Since I am a big fan of Mika Hakkinen and Kimi Raikkonen, I am a 'fan of Finland.'

Thanks for creating the group.

Grayson,

You are most welcome! Great to have you with us! Did you know that the Finnish-American Society (www.sayl.fi) here in Finland is the largest American friendship association in the World. We are very proud of it.

Terve y'all...

I used to work for Nokia for 4 years and so I learned a lot about the Finnish culture and some about the language, especially the Finnish equivalent of the seven words you don't say on television....

I must say I had quite an appreciation for the culture. For the Finnish culture to have survived intact after 700 years of Swedish rule is remarkable indeed and speaks volumes about the character of the Finnish people.

Moi,

Mark, it's great (and somehow amazing) to meet fellow Nokia workers in this forum! I used to work for Nokia for 5 years. Wow!

Take care,

Matti



BTW: Saying "moi" means "hello" and is very common in Finnish language.
