Earth Project Galactic Guide Archives

Project Galactic Guide (PGG) is a collaborative Internet attempt at creating an electronic book meant to guide and misguide its readers in matters of life, death, and finding a parking spot anywhere in the Universe. All in order to create something as fun, helpful and brilliant as Douglas Adams' fictional Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy (HHGTTG) -- only for real.

PGG contains also an article about Finland that is written by me (written in 1994 and updated in 1998). A shorter version of this article was released also on Irish Sunday indipendent 9 March 2003. I have also made some minor updates for the article based on the feedback I got, latest version can be found here: Finland - Land of Hundreds of Thousands Lakes . I will probably try to get the updated version also for the official galactic guide at some point.
