Сообщение от Илона К.

Ровно год назад в продажу поступила юморная англоязычная книжка американца, прожившего 10лет в Эспоо, Поля Шварцманна под названием "How to Marry A Finnish Girl"-или "Все что вы хотели узнать о Финляндии,но о чем ни один финн вам не расскажет". Интересное издание особенно для ваших зарубежных коллег.

О знакомствах он пишет:
"Dating in Finland is a bit of an anomaly. People usually just get drunk at parties, hook up, spend three days in bed together, then move in weeks later."

О финках:
"Finnish women are the most amazing women in the world. That’s not a matter of opinion – that’s a fact. They’re beautiful and intelligent and determined and devoted and modern and feminine and masculine and down-to-earth and humourous and most importantly… they love foreign men."

О финских мужчинах:
"How to identify a Finn on holiday. Look for the couple drinking beer. In Helsinki-Vantaa airport. At 6am. They’ll have a look on their face that looks like they’re waiting for the plane to Auschwitz."

О финской семейной жизни:
"Family, hockey, your dog, shoveling snow at your townhouse in Espoo, your prized Toyota Avensis station wagon with the big rims, and putting together IKEA furniture."

О финской погоде:
"Weather: Sometimes it seems this is the only reason to hate Finland, hence the #1 spot. Six months of solid cold weather and snow. Finns will keep telling you, ”But you see…Finnish summers are so GREAT!” You know where else summer is great? EVERYWHERE. It’s summer."
