But give us some minttu and salmiakki and we can get up to some weird and wonderful things, like Folk Racing and Bear hunting.
Oh god, I love folk racing. That's the most fun I've had on 4 wheels ever. Nothing like doing a full-blown powerslide in a Saab and smacking doors with a Lada at about 20mph while jockeying for position. Great fun!

I do not know about the promiscuity so much, but the attitude towards sex in general was more blazie, than anything else. I never met more unmarried parents than i have in sweden.

My uncle nearly destroyed his VW Beetle in a folk race once. He was trying to overtake on a corner and the vehicle next to my uncle sent his car flipping and eventually landing on the snow. Thank God I was only spectating!

I can imagine that. Us Finns, we're a tough bunch to please. The race itself is more entertaining to us.Oh and the guy whos house we stayed at for our 3 days in finland, he's the equivelent of a Warrant Officer in the Finnish Defense Force. Bjorn is a member of the Coast Guard, and by that point I had been discharged from the USCG but still had my ID with me. Needless to say, we got on-base and had a ball with some Finnish weapons. and practice dummies.

Well the Fins are a special brand of psychotic lol.
And I met a couple of unmarried couples with kids while I was visiting Sweden (Finland was part of that 2 weeks). Here's the thing, they may have been unmarried but they certainly looked happier together as a family than some married couples Ive seen either. My theory is while some gender norms have been relaxed the basics of love, caring, and family haven't been compromised in any way, they mean the same things at the core of it all.
