RWB 229 September 22, 2014 Share September 22, 2014 I think they are good neighbour(I'm a Swede), and that I'm happy to have finnish blood in the family(not really to the degree that I'm blood-related, but my Grandfather's sister married a finn and her grandchildren are really sweet). 1 "The meaning of life?

Admiral Regulus 2,769 September 22, 2014 Share September 22, 2014 I once had a friend who wanted to go to Finland... beyond the point of obsession. I got annoyed hearing about how great the place is supposed to be, so forgive me if I'm a little cynical. 1 Tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel Accord 6,660 September 22, 2014 Share September 22, 2014 (edited) When I think of Finland, one of the first things to come to mind is Norse mythology. Not sure if the Finnish worshipped the Aesir but that's what comes to mind.

murp662 16 September 22, 2014 Share September 22, 2014 Being a Norwegian, I know that Finland is a nice country covered in forests and lakes. I know that almost no Norwegian can understand Finnish, and usually makes fun of it, but also that every Norwegian school will tell the students how we must try to reach the high school results in Finland. I know that the capital is Helsingfors (or Helsinki) and it has one of the most badass cathedrals of Scandinavia, that the classical composer Sibelius is Finnish, and that there are some other musicians I don't remember the names of. And also Finland gave us this lovely children's cartoon: If there was one thing that gave Scandinavian kids childhood traumas, it was this thing. I still shudder just thinking about her. The Groke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treble Bolt 1,122 September 25, 2014 Share September 25, 2014 I was listening to some folk music this morning and was reminded of Finland again. The Kantele is amazing! For those that do not know what a Kantele is, here's a video. It's a nice instrument belonging to the dulcimer family. This is by a group called Loituma, who are a Finnish folk band. They are most well known for the leek spin song. 1 "In fire iron is born, by fire it is tamed" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Cedar 1,408 September 25, 2014 Share September 25, 2014 There are two things from Finland that I will always be grateful to that country for: saunas and Apocalyptica. Also, any country that Monty Python makes a song about has to be a cool place. 1 Roleplaying OC: Red Cedar - Cast Character: Applejack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrubbed user 3,416 September 25, 2014 Share September 25, 2014 Finland's contributions to the world of motorsports is long and storied. Not so much cars or teams, but drivers. Vatanen, Aaltonen, Rosberg (Technically, just Keke. Nico has dual-citizenship of Finland and Germany, but his passport says Germany on it.), Raikkonen, Mäkinen, Bo77as (See what I did there?), Hakkinen, and Toivonen to name a few. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dewdlz 938 November 7, 2014 Share November 7, 2014 I haven't really researched the topic of Finland, other than I know one of my favorite musicians live there called HIM.

daviddaviddavid 776 November 30, 2019 Share November 30, 2019 I love Finland, and Finns too (even part-Finns; @ridaranka is partially Finnish for example). I've only visited once, back in 2011(?) I think, and I was only there for a week - but I would definitely like to return someday. Beautiful weather, great nature/scenery and wonderful traditions/culture. If I were better acquainted with the incomprehensible language (I tried learning a bit of it when I was 15-ish and failed) I'd consider moving there someday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splashee 28,563 November 30, 2019 Share November 30, 2019 Finland is a wonderful place! I am not biased as I am only 1/4th Finnish. The language is very unique and beautiful. The people there are strong (they fought off Russia for god's sake!). @Tacodidra proves that Finland has some very friendly people! I have also visited Finland myself once... Oh twice (a cruise ship)...... Åland is Finland too, okay three times! I used to know how to count to 10 in Finnish, but it was always that "seven" that eluded me: Seitse... sei.... agh! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Here No Longer 5,276 November 30, 2019 Share November 30, 2019 (edited) The statistics say everything on this one. Good healthcare, good education, and it's the happiest nation in the world. I think it's among the best countries in the world right now, and it doesn't take much to see why. I'd honestly like to live there as long as I can find some food that I'd actually touch with a ten foot pole, let alone eat.
