Finland is a Nordic country which has borders with Russia to the East, Norway at the North and Sweden to the West and is often mistakenly referred to as a Scandinavian country. Containing approximately 188,000 lakes ( about 10% of the country ), Finns love to head to their summer cottages in the warmer months to enjoy all manner of relaxing pasttimes including Sauna, swimming, fishing and barbecuing. Visits to the North of Finland in the winter must include a sit on Santa's knee and (if you're lucky) a glimpse of the Northern Lights. (Description by Wikipedia.org)
