I'm a married man having lived with an exceptional woman for more than 35 years. We have five children (they are adult, of course) but some of them are still at home (students). It's fine having some good friends regardless their nationality or a place of living. In fact, I prefer anybody from Finland because I'm trying to learn their interesting language (being a self-taught person). But it doesn't mean I would refuse nice persons from any other country. I'm able to write in English. I can even swap some postcards. I love reading, writing, exchanging thoughts of various topics.
