Hi people. I'm a 19-year-old boy from Finland. I like to play old video games obviously containing Phantasy Star games. I also like to play video game music by piano.

Yes. Vodka is more Russian.
The equivalent in Finland is Koskenkorva, or Kossu in slang term.

We finns also hold the record for getting closest to absolute zero... Do we, anymore? O.o
Also we hold (from wikipedia): the record for the largest number of people singing karaoke at one time, for 80,000 people singing "Hard Rock Hallelujah" on 26 May 2006 in Helsinki after Lordi won the Eurovision Song Contest.

Yes, we are a bit odd people.
