Celebrating Finland

I'm eagerly waiting for tomorrow's Finland party. Us Finnishmen decided to throw a dedicated party since majority of exchange students know nothing about our country (besides Santa and Nokia).

Our program for the evening consists of Finland related quiz and watching movies 'Perkele' and 'Uuno Turhapuro goes to the army'. Both movies are with English subtitles, naturally.

Our cuisine is going to be minimalistic but authentic. We are going to serve home-made Karelian pasties, Fazer chocolate, salty liquorice, Salmiakki Koskenkorva and Koskenkorva with Tyrkish Peppers. Too bad we didn't find malt flour anywhere. We would have wanted to serve mämmi as well.

I'm going to continue teaching Finnish to my fellow students. Some already know important expressions such as kuivana kakkoseen, pannaanko, nussitaan etc. It's good that our language is so rich. There are dozens of different ways to express the same thing :)
