re… FASCINATING FINLAND

Oh, how your last e-mail has ignited a debating! ‘The dullest country in Europe’? We are compiling a small list of ‘Finnish Delights’ to provide you with foodstuff for thinking.

• The noble reindeer.

• 397 different flavours of vodka.

• A thriving dancing scene inspired very much by your own Pan’s People.

• The Autumn Skate-a-thon in Räahe, which is lasting for four days and nights!

• Reindeer à la Grêcque, the speciality of the head chef at the Helsinki Holiday Inn.

• The annual clubbing of the pilot whales on Björkoby Island.

• The National Museum of the Herring in Väasa.

I will be making sure to send to you a copy of the Finnish Board of Tourism and Fisheries’ illuminating booklet, Finland: the Culture, the History and the Fish. I think you will be finding it most stimulatory!

Tally-ho! Pertti

PS: My own creativity boffins are now working out their first ‘well-wicked’ Coca-Cola concepts. You are baiting your breath, yes?
