I have experienced bullying here in Finland but found also very loving people as well. I have lived in Sweden also and have both good and bad experiences.
The deep, uninterrupted silence of a crowded bus or metro in Finland on a weekday morning should be enough to prove that Finns are quite alright with sitting quietly with their thoughts. Finnish people are not big believers in small talk; in fact, they would rather sit in silence than try to fill it with empty formalities.
- My boyfriend’s mom prepared a syrup for my son as she was concerned about his weight.
- Not to mention the terrible swarms of mosquitoes who stalk you like a shoal of hungry piranhas.
- Finnish people don’t understand the concept of dating several people at the same time.
- There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data.
- That’s 4 days of wasted time and travel expenses.
It was the weirdest thing about the country. It is a sour confectionary that they consume a lot in daily life. Even a Turkish guy like myself would not prefer that spicy jelly candies. I would love to be able to speak some Finnish.
Finnish People Physical Characteristics and Traits
Finns just need an ice breaker and a topic and they’ll talk. But maybe talking about your sister’s rash really isn’t the best conversation opener…it probably just makes people feel awkward.
I can´t understand how stupid some people can be. They come here as groupies and think https://fracturedstate.net/scandinavian-women-stereotypes/finnish-women-stereotypes/ they can be in some inner circles.
Finns are by far the weirdest of the Nordics
I am an old dutch man of 83, with a long visitors experience of northern Finland, as well as Sweden en Norway. 3) Foreigners are treated bad when they have different look or skin colors, hidden racism but easier to notice. Correction, one of the worst countries in Europe for following reasons.
Scandinavian is first and foremost a linguistic adjective. Finland differs from Scandinavian countries in that the Finnish language belongs to the Uralic language group whereas languages spoken in Scandinavian countries are Scandinavian languages of the Indo-European group. There has been a lot of intermixing so the ethnic and cultural differences between nations are not so clear-cut, but the linguistic ones really are. I have never been to US, but as a Finn I see you Americans as friends and allies, as I do see Swedes, and this post is meaningless.
As for Finland’s educational benefits for students, Finnish schools offer state-funded schooling which makes it easier for women and men to go to work after being on parental leave. Women represent 32% of students studying in mathematics and computer science.
I find it very positive to see that many young people in Finland are more open to new ideas and having more courage to brake some tabus. It is been seen more and more around the world, thanks to the Internet. Very much love to everyone, where ever you may live and welcome to Finland even though I may not speak to you very much because of my social anxiety .
