101 Very Finnish Problems: The Foreigner's Guide to…
Hilarious book if you have a sense of humour.
This was an entertaining book, but slightly annoying as well, too much repetition. Yes, finnish weather trolls you, but come on do you have it repeat 5 (or more times)?
I bought this last year (I think) when I was in Finland. I'm not sure if my stars are partly homesickness, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Well, I've enjoyed Very Finnish Problems online for a long time, so maybe this is not so surprising. I like it how Willans manages to still surprise me with the things he picks from Finland to talk about. Things that to me are so normal, but some of them I've realized are maybe not if you come from another country. This having noticed since I live abroad myself.
Since I'm going to Finland for Christmas with my American boyfriend, I think I need to have him read at least some of these... Just to be prepared :)… (mais)

Joel Willans kuvaa suomalaisuutta kieli poskessa, peribrittiläiseen tyyliin. Varsinkin suomalaisten naapurisuhteen ja tilantarpeen kuvaus osuu mielestäni nappiin, vaikka lieneekin suomalaisen tosikkomaista ottaa mitään Willansin lausumia tosissaan. Suomalainen kun ei näes ymmärrä brittiläistä sarkasmia.
