    Dear HKI_Reporter,
    I bet you must be a Finn by throwing this poll.
    For good things, there are too many, like... Nokia, Linux, prime strong "alkoholi", sauna, No.1 F1 driver, ... ...

    Nokia for sure. Those phones look great! Altough I don't have one :P

    but Finland is more than that. A beauty country, and a intelligent society.

    I voted for Santa. I knew he was from Finland long before I knew Nokia was Finnish, but, none of those words wrap up Finland for me. The words that I associate with Suomi are:

    Love - my husband is from there
    Metal - best metal in the world is from there
    Muikku - love it and was introduced to it there
    Disappointment - because I can't be there

    You missed: Sami Salo - greatest player on the Vancouver Canucks. But then I also agree with Peni - Metal - best in the world!

    Madam Peni,
    About that kind of disappointment, I can relate to that 'cause I had similar experience, so... you are not alone!
