I've read an article in National Geographic about FINLAND, yes it sounds far like "santa claus" and "heavy snow" but I'm not really referring to those. I mean the FINNISH, it's people in Finland are called and yes the Finnish themselves already finished their societal transformation from one of the laggish in Europe to one of the richest. However, I'm not in the mood to talk about material wealth right now. I've read a lot about the so-called "Finnish" and I realized I wanna live there.
What caught my attention is that how the Finnish themselves are described by an American traveler and I realized and oh well probably I have a Finnish attitude. Foreigners said that Finnish people are cold, slow-to-show-emotion, people who don't usually show hospitality(*do not open the windows of their cars when they're asked by lost travelers). But the truth behind such unwelcome spirit in Finland is rooted to the traditions of their people and they're not actually what most foreigners describe them. Finnish people are naturally shy and they put heavy emphasis in inner spirit and people's privacy. I reflect my self the Finnish way, deep inside I'm a welcoming Christian, but most people say that I'm snob, don't show emotion, not approachable, and etc. But as far as I know myself, I'm not and will never be. However, I choose people as what the Bible says we should keep ourselves far from people who will not bring us to goodness.
I'm really good in socializing with people in "indirect" ways such as Facebook and etc. I think I have the talent that attracts people both men and women(more preferable), young and old. I don't know why but I think I'm an invisible person which I think they'll not appreciate me well when they chat to me in person.
