Information about Hannu:

My name is Hannu Korhonen, I have another first name also, but it is usually shown only in official papers and documents, and actually I hate it, well it is Kalevi. I was born on January 22nd 1965 in a small town called H{meenlinna, 100 kilometres North of Helsinki as the only child of my family. Because of good genes I'm 197 cm (6'5") tall. The two eyes I have, are blue and on a normal day they are covered with glasses. My hair is usually rather short cut and darkbrown in colour.

I graduated from highschool in 1984, I spent a year reading college books and working as a security guard at an exhibition at the H{me castle in my hometown. I started my studies of German Philology (= German language and literature) at the University of Turku in August 1985. As my second subject came in 1986 the Romanic Philology (= French language and literature) and Communications theory and mass media. Four and a half years I managed to study well - through summerjob I got in to work for the Finland Post Ltd, and later I got a permanent job in 1989 there.

I came to Helsinki because of work in January 1994 and till May 15th I worked as a secretary (YES, you read right, a male secretary!) in a middlesized Finnish company which is subsidiary of a huge Finnish company. Now I work as Logistics Coordinator at a small Business Unit for Nokia Networks Oy in Espoo - since 17.5.1999.

I live in an apartment (with three rooms, kitchen, bathroom and a rather large balcony) with my Darling. We have at home also six cats (Alma, Gitte, Susanna, Arnold, Elmeri and Leksa); Corn snake (Nicole); Yellow ratsnake (Niko); Californian kingsnake (Nikki); Bullsnake (Nicklas) and eight lizards (Asian Water Dragon - Agneta, Tokey-Gecko - Fabian, three Leopardgeckos - Jasmin, Jonna and Jesse, two Madagascar Day-geckos - adults - Rasmus and Ronja and one baby of theirs.

My hobbies include: animals, music (pop, disco,techno,jazz,classical), reading, correspondence, collecting (records and stamps, and also everything on/with/about Leonardo DiCaprio) etc.
