DON'T LOOK HERE IF YOU HAVEN'T ANSWERED THE QUESTIONS!!!!!!

OK.

So here are the answers:

1. False. People eat sushi mainly in Japan, don't they? Here, some special things to eat are (very) rye bread, salmiakki (it's a  salty candy and I like very much!) and mämmi. Mämmi is something I think you wouldn't like to taste because of the way it looks, but it tastes quite good, actually. It's made of malt. 

2. True. If you read the first page carefully you knew this one. Yes, Finland's president is a woman. Her name is Tarja Halonen. She's a social democrat. Finland also has a Parliament which consists of 200 members of Parliament. Parliament elections are held every four years.
