Finland, Oh Finland

This is a video made for Finland's Independence Day Celebration on 6th of December 2010!
Me and my countrymate at UWC-USA put this together to show people little bit of our Finnish awesomeness.
The music on the background is played on the diatonic accordion by me, a piece called Soittajan Kaipuu (Musician's Longing).
Enjoy and thanks for watching!

I like this video, all my compliments for the originality,,,but in the end there is "...and we all have the same national idol"...who is the person in the picture?

[heikkaa]

@fabiovetro his name is uuno turhapuro, he's one of the best known comedic characters in finland. there are many movies of him and he is just one kind of a stereotype of a finnish man, all dirty but adorable at the same time.

i love him. even though he just eats and sleeps all the time. :D
