My sister has a very nice ceramics and natural treatments company in Finland, called Jarna Schildt. She is making fabulous hand-made ceramics and doing natural treatments like shiatsu and aromatherapy. I highly recommend to take a look at her products.

One of my very good finnish friends is Mervi Vallinkoski. I met her in Vienna 1997. Now she is living with her husband Ilkka in a beautiful region in Finland - in the countryside of Jyväskylä, having a succesful carreer as a landscape architect.

Because I was born and grown up in Kotka (Finland), it is a very important and special city to me. In Kotka's homepage one can learn more about this beautiful city by the sea.

Now I am living in Vienna, which I find as a very historical and romantic town.

And - about the castles. I have collected a lot of links about the castles from all around the world, and listed them alphabetically. One can also find links like "castles and gardens" or "lego castles" from there.
