Actual Finland 101

- Don't sit next to someone on a bus if there are other free seats available.

- Be on time. It's not 5 past, it's ON TIME.

- Learn how to queue.

- You can make small talk; just make it actually about something.

- Weather is great topic of discussion.

- Say hello to the clerk at the food market.

- We hate group assignments, stop making it happen. It's akward.

- There should always be coffee. Nowadays a lot of people prefer tee but still, coffee and it's variants is the thing.

- We are not that bad at using alcohol as it has been potrayed. I think the Irish are worse.

- Respect our privacy; we will open up to you when we are ready.

- We love woollen socks.

- Many people hate winter in Finland. I think they are lying.

- Summer is short and depending on the weather, it can be as cold as Christmas time or as hot as +30 C. So, yeah, be prepared either way.

- We are not uneducated savages who dress up like hillbillies (YEAH, I'M TALKING TO YOU MAGNUS FROM DENMARK.)

- We can dance. We can talk. We can laugh. We are human.
