What can I say....It's my home. Lot of clear air, forests, lakes, cold winters and short summers.
The very advanced society, the most competitive economy, the heroic nation of the Winter War.
The growing economical and cultural/life style gap between urban and rural areas/southern Finland and rest of the country. (except booming Oulu)
Most people have summer cottage on the lakes and sauna in their homes, even apartment houses, like I have
The one of those European nations with conscription based military. Over 80 percents of the male population have served in military and proud about it.
Btw. Have anyone seen Conan's Finland special show. It was very funny actually.

Believe me Helsinki looks totally different place in summer times and so do people. Conan seemed to loved our country but was so embarrassed when he saw nude Finnish guys walking from sauna to swinging in the frozen sea. What bad is about nudity? It's most natural thing in the world. Don't you Americans ever see other people nude.

And have anyone non-Finnish forum member (excluding Gustaf who have) ever visited in Finland?
