I liked finland. They were quite nice and helpful, as long as you've kept your distance. Also they like to hide their houses in trees and bushes and that's always awesome.

Huh? That would mean that germany and the us are only 1, 2 hours apart? Are you sure you didn't misunderstand them?

How is Norway? They seem chill. Munch is cool.

Norway is amazing, stunningly beautiful and the people are super nice. The food wasn't horrible I did get to eat elk (moose) which was pretty good with lingonberries on it. The beer was nice, especially the Christmas beer. I would totally live there, but it is expensive.

I was in Finland for 5 weeks, 2 for work, 3 for pleasure, and I loving loved the place.

Everything just works, public services are great, people are friendly-ish to dumb foreigners, and everyone generally keeps to themselves.

Property is cheap, you get loads of space, and traffic jams outside of Helsinki are almost non-existent. When we pull up to traffic lights and there is more than one car in front of us, my host would say "oh great, traffic jam".

Those refugees are idiots.

Yes, I am a war refugee with nothing but the clothes on my back, but unless you give me free housing on a tropical beach, I can probably find another *better* country to be a refugee in, if you catch my drift. You don't want to be known as the country that's such poo poo that nobody wants to seek refuge in you, do you? Do you?

Finns will absolutely tell you random real sounding "facts" because they can get away with it and because it's "huumor"
