This great idea came to me after one of the english lessons at the institute. Theme of the lesson was: What books can be sold well if you own a printhouse? One book from the list was with this name. We laughed, but then I thought - yeah, why not?
The Pictorial History of Toilets
(in Russian)
Some funny or strange things about Finland:
- taxes on dogs and TV-sets;
- forest in the middle of the city, and a lot of wild animals from squirells till mooses and bears (moose i've seen myself, it was crossing road in the center of Espoo-city).
- if u dont buy a ticket in the bus, fine is 60 euro.
- if u drive a car too fast, the fine could be 31 000 euro.
- saunas are everywhere, even in student's apartments
- average finn stays without water in the tap 14 min/year
- u can drink alcohol on the street/parks only once in a year - at 1st of May (officially of course)
- u can buy strong drinks (means over 4.7%) only in state shop Alko, which is closed in evenings and sundays.
