Its Been A Week in Finland







Today marks my first week in Finland. Hence, i am here to express my impression about Suomi.

Finnish is always drunk. This is for sure. Drinking (a lot) is their culture, so you can see late at night, someone walking in dizzy, talking nonsense (not always) to stranger but in a very friendly way, you bet he is a Finnish.

Finnish likes coffee. Every class i have, they have coffee break. Lecturer will get a cup of coffee to wake up their brain cells, maybe coffee can cure yesterday's drunk hang over? i guess so.

Finnish is erotically cool. Most of the teens got piercings, girls have extreme colour dye on their hair, like pink, blue, green... They are always dressed like rock star.

Finnish can be cool if you don't know them, but once you are close to them, they are one of your best friend that you can get. Finnish is nice people generally.

Finnish sauna is the trademark. I tried and i starting to like it. In sauna, they heat up the rocks and pour water on them. The vapour rises and heat the whole room up. People inside soak in sauna naked. It is the culture, respect and bear with it. Its nothing after all. Keep cool~ Hence, Finnish child got early sex education.

So this is my impression about Finnish and Finland. I guess there will be more to be discovered. Time and people will show me the uniqueness of Finns.
