Quote:Hey, can I ask a question, or are you already Finnished?

What I'm wondering is, why don't you guys like being called eskimos anymore? And how do you know whose turn it is to walk the penguin? How do you play hockey without breaking a window?

You bring a smile to my face.

Quote:What's the best place to vacation in Finland and why?

Either the very southern part or the very northern part. In south are the cities and in north are the reindeers. Everything in between is forest.
Quote:Why are there so many lakes?

We have a special way of doing math.

Quote:Do you like to yump in your car?

No, I would hit my head on the roof.

I'm assuming that you've seen the Aurora Borealis, but don't know how far north you live (Lapland by any chance?). Does it become so commonplace that it just becomes part of the background?

We are proud of them! Finnish media already declared them winners a long time ago.

I have to admit I've never seen it. I come from the south so I haven't had any chance really. I've been in Lapland quite a few times during winter but wasn't lucky enough. It's probably not that common.

Quote:What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?

I play video games and watch movies mostly. Not the most social guy.

What do Finns like to do for vacation? And where do Finns like to go for vacation?

Is it that cold in Finland as they say?

And are Muslims really invading Finland?

Are Finns usually so expressively joyous?
