live in finland

I still agree with most of the things I wrote earlier about Finland. But I have also realized that among all those negative things there are lots of positive sides in my home country.

I’ve been living abroad now for about two years and I think this is an experience everyones should have. I was told that my perspective might change and I waited it to happen and it did. I respect Finland so much more today, its people, its beautiful language, its music and literature and newspapers.

I suppose I needed to go far to see close.

I was living there for the first 19 years of my life. It’s a good and safe place to live, but also homogenic, xenophobic, small and quiet. People are introvert, depressed and alcoholic. Nothing ever happens there. It’s far away from everything. Winters are long, dark, and cold.

I didn’t enjoy myself there and was happy to get away.
