Finland

This post is for Inari, a citizen of Finland who I was grateful to speak with. She taught me a lot about the country, and wanted me to share it with my viewers because in her words "Some people do not even know Finland is a country." And thats the point of this blog! To get other people to see that their country is only a small part of what the world really is. And we can always learn more about our neighbors around the world.

Finland's flag was designed to have a white background for the snows of Finland and blue for its lakes. The blue was in the form of a "Nordic cross" similar to those used by nearby Scandinavian countries.

Finland is a European country, located in the northern part of the continent neighboring Norway, Russia, and Sweden. The capital of Finland is Helsinki. In terms of area, it is the 7th largest country in Europe, however its population is very small because 85% of the land is covered by forests and lakes. 


Did you know? Finland is a constitutional republic and became a member of the European Union in the year 1995.

The Philippines

The Philippines

The Philippines, otherwise known as the Republic of the Philippines are located in Southeast Asia in the Western Pacific Ocean. After speaking with some people from the Philippines, I was surprised to her that the republic consists of 7,107 different islands! It is however divided into three geographical areas- Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. The nation is surrounded by neighboring countries, such as the Republic of China, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Palau. The Philippines is the only Southeast Asian country that shares no land borders with its neighbors. Their capital city is Manila. Filipino is the primary language on these islands, with English being a close second. 

Did you know? The Philippine flag is the only flag in the world which is hoisted upside-down when the country is in war.

India

It is our goal here to get viewers and supporters from across the world, and among the people I have shared this page with so far, Indians have been my biggest fans. Though they have not all shared their stories on here, I have learned a lot about India. For those of you who don't know, this is the Indian flag. 

Located in South Asia below China and Pakistan, India has a population of 1.21 billion people. It's capital is New Delhi, and it's largest city is Mumbai. Their government is run by president Pratibha Patil.
