Finnish Mythology?

50% GOOD (4 votes)

I  would like to know more about Finnish myths, culture and language. I am in the process of writing a book that came to me in a dream (which happens to be about Finns). There is only so much the internet and books can tell you. It would be nice to know from a native what Finland is truly like.

From a foreigner living here I can say they (the Finns) are a friendly lot, quite shy (very shy) and reserved (unless they are drunk) and most are very honest people. They don't mind speaking their own language even though u stand there in front of them dumbfounded (which is quite rude but they don't know that yet so consider it primitive). I think they don't want any foreigners in their country (which is what most of us feel here) maybe because they are too reserved and need a lot of space in between the next person they are close to. The weather sux so most people huddle inside their homes or crowd in bars most of the time. There,somebody prove me wrong!!!
