Trivia

Well, nobody sent me any questions, so I guess I'll just do a post with random little tidbits about Finland that most people don't know.


  • You can use a credit card for everything here, from a pack of gum at a store, to a taxi, they accept plastic everywhere
  • You can also pay for a ton of stuff with your phone...lots of vending machines have a number, you text the number with what you want, the drink pops out, and your account gets charged for the drink
  • The language of the elves in Lord of the Rings is based on Finnish
  • There are 187,888 lakes in Finland
  • Finland is the least corrupt country in the world
  • Finland was the first country to give women the right to vote
Well, there's not all that much to tell about Finland, so I guess that's it for now.

Please, send me some questions, or the next few weeks will see some boring blog posts.
