During Midsummer in Finnish Lapland, the sun shines for a full 24 hours due to the natural phenomenon of the midnight sun. During this time, the sun does not set at all and remains visible throughout the day and night.

Oulu is known as a technology hub that has attracted several global tech companies, and it is also the host city for the Air Guitar World Championships. Additionally, cultural aspects like 'joulu' (Christmas) and 'koulu' (school) are significant in Finland, reflecting the importance of tradition and education in Finnish society.

Finland is famous for its saunas, and it is estimated that there are over 2 million saunas in the country. This figure roughly translates to about one sauna for every 2.5 individuals, given that Finland's population is around 5.5 million.

Finland is the leading developer of mobile games, and its gaming industry ranks among the five largest in Europe. 

In 2025, Finland was crowned the happiest country in the world for the eightt consecutive time. We work about 8 hours a day. After that we take time for ourselves and recharge in our country’s wild and clean nature. Side note: there are no polar bears here.​

Room for improvement, but it’s a start!
