Hi Ms. Jen!

Glad you liked these stories. I think I'm getting to appreciate the Finnish attitude towards things, especially with Winter coming on in September.

Hi Ian,

This made me laugh, both for the truth of it and for a conversation I had recently where I was telling a friend to not underestimate the Finns. The friend was expressing frustration with doing business with some Finnish folk, and I delved deep into history to explain why I thought they were kick ass, even if super quiet about it.

Now you have armed me with more examples beyond the Swedish & Russian historical examples I knew from before. ;o)
