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.

The folk festival on a boat sounds AWESOME.
