Mystery Skype #7 - Finland

Our next new mystery Skype comes all the way from Finland! She lives near the Capital in Espoo. Finland is called the land of the "Midnight Sun". The sun is out most of the twenty four hours of the day. They have long winters which is why most of their sports are snow based sports like cross country skiing. They used to be a part of Sweden but only 5% speak Swedish while most speak Finnish. Finland is celebrating their 100th anniversary of freedom this year. But the population is small with only 5 million people in Finland which is odd compared to the 108,000 islands that Finland has. One big attraction in Finland is the Northern lights which our friend in Finland can drive not far to see them.
