I would have thought that no one has heard a word about Finland in South Africa, but I was wrong. Here are the known things in the order of appearance:
1. Kimi Raikkonen. They are selling T-shirts with Kimi Raikkonen prints on at the Cape Town Airport.
2. Snow and cold weather. One person even made a comment, that I come from the ice age. Ha ha ha!
3. Rovaniemi and Santa Clause. The person who took us on the cruise in Port Elizabeth had actually visited Rovaniemi, and he had been so dissappointed because Santa Clause hadn't been there. But what can you expect if you go visit him in the summer? I think that it is only fair that Joupukki gets some time off from work too.
4. The Finnish police men. There has been a reality show on TV, which introduces the police departments in different countries, and Finland has been one of the countries. The sad thing is, that the impression the show has given about our police is not too flattering. But I have tried to correct that impression.
5. HIM and Ville Valo. You should hear how funny it sounds when South Africans try to pronounce "Ville Valo".
6. The Duudsons.
7. Nokia. Can you imagine that: even The Duudsons came up before Nokia!
