From Janta - Finland
On the card you can see Sami people, who are Laplands' (northern Finland) aboriginals here. Reindeers are or was the only opportunity to live. My granny is half Sami but she can't speak Sami, either can I. Sami people lives still aboce Sodankgla in the east/middle of Lapland also in Norwegian, Sweden and Russia. But only above 3,000 in Finland speaks Sami languages as a mother toungue.

1If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing. 4Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, 5does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, 6does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part; 10but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away. 11When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. 12For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known. 13But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love. - 1 Corinthians 13

Hey Brian, I got you a smiley face. I being a 17-year-old from Belgium. I love to travel too, mostly student exchange projects and road trips to the nearest mountains, rocks, anything vertical. I love to climb but Belgium is a little flat and rainy. Well, I hope you have a nice day and a lot of travel fun (and sun of course).
