Meetakuoolooo !!!
I only know 5 people from Finland, It just so happens that 4 of these people are from the same tiny village.

Ante and Ilari were on my degree course and Ulla lived in a house with some of my mates. When they met they freaked out because it's such a small village in the middle of nowhere.

Then nearing the end of my 3rd year I was very lucky to travel around Egypt. There I am, having Din Dins and drinks in Dahab, a sleepy little tourist spot up the coast from Sharm el Sheik. In walks a group of sexy looking Skandinavians, I get chatting, two are Sexy Swedes the other is a Sexy Finn. In my excitement at meeting said Finnish girl, I try to impress her with the only word I know in finnish - 'Meetacooolooo' (which I've misspelt, but it sounds like that), it means 'Hello, How are you.' She is very impressed with my grasp of her extremely complicated (No Language is anything like Finnish) language. She enquires as to who taught it to me, I reply, "oh one of my mates from Uni, Ilari, he's Finnish, comes from a little village in the middle of nowhere" The girl looks intrigued, I think my lucks in! "Whats his last name?" she asks. "Ilari K" I reply. So you go to Uni in . . . I finish (excuse the Punnage) her sentence. She laughs, that's my little brother, she exclaims!

In the middle of nowhere miles from our own countries I meet my mates sister! Freaked us both out, but when I got back to Uni, Ilari was the most Freaked out, "What did you do with my sister in Egypt??!!!" Angry Drunken Finns who have Black Belts in most Martial Arts can be very scary people unless they get the answers to their demands instantly!
