Japanese was useful when I was younger and meeting girls and building rice burners. Finnish is, well, complicated doesn't begin to describe it. Supposedly the 2nd hardest language to learn behind Mandarin. I live in Finland now, so in order to get a job here you have to speak Finnish unless you live in Helsinki. So its pretty much force fed on us foreigners here to learn it. Basically, you know how we change everything in America to include Spanish. Well the Finnish are just the opposite, they pretty say that if you are going to live here, you have to learn their language.

I used to do a lot of business with Nokia back in the day, but I haven't been to Finland since 1999. My memory of the Finns is of them taking their own bottle of liquor to a party and then just drinking straight out of the bottle.

Inconvenient for travelers, but this is the way is should be. I hate seeing Spanish shite in Texas. They are making teachers in some schools label things in Spanish and English. I would pull my kid out of that school immediately.
