On: How the Finnish survive without small talk (2018)

[miika]

As a Finn I think that when people are not sure what to say.. but they feel like they should say something, then small talk is great.

Maybe we Finns think too much and say something only when we’re sure what to say, so it might be very compact, well thought package of information. Something like: “Sure. Good Bye.”

We also seem to share some bad drunken behavior and dark humor with English lads.

I’ve often thought that too.

There’s a reason the Brits love Kimi Raikkonen!
