Janne (Adult - but still a child):

What´s your favourite country so far? Why?

Irland.
I have always been interested in the Irish culture, both the pagan era and the christian era. And the hospitality of the people, there are no strangers in Ireland only friends who haven't met.

How do Finnish people differ from other people?

The Finns live along with the four seasons. One can notice, for example, in the spring. Not only the nature comes to bloom, the people also.

What sides in yourself are revealed when abroad?

Nothing much differ. If I stay for a longer period I long for typical finnish stuff. For example I never listen to Eppu Normaali, in Finland, but when I lived in London I had to buy one CD.

Are there things you wanna change in the world if you were God?

Actually no. The world is perfect as it is now. It too bad with all the wars and supression of the people and with wasting of global resources. But I think it is as God inteded.

Martin:

What´s your favourite country so far? Why?

India; huge, beautiful country with a completely different culture, fascinating religions and customs, beautiful nature and simply the best food.

How do Finnish people differ from other people?

Silent and honest. A compliment from a Finn is a Real Compliment.

What sides in yourself are revealed when abroad?

My real more-than-average social self, because it's easier to get to know strangers abroad. I also understand who of my friends are really important for me, who I really miss.

Are there things you wanna change in the world if you were God?

People shouldn't transfer hate through generations. I believe in the basic concept of Karma. Good comes back to you. Even if it wouldn't, you have brought something good into the world, and your life has had a positive impact.
