Finland has three famous inventions: sauna, ice skates, and virtual air-guitar. Its known by its citicens as the homeland of Santa Claus. They say he lives in Korvatunturi, and Korvatunturi has gotten mail from all over the world, even from Japan. Finland it the third most enviromental country in the world, and would be the most enviromental without the worlds most polluted ocean, Itämeri. Finland has also the person with highest speeding ticket, Jussi Salonoja. The ticket was 170000 euros, because he drove twice the speed allowed with a motorbike in Helsinki, february 2004. As Jussi is the heir of the HK:s sausage factory, hes incomes were in 2002 about 7 million euros. Therefore, speeding ticket is 1/60 of months net worth with the information of the persons taxes. Finland is the least corrupted coutry in the world. It has one very famous giant, Väinö Myllyrinne, who was 251 sentimeters tall. Finland is known of its wierd sports, like cellphone, beer barrel, coin, boot or human throwing, holding a car, ice-fishing, and swinging all the way around. Patti Valasti and Aki Kontala played record breaking, six bounces of ping pong game, with an egg as a ball. Finland scored a new highscore in Eurovision competion in 2006, with scores of 292. Theres aso a record of lifting a boat. Finns are not so known of their skills of breaking records, but their ability to invent new records. Finland is the home of "Fullmoon's Miss American Pie", the cat with the longest wiskers in the world. There are three other alphabets in finnish language than in english: å,ä and ö. And finally, i have to say, that Helsinki has an unique restaurant called "Kynsilaukka", that serves only garlic.
