"Yes" to all questions - a certain and happy one to the first two, and a not-so-happy one to the third. I was surprised by the duty and taxes part: 22 per cent tax plus the duty for being worth over 150 euros amounted to a total of 75 euros... But it certainly feels worth it.

Maybe I'll visit Canada the next time

Pluse I love Finland and would like to see some photos of your area.

Certainly, you will have them in time - my wife wasn't home today before dark, and our dog isn't much of a photographer, so it'll take some time to make the written really happen. Here's one of the (student, suburb) houses one of which I live in.

Welcome from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where there are lots of Finns around where I live in the central part. A while back there was another guy from Finland on here too, so maybe he'll pop in.

Hope to see a picture soon of you in your kilt. Are you a student, or what do you do?

DALE.
