colder climates across the Northern Hemisphere. They can be boiled and used as a cold or hot drink. I like it because its health benefits are plentiful, many of which can be attributed to its immune-boosting ingredients and antioxidants. I think the only place to find it is Finland, so one needs to travel there to have it–but it is worth the trip. I have offered this drink to many of my Indonesian friends who absolutely loved it and said that it made them feel healthier. <br><br> Eat: I usually bring some chocolate made by Karl Fazer (fazer.com), which is a confectionary established in Helsinki in the late 19th century. The taste of Fazer's iconic Blue Wrapper milk chocolate is sensational! One can find Fazer products at all in international airports, including Soekarno-Hatta airport.
