Mmm... What can I say? What is Finland for me?
I guess the love to this country began 3 years ago and it began with Nightwish, Finnish metal band. I listened and listened and listened... and I still do it nowadays. But also I found lots of other interesting bands for me - mostly metal - Apocalyptica, Sinergy, Stratovarius, Katra, Finntroll, Korpiklaani, Terasbetoni (they have good lyrics for my finnish skills, not slang words at least), and many others. Finland began with music for me.
While exploring the music, I had a problem cause i didnt understand some words - they were in finnish language. Especially Terasbetoni music. So I thought it over and made up my mind to get to study a completely new language for me - a finnish one. And I enjoy it doing nowadays. Only after 7 months of doing it (I still study it and go on studying) I realized that I can speak finnish. That was fantastic. I remember those times when I just began it, that was so difficult. Now everything seems easier.
Yep, to say more over -finnish people are nice, they are friendly - though I gonna explore them better this summer, I think they wont shift my expectations down
Salmiakki.. and Lakritsi.. I used not to it that before, i hated the taste of that but now... it has changed... i am a lakritsi-lover too ^^
Finnish water ^^ is clear and pure.
I am amazed how people take care of their nature.. according to us, for example.
i guess there are more reasons why i like finland and what finland is for me.
but those are ones I like the most ^^.
