    I have three, blond, blue eyed little Oikarinen's running around the house...what should I teach my children about their heritage, any profound traditions?

    well, it could be nice to start off with Finlands independence day (if they don't know it yet), that's December 6th, and the things that led to it.. interesting stuff, I'd say. :)
    and of course sauna!! not a steamroom, a proper sauna (if possible naturally :o )! or at least tell them about it.
    hmm. I guess Finnish traditional dishes might be interesting. http://www.finnguide.fi/finnishrecipes/
    oh oh, and KALEVALA! how could I not remember that immediately.!!
    you know, our national epic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalevala
    hmm. what else.. :o
    well, this is this for now, my head's kinda empty. :) I'll post again if I come to think of something new!

    The sauna was one of the best parts of my trip to Finland.... especially great after a long night of drinking :D

    finnish girls are hot! personally i prefer them over swedes because there is more diversity in hair color and what not. in my opinion, scandinavian girls are some of the most beautiful in the world. no offense, eMMi, but the girls in iceland are probably the most ridiculously attractive!

    We should start an 'Everything you've ever wanted to know about Australia thread' and tell everyone about our naked hot babes.

    eMMI, how hot does it get in summer? And how cold in winter? Do you use metric units like normal countries?
