Lomonosov, (then Oranienbaum,) was the birthplace of Igor Stravinsky, one of my favourite composers. You've just been checking out the museum of Bitterballen in Finland. Stravinsky's first home is your next stop. Kudos if you get there via the gulf of Bothnia!

Mr Bob -

Incidentally, while I'm thinking about Finland and composers, I'd like to give a shout-out for another of my favourite composers, Sibelius. Check this piece (which my choir sung a while back,) out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QD45LX_DQQk

"Birthplace of Stravinsky" and map of Finland? WTF???

Mr Bob -

Yes, it's a map of Finland. (I was thinking about you coming from there when I decided to start making this.) Then I realised that Stravinsky, who, as I'm sure you're aware, was a Russian national, was born in a town fairly close to Finland. I like Stravinsky. I put the one and only target in this game roughly in the place where he was born. Then I did a shout-out to Sibelius, a Finnish composer whom I also like, in the comments. Read my first comment Ossi. Hopefully the weird way my brain works will start making just a little sense...

Mr Bob -

also, read the blurb at the top!

Mr Bob -

All that said, I guess I can see where you're coming from. If you did a map of New Zealand, where I come from, and then put the target on roughly where Sydney in Australia is, and titled it, "Birthplace of Hugh Jackman," I guess I'd be a bit mystified...

Mr Bob -

Oh, and while I'm at it - pretty great map of Finland eh? Eh? Eh?
