About the language advantage. I actually haven't gotten my ways with a Swedish chick. Come to think of it, I've only had domestic women so far. Damn

I had one when I was working on M/S Mariella in '98. So way back then.

Lol, you worked on a pussyship?

Of course, one summer. I was a storagedude in the liqueour/tobacco/candystorage - Tax Free shop, Mr. Fix it with the boozedispensers in the bars and stuff.

So did my sis for a few years on weekends as a barhelp, my mom for a few years at the kids section, and my dad for 32 years on all the boats until his retirement this July. Oh, and so did my Granma as a cabin cleaner. And my gf this summer.

They pay quite nicely.

"Ei saa peittää"

Anteeksi, en puhu suomea. Which leads me to ask... how do you pronounce the double t and double ä (as opposed to a single ä.. and wtf does the ¨ even do?

ä is pronounced like a in "cat".
a is pronounced kinda like a in "car"

Double t is pronounced like the word was cut from the middle, peit-tää. Kinda.

åäö are all new letters and have little to nothing to do with a and o. You have to hear it to get it. Difficult to explain.. I'll try.

Ä is like how Americans say "Last".
Å is not in Finnish, but sounds like the o in "Dork"
Ö is the most difficult to explain. Closest I can think of the is the "I" in "First"

Doubles are long vowels, singles are short vowels. Finnish is easy in that way. When you learn to pronounce the alphabet, you can read it out loud perfectly as it's pronounced exactly the way it's spelled.

Heh, I had a cool pic from Lappi as my background for a while Burnzz, check out the pics on flickr. Just search for Lappi or Lapland..

And I know Sonata Arctica filmed this music video up there (I'm a bitch for sunsets, and the one behind Tony looks insane ) \m/ You guys get metal on your normal radio stations ay?

We have Radio Rock that plays all sorts of rock. They have some hilarious inserts containing some rock lyrics between songs every once a while.

"Dad, I spilt some milk on the floor" "Lick it up!" "Oh, come on I can't.." "Liiick it up, lick it up. It's only right now" "Whatever..." And then the song itself starts.

They're funneh.

Wiki says there's a hint of more women than men in Finland.

Sexyness? Well as long as you don't google Johanna Tukiainen or Mervi Tapola you'll be on the safe side. This is somewhat like a test. If you decide to google those names don't tell me I didn't warn ya.
