Paradise. Really beautiful. Do you live alone or in some village? And all the land(trees, lake, ground) is your?

Oh, I own only a small plot of land around my house - no forest, nor lakes on my land :-)

I have a handful of houses near me, but this isn't a proper village. Things like supermarket, market square, library etc., they are in the village centre some 14 km away from my place. Finnish countryside is like a network of houses, fields and forests. I live in one corner of that network. In a way it is continuous chain - if I follow the roads to the other direction there is another village centre there, and houses, fields and forests dotted here and there all the way along the roads.

Oh and next question: Hod did you find ZRNÍ? It's czech band and you are finnish :D
Do you understand czech?

No, I don't understand a single word. A friend of mine posted a link to Zrni song in facebook. That friend has friends in Czech republic.

Next question. ( Sorry, I am just curious :) And I don't want to be annoying. )
In Norway there is law which says that you can camp, cut trees(I think) and more on uncultivated land.

I didn't complete sentence :D .
Is this in Finland too?

+ what the hell is this word? Epäjärjestelmällisyydellistyttämättömyydellänsäkäänköhän :D

In Finland we can walk freely, pick berries and mushroom and sleep in a tent in any forest. EDIT: well, there are some restricted forests, like military areas. And some natural parks also have restrictions on berry picking etc. But generally speaking, land owners just own the land, but anybody can walk in their lands as long as they don't cause trouble.

Cutting trees is not allowed without permission from land owner. I bet it is the same in Norway, too. But usually it is enough just to collect fallen branches, and occasionally kick down a small dead tree.

Also, the law says that starting a fire needs a permission from land owner. But that rule is paid little attention to, as everybody just uses common sense to decide when and where it is safe to have a camp-fire.

And the word you asked, I think you can find more info it if you google it or ask elsewhere. I'm a friendly person but I'm not a reply automat for every question you invent =)
