RE: Frozen Fog in Color
Oh hello there long lost Finn, I see you have a Finnish surname. Is there anything in particular you'd like to see or hear about Finland and/or Finnish people? :)
A lot of Finns moved to North America in the 1900s in search of a better life, you think they found it? Jesus, I hate the winter near the coast, like in Helsinki, it is so fucking cold even if it's only near sub zero temperatures!
I need to google St. Urho, never heard of that.
The culture and smaller details of its history are some of the harder things for me to pick up, although nature and anything else related to Finland are in my interest.
My grandfather's parents and oldest sibling were in the wave that came to the U.S before WWI, but he was born in the U.S. I dont know how there faired under the great depression, but I would guess they were pretty happy with the life they found, and our latter generations are not doing half bad either. I actually think Finns can do well wherever they are and we measure our own success. Thanks for replying, and best wishes.
Are you familiar with the Finnish Nightmares, it is something that might help you understand Finnish culture in a very real and day to day basis, if you want to :)
