Very Inspiring Blogger Award, thanks Shaun!

Shaun of Looking for reasoning to a complicated world blog has been so kind to nominate this blog for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award. Thank you for this fine gesture!

Rules:

I have to say 7 things about myself. Then, nominate 15 people for the award.

Seven things about myself:

1. I was in Finland for a short time, but still one of the few Finnish words which I know is “korkeushyppy” (high jump in track and field).

2. Where did the visitors to my blog come from this week?

Thanks again for nominating me!

I am not sure about statistics where my blog’s followers are from.

The United States is usually the country with most visits to my blog. When the blog was still at Blogsome, some 40-50% of visits used to be from the USA. Now, it is about 33%.
