ColdFireYYZ Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Have you ever been there? Scandinavia seems like a nice place to visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I believe there is a hotel made of ice in Finland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarizeMe Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Finland (as well as the other Nordic countries) is one of my favorite countries despite the fact I'm don't have any Finnish blood in me. I think I read somewhere that Finland is one of the best countries to live in currently since their education system is supposedly better than the one in the US. It's been the #1 place I'd love to visit since I was in middle school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 of the 7 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 My grandmother (mom's mother) was Norwegian, and I've been over there twice, but the one and only time I was in Finland was a stopover in the airport in Helsinki on the way to Russia. I remember it looked kind of bleak, but the area around the airport in most places looks that way, so it's not much to go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good,bad,andrush Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 QUOTE (Union 5-3992 @ Apr 1 2012, 07:42 PM) http://static.neatorama.com/images/2006-02/conan-finland-president.jpg http://chawedrosin.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/finland-afraid.jpg Finland is badass. I want to live there or in Sweden when I grow up. I loe Europe and Scandinavia is my favorite part, probably in the world but I won't ever be sure because I've only ever visited places here in the US and in Mexico. I quoted that post because wasn't there some Finnish sniper, the White Death or something, who killed over 400 people, despite freezing weather, lack of food, and a party of snipers looking for him? Supposedly he was even shot and shrugged it off like nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetersvt Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 QUOTE (ColdFireYYZ @ Mar 29 2012, 07:04 PM) Have you ever been there? Scandinavia seems like a nice place to visit. Finland is not part of Scandinavia. I learned this just a few years ago. Scandinavia is composed of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. I was told that it can be considered at insult to a Finn to call them part of Scandinavia. I too, would love to go to Finland or any of the Nordic countries.

I guess they'd rather be called a Nordic country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbirdsong Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I have heard that the Finnish people are among the most stoic in the world. Don't bother me it this is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
