When three handsome guys from the Finnish parkour team invited Mr. Song to watch an excellent parkour performance, Mr. Song still did not know that he had become the lucky visitor today. Then, he received warmest congratulations from Ms. Annikka Alanko, Pavilion Director of Finland Pavilion, Mr. Peter Zeitlin, the Sales Director at Finnair Shanghai, and the most famous Finn in the World, Santa Claus from Lapland in Northern Finland.
The gift presented to Mr. Song is 1 free economy round trip ticket from Shanghai to Helsinki and a continuing trip to one other Finnair European destination. Helsinki has been selected as the World Design Capital in 2012. Mr. Song was happily surprised about it.

After the VIP guided tour, Mr. Song said, that he now realized that Finland is very advanced in environmental protection and technology, and is also very close to the nature. He feels that Finland is very suitable to living. It is unlike other big cities where there are steel and cement forest everywhere. The idea of Better city, Better life is very well presented there and it should be the model for the future cities.
The visitor flow to Finland pavilion Kirnu has exceeded expectations. The accumulated amount of visitors reached 2 millions on July 15th. After one month, it again broke through 3 million. Ms. Alanko said with a big grin on her face, “The population in Finland is 5.3 million. If the daily visitor flow continues with the same pace as it is now, the total visitor flow to Finland Pavilion during the Expo will surpass the population of Finland. The figure is far beyond the expectation during our preparation phase and we are very happy about that. We also hope that our visitors have enjoyed their visit here and will visit Finland some day.”
