    my thank you! :) very dearly!

    I'd be no good in the government. too much responsibility and too much dull text to read! :rolleyes:

    :D but thank you very much!!

    ok tell me something. what is the population of kotka and what is the lifestyle like there? what do people do there? are they busy or content? how many hours of daylight do you get at different times of the year?

    i live in a big city in a much different country to yours, tell me the basics of how you live in your town

    here's a website: http://www2.kotka.fi/english/

    the population here is something over 500 000. so not that big in a worldly scale.
    since ours is a city by the sea, it's much represented here, lifestyle is quite laid back.
    what do people do..? hard to say actually since there isn't that much stuff to do for people my age and I really don't know what older/younger people do.
    but there has been some improvements to what young people can do. at least attempted improvements. :)
    I guess the ones who are old enough go to bars and such, party, have a good time.
    in general in think the people are content. those who aren't.. well, it's easy to move out if you don't like the city.
    the prises of houses and apartments are much lower than in for example Helsinki. and one of the few things that really suck here is healthcare (too little resources.) but that's a problem elsewhere too.

    in wintertime we have about 6-7 hours of daylight.
    more in the summertime when it's not pitch black dark even at nights.

    hmm. you want to know more or is that good? :)

    anything, anything at all. but still do try to behave! :)
    and I may not be able to answer every question regarding politics, but I shall try.

    I desided to create this thread because every now and then there are some interviws with various artists (or other people) who think we have polar bears here. and we don't, just so you know. ;)

    so, ask me. :D

    and yes, Conan O'Brien looks a lot like our president, I admit it. :D

    are you goin' to marry me?
