Here's your change to learn about Finland. This one guy is making short informational videos about Finland while we wait for the eurovision 2007. He also speaks the famous "Mika HÃ¤kkinen"-dialect of english!

I heard you call your country Suomi. Why does everyone else call it Finland then? Suomi sounds much cooler than Finland IMO. Not a bad link, but I think Wikipedia was much more informative.

I watched a couple of these videos, and I have to say it's some of the funniest stuff I've watched ever. The fractured english is so good, and some of the stuff he says is pure genius. Thanks for this! Finnish people are awesome!
