FI-1439293

This card came to us from Suomi, Finland.  Tuija says “People in Finland are friendly buy shy, we don’t usually like to speak foreign languages much.  But I think it’s mainly due to our teachers, we were supposed to be perfect, nothing else wouldn’t do.  So those who are not perfect (or doesn’t care) don’t speak, even if they could.  Finland is a good place to live, it’s quite safe and peaceful country.  In the village I live there are only 1900 people – almost everyone knows each other.”
