yes, me too!

and they're good indeed, although I hear Finns are pretty good at it too

I so love this clip, this is how supposedly Swedes see Finnish way of drinking:

haha
I think that is true, I know I imagine Finnish people as much more extreme and passionate than Swedish people. I mean just the fact that they have Finnish Tango
They are different than Swedes, Swedes are more boring and drink to be able to socialise

Really? I heard Finns do that too and that beer for them is the lubricant for conversation since otherwise they're a bit moody and taciturn

is it true Swedes and Finns don't really like each other?

this is a bit bizarre - extremely slow tango in the snow:

this is their gentle approach at training:

haha nice videos, they are not weaklings

I don't know if there is a dislike between Finnish and Swedish people, maybe when there is a hockey game
Maybe it is more in the areas to the border? I really have no idea, sometimes I read in the newspaper that they don't want to learn Swedish in Finnish schools anymore, I don't know if that is everywhere that they learn it, but there seems to be an aversion to it. Maybe it's more dislike from the Finnish side?

I've always liked this picture, it showes the Swedish mentality

Lol

i've found similar images for the Finns:



But I think you're right, it's most likely because Swedish is also an obligatory language, and if I remember correctly, Finland was part of Sweden for long time...probably some grudges from the past.

haha so we are not alone in waiting in solitarity for the bus
When my bf parents (dutch) first came to Sweden I hade to explain to them that if they sit down next to somone on the bus, if there is free seat somewhere else then they will think that you are crazy.

At some point or other I think that almost every Scandinvian country has owned another or so

Maybe also because of our neutral (shameful) history in WWII...
Or maybe just beacuse it's fun to make jokes about your neighbours

Well, the Finns were sort of on the wrong side in the early part of the war, they fought Russia and got some support from Nazi Germany. They didn't fight for Nazism though, just to recover the territories Russia took from them earlier.

Sweden was lucky they could afford to be neutral, the Netherlands and Belgium were between Germany and France. They really invaded our country just so they could get to France and circumvent their defenses.

Sitting next to someone on the bus when there are empty seats is also considered rude in the Netherlands. I think in most places people evenly divide space between and only sit or stand close together when there is no room.

That drunken Russian is pretty far gone. I don't speak Russian but I cought "robote" which means to work as far as I know.

At first I thought it was the guy being interviewed who was drunk, but then Pissed McDrunkski walked into the scene.
I'm not too sober myself today, another holiday here, something Christian that no one knows anymore how it related to Christianity.

they theory is they float down on ice and come to shore. its an odd sitting but happens every so often.
yeah that sounds terrible. the fish zoo place has a bird area, from what I understand its a large inclosure, so they can fly around and stuff.

yep I could stargaze most nights when not cloudy which is sadly most times. as a kid use to go out and watch shooting stars.

we have lots of birds. some live in our house's air ducts >.< my mom wants me to trap the babies inside and let them die :'( I couldn't do it.




thanks, hugs.



idk look at our history. they are the normal ones sadly

yeah I hear europe is pretty messed up after thousands of years of environmental abuse.

think people are like that everywhere. i know it didn't use to be but people have become so antisocial. though we do space out at stops its not that spaced out, just 1-2 feet away from each other. no one likes sitting next to anyone unless they know the person.

Lol could be

Lol I wish things are like that here it's not that I mind people sitting next to me, but when complete strangers are eager to strike a conversation to the clueless me, it can be a bit weird, since that apparently is normal here

i guess being an Aspie is easier in the northern countries since there is less pressure for talking? Or there are drawbacks somewhere else.

Not here though, everyone is so eager to sit next to someone else, people here are talkative and sociable to the extreme, and everyone who isn't like that is considered extremely weird

but yes, I feel sorry for the Finns, they lost some parts of Karelia in WWII, i don't think they'll ever forgive that to the Soviets...



Pissed McDrunkski

One Finnish friend linked me to that video - I wonder who can drink more, Finns or Russians?

rabota is work here as well, but in a sense of a very tiring work.

and yes, it's funny how Christians turned every pagan tradition into a Christian one, just changed the names and costumes a bit...

wow trap their babies inside??? why not let them live, I don't get such logic. who can be bothered by baby birds?

My grandma would bury young kitties like that, it's just abominable. She lived in the country side, so those cats would feed by themselves, there was no need for some anti-population politics.

Shooting stars? I only saw that at the seaside which is a bit less polluted.

Hope those bears find the way back though! With the current global warming they might be more those broken ice sheets floating....



Hugs back!



Yes, just fields of crops, towns, deforested areas, and a few patches of wilderness, not much anything else.

and due to deforestations, some mountains have been completely washed out of soil.... Some say Venice was built on our trees from Mt Biokovo, which is now bare rock.

but yes, today is so "normal" to kill in the name of just about anything that suits one's fancies....

The Netherlands is only 11% forest, rest is all cities and farmland. Pretty much all big animals are wiped out, such as wolves and bears. Long ago they even had elephants and lions and other animals usually associated with Africa, but they were wiped out looong ago. They still find bones from those animals in the North Sea, that area used to be land some 8.000 years ago. Here's a map of Doggerland, the bit between Britain and the continent. People also used to live there, the first humans in Britain likely just walked there:
