I don't understand how all these hot chicks end up in Finland. Like it is cold most of the time. How does this happen?

Is Iceland in any way a descendant from any Scandinavian countries? I want to go to Iceland, Finland and Greenland.

Those pictures represent what an average Finn looks like. I'm willing to bet most of us Finns posting in this forum looks somewhat along those lines.

It's the dark winters and wide spread alcoholism that does it.
You're a Sweed ain't ya? SPEAK IT!

Of course! Also the communal/family sauna. i've heard kids dress up in druid costumes in EASTER. I'm also under the impression than Finland doesn't have a lot of poulation density so I imagine landscape to be houses or settlements kms away from each other. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

You think it's weird that naked people stay together in sauna while hitting themselves with birch branches? I guess it's understandable.

The easter thing like before mentioned is witches, not druids. Here is a pic of me as a kid on easter:


There are places where that density thing is real, but people have moved a lot to cities as the agricultural occupations have lessened. 1/5 of finnish people live in the Helsinki metropolitan area.

I used to live in Vantaa that's a city next to Helsinki, but now I live in a small village that only has 1300 people. Sometimes when you grow older you need the peace.

That's cool. :)
Are you in Finland atm? How is the weather and life there? If Sweden, Finland and Norway went into war, who would dominate? What's the common dish? Sorry...

In Finland right now.
Weather is horrible. Temperature hovers around 0 celsius so sometimes it's minus degrees and windy so it's super cold.
Another day it's on the plus side and it's raining and everything is wet.

Someone more Finnish can answer about war and common dishes. Finns aren't known for their food.

I'm in Finland. It's cold, snowy and dark.. very dark, I have less than 5 hours of daylight a day and over 19 hours of darkness - and it's still getting darker. Sweden, Finland and Norway would never go into war, it'd be bad for the Ikea in Haparanda. And the common dish depends on where you are, but unless you live in near the Russian border it'll be quite fishy, or reindeery.

Tell me moar!

Really simplifying here but, 'vikings' from norway headed away from norway to obtain their own land, had a pitstop in ireland, kidnapped some people as slaves and ended up finding Iceland.

So most Icelander's ancestry can be traced back to norway / ireland

Iceland was uninhabited until Norsemen found the island and settled it in the 8th century, so Icelanders, Danes, Swedes and Norwegians are all descended from the Norse. Old Norse is the common ancestor to Icelandic, Danish/Swedish/Norwegian but aside from Faroese Icelandic is the closest related language to Old Norse.

Don't be fooled by the weather in Helsinki, it's nothing compared to the rest of the Finland. I'm living about in the middle of the Finland and there is snow, darkness and trees everywhere and no signs of civilisation. Visiting Rovaniemi during the winter is also quite interesting experience.

Also if Sweden-Gaf has their own thread in community why can't Finland have one too? Seems like there are enough Finns here and we're the best part of Scandinavia anyway.

No one has bothered to make one. =D

No voishan meillä olla paikka missä ollaan virallisesti puhumatta toisillemme. Mutta ihan aikuisten oikeasti: suomalaiset ja kevyt keskustelu...

Koitin viime viikonloppuna smalltalkia, puhuin itsemurhista lähipiirissä. Aihe ei uponnut kovin hyvin.

I wonder whether there are any stereotypes in Europe and the rest of world regarding Finns and smalltalk.

Super warm for the season, mind you. Last year it was -20C around this time.

Do it so I can read your bizarre language.

Tyhjästä on paha nyhjäistä.

No mutta internetissä se on edes hieman helpompaa !

I would be up for a Finnish OT. There's surprising many of us here.
Voitas oikeen porukalla puhua säästä! Ei vaan, kyllä sitä juttua irtoaisi. Keva bonuksista aina sinne rakennuspaketin leikkauksiin...

Tai sit puhutaan tärkeistä asioista, eli itse Poskesta.

Mediahype tuota keikkaa kohtaan on naurettavaa jo nyt, onneksi olen varmaan armeijassa itse keikan aikoihin niin ehkä onnistun jotenkin välttymään asiasta kuulemiselta.

Ai se räpperi... mikäsenniminyolikaan, cheek? Räppi kiinnostaa vähän ja suomiräppi vielä vähemmän.
Turha taistella vastaan. Cheek mania vie sutkin, ennemmin tai myöhemmin.

Vois varmaa men nukkuu, et pääsee töihinki huomenna. Pistäkää suomi thread mietintään.
 
Joo ei sillä että itsekkään kuuntelisin, mutta kaipa siitä joku pitää kun stadikan myi täyteen ja nyt porukka myy aikamoisella profikalla noita lippuja huuto.netissä. Vain elämää teki aika hyvää Cheekin uralle...

Toinen tapa välttyä asian kuulemiselta on sitten lie vanhentua, olen autuaan tietämätön kaikesta tällaisen poskipojan suunliikuttelusta yleisön edessä. Kun minä olin armeijassa, niin Kajaanin Dominossa kalja maksoi 5 markkaa ja paikallinen strippari hinkkas inttipojan pipolla pimppalooraansa samaan hintaan. Se teki minusta miehen.

Siitä tule mitään. Porukat postaa tähän jonku aikaan ja sit innostus loppuu. Ei meistä ole vakituiseen threadiin.

Since there is probably never going to be an Estonian-GAF OT , Im just gonna hide in some dark corner of this thread.
