Moving to Finland From the USA

[Redneck]

Nr 1 take a way meal when you are on the road     Muikkukukko (bread filled with smoked fish)
All rednecks, floursleeves, strawhats and hillbillies love that kind of food .
Welcome to Finland    Nice that you take your bike with.

That smoked fish looks like brains, does it not? Too many zombie-movies...

When the smoked fish is temporary out of stock .. 

[Millsy]

That does look kinda like Brains a little.. Delicious haha! I'm a zombie movie fan for sure! We don't get alot of fresh fish where I'm From in Iowa, But I'm looking forward to eating lots of Fresh Salmon!

[Smokie]

Hah, I just bought a geg of beer and whole salmon! One question about your move from US to here - why?

[Millsy]

Why not? Need a change and Life sounds great in Finland. The USA is headed downward with all the Political pandering to Big buisness greed. The presidential race this year is like a choice between a shit sammich and bid stupid douche!

I will miss my concealed weapons permit and learning finnish will be hard, but I believe a better life will be had for My wife and I and our future children.

If you are used to dark, cold, wet and snow for 6 months of the year that helps a lot. I am still not used to those

Luckily Finland's summer usually has little snowfall..

[Hemuli]

And I bet Iowans see plenty more snow than us here.

[Smokie]

Well good luck to you sir, I hope you dont learn Finnish too fast and catch up with local yellow papers. Sorry to spoil but really, it's just same shit on different packet. Those eastern mosquitos will kill you, but I bet you have seen your share of those on Iowa. I have 1 imaginary (=internet) friend from Iowa and he is also insane. Hey ho!

Savustettu kala ei kyllä kuulu kalakukkoon millään tavalla, niin kuin sivuhuomautuksena

[Antti S.]

Welcome,
I hope you dont get disappointed in here.The economy is going to sewer too,like in states.Some of the laws are pretty tight,especially bike building related.
Our last presidential election was a freakshow too.Our version of your republican vs. an enviromentalist gayman.
Enjoy your life in kalakukkolandia!

As you can see, Finns are also quite pessimistic. But don't worry, you'll get used to it. After a few months of sleet and darkness, you find yourself thinking as a native Finn 

Welcome!
