If you ever would need - not sure why - to get a Finnish drivers license, or happen to drive in Finland here is a quick crash course test to see if you can pass and decipher some of the Finnish traffic signs.
Just to confuse things a little I have added some commentary - you can decide to believe them or not!
1. Lets just relax first with a cup of strong Finnish coffee :)
2. T - T - T- T- T ti,ti, ti, ti,...
3. If you do this - you might end up
4. Waist deep in the water
5. Got some weight on there boy...
6. You can land your airplane here!
7. Ok, so not all areas in Finland have road yet!
8. Where is the dude from the bike? You better just walk.
9. This might go with -
10. - this
11. Whoa! Feel the speed!
12. This guy looks like he needs to go -
13. there...
If you run into this sign below you have gone way too far and decided to visit Liz instead of Finland :)
DID YOU THINK YOU PASSED?
For those that may not know - I grew up in Finland. My home town is in Northern Finland above the Arctic Circle, where we have more reindeer than people (so we say).

Rita- I never even paid attention to the fact that Finland is above the Arctic Circle. I will have to go and look at my globe now and show Tristan. Geography and history and science are his favorite subjects. I love Geography too. Oh, I started laughing at the one where you said the guy looks like he has to go! Katerina
