I spotted this at Prisma: the perfect metaphor for Finland
It's attractive, it looks friendly, it's genuinely good, yet for no good reason, it tries to convince you it's not really that great 🙂
You're viewing a single thread.
Are people in Finland super self deprecating? I wouldn't have guessed that, but I've also never been to Finland so I don't have a great point of reference lol
Kind of. I've been here a few years and it's a bit of a national pastime.

"What a great country" - "Yeah it's okay now, but it used to be really poor."
-
"Look it's summer! What a glorious sunny day!" - "Enjoy it while it lasts. Summers last about 2 hours here."
"How are you?"
- "Not that great, but okay I guess"
"You seem to have a great and fair political climate!"
- "Yeah but every government is shit"
"How come Finland is the happiest country in the world?"
- "Because all the sad people kill themselves"
Best regards, a Finn.
”Summer is the best day of the year, and last time it was on a Thursday.”
But seriously though, It’s been very nice and warm for a few weeks now. As long as I can sleep well, I don’t have any complaints.
