There was an experiment here in Helsinki, Finland a couple of years ago, where they gave carts similar to the "portable pullman" to people living on the streets. They featured a bicycle on the front and a covered cart on the back for sleeping and some privacy. It would be interested to know if these port-a-homes are still in action, but I haven't heard from nor seen them after the beginning of the experiment. A great idea though!

To Junior -
I read about the bad experiences that British tourists had had in Finnish Lapland a few weeks back. The particular holiday village was owned by a British travel company, as are most of the hotels and cottages that serve the UK, German, French, US, etc. tourists visiting Lapland. Myself I don't have any experiences or insight about the condition of such lodgings, for I have always tried to find accommodation owned by the locals when visiting Lapland. Personally I have never had anything to complain about. I encourage everyone who's thinking about taking a trip to Lapland to use the services provided by local entrepreneurs. After all they are the ones on whose culture your trip is based on. They can lay much more insight to the surroundings and the way of life than any foreign guide.

Here's a similar clip of Helsinki, Finland. The year is 1906.
