Opeth is playing tonight in Ankkarock, FINLAND!!

Finns feel bitterness towards the Swedish, because the Swedes don't have to live next to Russia* :D

But seriously, the thing is, even though only about 5% of Finns speak Swedish as their mother tongue, EVERYONE has to learn it at school...to some degree at least.
I don't really understand why most Finns whine about it though, Swedish is one of the easiest languages in the world - in terms of grammar at least. And if you speak some other Germanic language, you won't have problems with pronunciation either. But I guess there's the problem, Finnish isn't a Germanic language and Finns have a hard time learning a language they'll hardly ever need to use :lol:

*Some trivia: Finland has the biggest artillery in Western Europe - I wonder why :lol:
It's better you guys learn English in school instead of Swedish because most of you suck at English.

:p
 
No no, We Finlanders are good in English. Compared to like any other country in Europe.
 
Finns are nearly as good with English as Swedes, which is really good considering that our language has nothing to do with English, but Swedish does. The Spanish, Italians and French etc. are generally A LOT worse, I think it's partly cause everything is dubbed/translated there from videogames to TV shows.
 
Does any body know where to find the pictures that were taken by the photographers at the beginning of the gig I asked one photographer, who considered me to be an attraction, (cuz I look so different than the Finns and especially cuz I was waving my home country's flag, Israel) and he said that the photos will be in a magazine called fatser of fazer could barely hear him

I found only one picture so far (thanks to a new friend I met there who knew me from the forum), I look so damn evil hehehhee :heh:
