@Scottish Thank you!

I created this character while in the shower and felt the need to share him. He is based on the russian olympic bear.
Tbh it looks a bit crappy because i just wanted to sketch him to get an idea of what he'd look like, but i ended up making a somewhat finished piece because... I don't know.

@Silhouette I am a bit embarrassed about that to be honest, but school doesn't leave any time for anything else, so i am not too surprised that i hadn't heard her name.

@Renz-Jozer-Serrano ok?

@Lisa_ I dont really have time to read or watch the news, student life is busy /':)

@Div Shortly said, up to high school the materials are free. They're testing to make materials free for high school, too! It takes a lot to be a teacher, so many teachers are amazing here. No student gets left behind, help is easy to find.

@DaNii I have absolutely no idea where you got that idea but thats not true

@idek2019 For one, if it's winter you HAVE to visit Rovaniemi, Lapland. It has a christmas town, which contains a little fun park, restaurant, ice museum and a lot of other activities. I've visited it, and i say it was a blast.
Secondly, i recommend being a nature tourist instead of your typical city-roaming one. Finland has a lot more to offer naturewise and culture-wise than anything else.
Also, a bit away from your question, but anyone who visits Finland has to have a Karelian pie. They just have to, ok. They're delicious.

@Scottish Which one do you hate the most?

@Scottish Im not sure what you are talking about, are you talking about the word sisu or the phrase "tulta munille" burn the balls?

And sure, Santa is my neighbor! I'll tell him right away

@sarah_the_magpie I go to the sauna when we go to our cottage, nearly every weekend. It is pretty relaxing.
And no, we don't appreciate this thing called fun

@Silhouette Not very political, haven't heard of her yet.

For me and my s.o the answer is easy,

the damned songs

@Eye If you are curious i can answer this once i get the chance to read more about it

What is the climate like there? Is it warm or cold? What are the seasons like?

@Eye Doesn't exactly work like that, but i am too uneducated to explain how it does work.

@Eye Statistically, yes. We have plenty of reasons to be happy, like safety, stability, good healthcare and education.
Of course, a lot of Finns do suffer from the winter blues, and depression is very prevalent here. But overall, yes, we are happy.

@ash4u We do have all 4 seasons, including summer. Summer isn't too pleasant here though. It's often rainy and cold. There are the good days when it's sunny and warm, but those are outshadowed by the cold, windy days. Thats where the stereotype of Finland having no summer comes from.

I know that Finland isn't really a very popular nation, but if you have anything you're curious about even if you can get the answer on google you can ask it here. No matter if it's about the language, geography, nature, stereotypes, whatever. I should be able to answer.
