The Finnish trait

Remember facebook-girl that SBN hooked up with? Well, as it turns out she's coming to visit in a couple of weeks. I look forward to meet her. However, if she's like most Finnish people she won't say much. Or about as much as she comments on this blog that I know that she reads. I.e. nada. But that's a known trait amongst the Finnish, they don't speak. Period. Picture this: two men sitting next to each other. One of them raises his glass to the other and says "Cheers". 10 minutes the other one responds saying "do you wanna speak or do wanna drink?". Like that. This can be a really interesting weekend... I'm not lying: The Finnish sorrow.
