Finnishness: My View

It's difficult to reflect on Finland and the identity of finnishness without mentioning its beatiful conifer filled forests and all the hundreds of thousands of lakes. Also the fact that Finland has semesters that wide in the amount of daylight from all day to all night sunshine to limited 5 hours a day daylight, it visibly has an impact both in the nature aswell as the people and their the way of interacting with eachother. In this blog text I will more reflect on the social side of what it means and feels to be a Finn for myself as a multicultural person born in Finland, more than thinking about the thought of what it should mean to eat rye bread, salmiakki, mämmi or going fully naked to a sauna with random people (which all are super nice things about finnish culture).
