"The Finns revel in hardship. They are at their best when circumstances are at their worst."
What makes the Finns FINNISH: A guide to understanding the Finns that terminates the typical.
‘This is how a guide book should be written. It won’t tell you where to catch a bus in Helsinki, but it will give you a very sharp insight into the mind of the guy who drives it. It tells me things I want to know about the people; things which other guide books avoid mentioning. The first time I read it was to learn about the Finns. The second time was simply to enjoy again the brilliantly funny prose.’ --Review in The Guardian--

This little funny fact book is travelling from Finland to...
Portugal!... :-) Here it is.
I miss Finland SO much, especially now, when we have 31ºC outside!
