"PS Know much about Finland?"

To be honest - No, other than that it is a pretty cold place and the language is darned difficult.

It may be Finland that has the only Latin language radio station operating in the world (I know its one of the Nordic countries that does). The reason being that the indiginous language is so hard to teach the kids that Latin is comparatively simple, and so has become adopted as a semi-official second language.

If you want a country with a thriving Orthodox community, have you thought about Syria?

Thanks, but we need a country with a western healthcare system, just one that is not as perverted as ours.

If that were not the case, we'd just go to Russia....

A few years ago, a segment on "60 Minutes" was about one of the Nordic countries. Was it Finland? The people never smile, even when socializing, dancing, falling in love.

Sounds sad but it's hilarious to watch.
