random fact of the day


I've been trying to take a picture of a Finland flag since I arrived, with no luck. This seems extremely weird, especially since I spent 2 days in the capital city and have been here ONE MONTH TODAY (!!), that I have not even seen one, and then this morning, 2 Finnish flags magically appeared outside my window. Yes, this is weird, so I decided to ask my roommate if I was crazy and they had been there all along. Apparently, there are only certain days of the year that the Finnish flag is allowed to be displayed. Today, being the begining of the summer solstice and the Midsummer Sun Statutory Holiday, is one of those rare occasions. So, I will get my camera out and try to get some better pictures of the flag.
I'm not really sure what other days you are allowed to put the flag up - except on your brithday, hahaha. random and weird. yes.
