Thanks so much for sharing the history of Independence Day in Finland. It was very interesting. The shaking hand procession thing is... Weirdly awesome. I wish we had something so unifying in Italy too. We don't. And that's why there's no Italian national character, we're all much more loyal to our local traditions. Heh.
