What I miss about Finland

I found a paper of with some things written about Finnish people that I miss.

1) The way Finns can talk by breathing in and talking at the same time. This rare phenomenon is only possible by Finnish blood. If you don't believe me try it. The older Grandmas are excellent at this.

2)Sauna and Makara. Sauna is such a culture in Finland that they get mad if you interfere with their Sauna night they get really upset. There are few things in life that are better than going in the Sauna and jumping into a cool Finnish lake. After doing this a few times your body is totally relaxed and cleaned.

3) Quiet Buses. Finns are pretty quiet on their own and when they are in public transportation. They don't communicate with others unless they have to. BUT on the bus if they do get a cell phone call they are pretty loud and not afraid to speak about every detail that happened Friday night while they were on a date.

4) Quietness - You have never known the peace nature has to offer you until you go to Finland. Even in the cities the Finnish people have a great respect for the peace of the beautiful forest that surrounds them.
