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.

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!

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.

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.

Didn't know that. I guess they'd rather be called a Nordic country.
