I definitely want to introduce you to the best party this fall. the following text is a direct quote and also a translation from the Finnish wikipedia; The Venetians (also Fete Venete) is the closing party of the boating and camping season held on the last Saturday of August. Venetians are also considered a celebration of water, fire and light. The Venetian celebrations started in Helsinki in 1840.[1] Western Finland's coastal areas such as Pori, Rauma, Kalajoki, Kokkola, Pietarsaari and Ostrobothnia are traditional places for Venetians to hang out. The end of the villa season, villaavslutt, is generally celebrated throughout the Swedish-speaking Ostrobothnia, but the Venetians (venetiansk afton) were previously mostly talked about in Kokkola, Pietarsaari, Uussakaarlepyy and Uussakaupunki.[2] Nowadays, however, Venetians are organized all over the country.[3] I am attaching a video of last year's Kalajoki Venetians. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJ3Enn2qiq93mcksi=4DaYQ5ge-fcTj5Dz

One of those facts confirmed on The Simpsons: "Simpsons - Kalsarikännit". Finnish American Bonita Pietila has worked as a casting director and a producer for The SImpsons: "Bonita Pietila interview, May 2014 (Reupload)". The local basketball team in Lahti is Lahden NMKY, which was actually founded in a former Finnish city Viipuri (Vyborg) in 1889. The team moved to Lahti after the WW2 and basketball they have played since 1950. Some Finnish basketball history from the US and to the US: "An Eternity of Basketball Episode 162: Larry Pounds", "B Talk Podcast Episode 4 | Larry Pounds | Leon Huff | Ervin Latimer discuss about basketball & life", "B Talk Podcast Episode 1 | Shawn Huff | Basketball career | Finnish National team | Politics + more" and "Pekka Markkanen on Lauri Markkanen's decision to turn pro". All the best with your project.

We will go as deep as we can to find the true and sometimes weird Finnish way of living 😊. Just a month and a half to wait 👍

There is a minimum amount for fines in Finland. So you may have to pay a few hundreds even if you don't make anything. There is 5,5 million people in Finland and the size of our defense forces resev is over 900,000. So every fifth Finn is trained in the army. Other ones, national defense is a duty in other ways. Finland is located next to Russia, so that's why... You should react to the winter war videos and the video "geography of Finland".

Hey man! Prepare yourself, 2 months from now is the worst time of the year. Dark, cold, rainy. No sunlight, and yet no snow on the ground which would help a little. E: Summer May-Oct or Winter Dec-Mar are the best periods in my opinion.
