Sisu 6. Summer Cottages 7. Skiing 8. Snow 9. Modernist architecture 10. Forest 11. Sibelius 12. Death metal 13. Tango (not so much any more) 14. And if you really want to get out there, reindeer and Santa But I think the average person hasn't a clue about Finland. These are real responses I've gotten: *What is Finland? *I thought Helsinki was in Russia. *Finland? Finnish death metal rocks! *[Something about Vikings...] :) Don’t forget:
