Finnsplaining

Maybe we Finns tend to be more on the quiet side. But there is one thing we won't shut up: explaining how good we have things here in Finland. It's like we are living in this magical wonderland like Narnia or something. Another way how somebody put it what I have heard is that Finland is like Narnia because we are so quiet you can hear the animals talk.

This might also be the only occasion we say something good about the Sweden as well as we like to include all of the Nordics in our praises. After all they are our dear enemies, still better than the others.

I don't want to finnsplain how good we have here, even though there might be some truth to that. To consolidate all of you who can't for a reason or other live here it's not all that great all the time. Take our long, dark and cold winters for example: not so great.

 

Of course Finland's population is so small that statistically we might have equal chances of being a real place as Narnia. I might as well be writing this by the Great river at Cair Paravel.
