FINLAND, YOU ARE A SEXY BITCH
Your nature and lakes are quite lux,
Every visit is worth all my bucks.
The summers are beaux,
The winters have snow!
--but then walking the dog kinda sucks.
This tumblr honors Finland, the best country in the world (according to Newsweek 2010)! There are few things that (stereotypically) summarize Finland/Finns,
- Saunas
- A love for summer
- Nature
- Fucking cold winters (-30 C)
- Drinking
-Santa Claus
- Not being very talkative
SUBMISSIONS ARE ENCOURAGED. Share all things Finnish with us, you greedy sod! PERKELE.
Here is just one of the many parodies of the “kahden kilon siika” video I posted earlier a long with a VERY rough (and probably somewhat incorrect) translation from what little Finnish I understand:
*something I don’t understand* comes
“The fish! It’s here! Fish! Fish!”
“Come see(?)”
“take the fish out”
“OOOHH GOD. TWO KILO WHITEFISH.” (x2)
*something I don’t understand but maybe “god what a something something something”
I don’t know if I’ve posted this up, but for you non-Finn followers this video is a treat. Just two dudes ice fishing and one dude totally freaks out.
Spoiler alert: “kahden kilon siika” means “two kilo whitefish”

Is this manipulated? Because if not then these are some incredible colors.
