| [slm] Thank you everyone for the welcoming! And thanks for Memento Mori for the joke! It was quite funny! But seriously it isn't THAT cold in here... Usually in winter it's around -10*C, can be a lot colder though, and in summer around +20*C! Now we've had beatiful sunshine in past two days and quite warm too, +10-+15*C! Finland is very beautiful country indeed, if you want to know more there is a very good site in english: http://virtual.finland.fi [wlm] |
