    • Finland - Karhu Beer

    • Well, being a Nordic country Finland has its share of people who just love alcohol (or the idea of being drunk) ... who doesn't know about the Finlandia vodka for example?? Well, a nice standard beer here is Karhu (meaning bear). In winter, with all the snow you get natural refridgeration for a beer picnic too ... cool ;-)

    • Wow ... this cranberry liqueur is just lovely, the smell, the taste .... a real quality product from Finland. Makes an excellent souvenier to take back home, or a great addition to your own bar at home ;-)

    • Tasty chocolates filled with real vodka ... Finlandia vodka of course ;-) Real tasty, and a great idea to buy as a souvenir gift to take back home, for you or for others. Great excuse not to share too much with your colleagues at work ... lest they get drunk ;-)

    • Nordic countries are especially fond of ice statues - of course, winter lasts forever there :-) But really, it is nice to see them around - they look just great! But topless mermaids in sub-zero temperatures??? Well, at least she looks nice :-)

    • Well ... what can I say?? Only Finns think that it is fun to boil yourself in sauna and then take a dip in the icy water through a tiny hole that takes ages to dig out in a frozen solid lake ...
