Things people say to you when they hear you are from Finland

‘Where is it?’

‘Is it really cold?’

‘Why are you so cold you must be used to this? In fact it must be like summer for you!’ (me freezing my ass off).

NB: Missään muualla kuin Englannissa en oo kohdannu samanlaista kalsaa kylmyyttä. Yhdistettynä erittäin kylmiin ja kosteisiin taloihin. Ei hjyvä.

’Do you have reindeers?’

’Do you speak Russian?’

’Do you speak Swedish?’

’What language do you speak?’

‘What is your national dish?’ (Tasteless sauce with potato. Lots of potato.)

‘What was the band who won the Eurovision that was from Finland? Oh yes Lordi!’

‘Insert your random here fact about Finland the person wants to tell you. Or a loose connection to Finland.’
