Finland for Thought
             Politics, current events, culture - In Finland & United States

Tervetuloa | Welcome
I'm an American who's been living in Finland for six years (damn!). I started this blog to address some of the political, cultural, and current event issues in Finland and the United States.

...but mostly what you'll find here is: Finnish and American stereotypes, Funny YouTube videos about Finland, rants about our high taxes and low salaries, and [not-so] comedic differences between Finns and Americans. Enjoy! :-)

  4. “man-made global warming” hahahaha

    I usually get my finnish news from yle english language page and as soon as I saw this I was wondering how they would spin it. My first thought was immigrants and my second though was capitalist…. naturally my thrid was capitalist immigrants.

    man made global warming though is sooooo much better.

  7. Come on Phil. We had a real Forest Fire in Calif, when I had my Cancer treatment. You could see the fire at night, all night as a glow on the hills.

    That is not a fire.
