I'm currently reading the Ken Jennings book on geography. He talks about a lot of stuff, and some of it is really skimmable, but every once in a while, he throws out an interesting tidbit. Last night I read that the border between Finland and Russia is a really stark contrast in places because in Finland, real estate is presumably at a premium, so they use up more of it with farmland, while right next door in Russia, they just let the trees grow because they have all the room they need.

I thought I'd use that as a "where is it?" but it would be too hard and get tedious.
