Well it works great. Made me wonder a bit how the Finns would handle vore. I mean they are the most reserved and sensitive of us. Meaning it's a bit hard to joke with them because they don't take friendly jabs well. we play a lot on stereotypes here and have a bit of a rough verbal thing going on like siblings I suppose.
Like for once my step-dad got away from a speeding ticket in Norway because the officer told him that being Swedish was punishment enough. (800 USD fine in the late 80-ies).
But if you play rough with Finns like that they get genuinly sad and make themselves scarse. So it's pretty weird that if you get invited they want to show you thir pride and joy, their sauna, which does mean getting naked, because Finns are stark naked in the sauna. one of my best friends found that out when he met his current girlfrind, first time meating the parents...didn't take long before they were all in the sauna.
Apparently the breath of the sauna is very important (the way the steam flows and heats up the sauna)and something more or less every finn in proud of with regards to their own sauna. (I found on my first vacation there) In that regard they are much like a Gurglemeister in that you're readily invited to try their sauna, it's just the best. Doesn't seem to matter that you just met that same day.

Seems like a very Scandinavian response. No judging anyone and just carry on. Love the humour.

Thanks! Don't remember why I decided to make them Danish, but I had fun with trying to find the right details.
