Helsinki is definately the place to visit if you are staying in Finland just for a weekend. Another Good place would maybe be our previous capital, Turku, which is 2 hours train trip away from Helsinki. If you are staying longer, take a cruiseferry from Turku to Maarianhamina, Åland islands. The boat trip takes six hours, and you can experinece beatiful finnish archipelago on your way.

This M/S Amorella is a big ship too(About 1/3 shorter than that MSC Musica in length, if measured by gross tonnage it's half the size), it has cabins for 2000 persons, but look how small it is compared to the Oasis of the Seas. It's just mindblowing.by villej - Off-Topic
About a month ago Oasis of the seas, the new worlds biggest cruise ship was delivered from same shipyard in Turku to it's buyer, RCL. It is about one third bigger than The Freedom of the seas. -The ship can take 6296 passengers, and 2165 crew members. -It has 2706 Cabins, of which 1956 are with balcony. -525 000 m2 of steel plate has been used, and it has 2500 km of welded seam. -It haby villej - Off-Topic
Yeah, sometimes the quality MTV3s "news" is just abysmal. You don't know if you are reading some gossip magazine or a supposed to be realiable news source.by villej - F1
Now there is rumours that Citroen WRC team sponsor Red Bull is trying to get Räikkönen to drive for the Citroen factory team for the full season, and has offered him two times the salary of Sebastian Loeb.by villej - F1
I have no idea about Räikkonens motivation myself, but when we judge body language and things like that, we must remember that it's not universal.by villej - F1
"could sign", "The Guardian understands", "sources close to McLaren hinted". Nice how it seems to be just rumours which the reporter is trying to make look like facts...by villej - F1

Thanks, and good luck for you too. It is really mostly about luck how well you do, and will be intresting to see how good my choices were for the last race.by villej - Off-Topic
LOL, nice spot! :P Nah, I don't even have a TV. You need to pay too much for a licence, I have much better use for that money. I just chech the F1 section of their web site sometimes. And I also look for other news than Kimi interviews. :Pby villej - F1
Finnish TV channel MTV3 is now quoting Kimi on their website "If I want to drive a winning car, McLaren is the only option. My situation should clear out in a few days."by villej - F1

On the interview that Kimi gave to Finnish TV-channel MTV3 ha said that driving for McLaren would be a good option: "Se on yksi harvoista vaihtoehdoista. Siellä ne pystyvät takaamaan sellaisen kaluston, jolla pystyy taistelemaan voitoista. Meillä on aina ollut niiden kanssa hyvät välit. Vaikka minä vaihdoin tiimiä, niin ei se johtunut mistään sellaisesta, etteikö meillä olisi ollut hyvät väby villej - F1

It's always been ok to use runoff areas to overtake, so why it should have been different during the previous weekend? The difference in using the runoff and cutting a corner is, that cutting a corner is actually a shortcut, and you'll end up doing a shorter lap, whereas by using the runoff your lap will be longer. And regarding to the Kimis move on the first turn, you can clearlyby villej - F1

He was actually 3rd amongst other N class drivers before crashing, despite having quite bad engine problems in his Fiat. He even beat his team mate on some stages, despite the problems. Quite impressive for a novice I would say.by villej - F1
