But I would certainly buy a shirt and a hat if there was a big WTF on it.

Boise date should be announced soon.

Here is the Boise date: Today it is the 11th of January in Boise, tomorrow it will be the 12th...

Geez Larry, it's a joke!

Although since I have been eating it since I was a little kid it doesn't bother me. There's a great NY style deli in CT that makes really good herring in sour cream.

I don't eat anything that can't live on dry land.

The name of Jimmy Buffett's 2011 Tour: WELCOME TO FIN LAND

So, basically, this is the WTF tour?

Makes me think of a college not far from us - Finlandia University. When they're at a sporting event and start chanting their school initials at the opposing team, it gets kind of interesting!

Is herring kinda like sardines? None for me, thank you.

No I HATE sardines! It's a white fish that they cut into chunks and marinate with onions and sour cream. It's totally an acquired taste but since I've been eating it my whole life I like it, especially when its well prepared and fresh.

Winterskool is now in session...

Punctuality is very important to the Finns. Never be late for meetings, as this is considered very impolite in Finland. Be on time!
Do not raise your voice when you talk to Finns, especially not in public! Speaking in a loud voice is considered rude, as Finns themselves are quiet.
Remember to look Finns in the eye. Looking down or to the side is a sign of dishonesty in Finland.
If you want to visit a Finnish friend, always let them know in advance. Privacy is very important to the Finns.
When you visit a Finnish home, always take off your shoes or bring a pair of shoes you can wear indoors with you.
Always remember to say ‘Thank you’ after a meal if you have been invited for a dinner.
It is usual for all Finns to pay for their own meal in a restaurant. You can still politely suggest that you would be happy to pay for your companion’s meal.
Finnish people drink coffee all the time and everywhere, for instance meetings always begin with a cup of coffee.
Do not be surprised if no one comes to sit next to you on the bus. Remember privacy!
Dishonesty is the worst sin of all to the Finns.
Going to a sauna in Finland, even without clothes, has nothing to do with sex – a sauna is a sacred place for the Finns.
Remember to respect the nature. Nature is very close to a Finn’s heart.
Finnish society is very organised. Also, remember to queue!
Silence at night is required in tower blocks normally after 10pm. The communal hallways usually have information on the times of silence. Do not disturb!


Study hard!!

Having been raised with Finnish grandparents I can only tell you that many of those things are true, even about myself. Although God knows I"m anything but quiet! My grandmother started giving me coffee when I was a kid with lots of milk and sugar and there was ALWAYS coffee going in her house!
I read somewhere that they don't even have laws regarding graft or embezzlement in Finland because the culture is such that they don't need them.
There are days I consider learning the language so I can retire there - it's a beautiful place and they seem to stay out of the rest of the worlds business. (End of semi political opinion)
Except it's cold and dark a lot of the year and I don't see Jimmy ever visiting!
