New Zealand would be even more so I immagine. I don't know about the people there, but I do know that they filmed the entire movie there. Sounds like a really beautifull country to me.

What is this I see? You say there are no elves and dwarfs?
NOOOO!!! You're lying! They DO exist!
(it should be dwarves btw, but since A.R.R.R. Roberts wrote in "The Soddit", that they themselves prefer "dwarfs", i'll use that
)

Well, in my opinion people in Finland generally are cold and rejecting, not just towards foreigners but towards each other as well. It seems to me that everyone's just so stuck in their little groups and it's really hard to force your way into any of those groups...or maybe it's just me. If you feel detached from everyone in the US I don't think moving to Finland would change anything...Personally I found it a lot easier to fit in in the US..

The thing is, I'm a guitarist, and I hope to get in a signed band at some point... I know you cant ever count on that happening, but I'm gonna try like hell, so I figured it'd be good to be in an area with a big metal scene... much like in the renaisance, alot of artists moved to milan or florence, I think being in Helsinki would give me a good perspective of metal today and give me a better chance of meeting other musicians.
Finnish is a Finno-ugric language. Very different from Germanic languages.
Like Heavenscent said, I too have heard/read that Swedish and Norwegian are influenced by Danish, though I can't confirm it. Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic, and Faroese (collectively known as the North Germanic languages) are all descendants of Old Norse.
Anyway, I'd like to visit Finland (among many other countries) sometime, don't think I'd live there though.

Yeah it is pretty widespread. Concerning European nations, it is spoken as far east as Romania, and as far west as Iceland (supposedly widely spoken there... I hear Icelanders even have a hard time with their own language). Boredom and the CIA World Factbook is good for some things, I suppose

Honestly, I had little or no trouble making friends here, personally. In the metal groups anyway. Every time i went to a bar, after a few drinks we'd all be less shy(I'm a bit shy myself at first), and I ended up with a large group of aquaintances and friends here, some of them very close friends at this point.
On average, colder than other countries, but i had no problem.
Then again, I'm a female heavily into metal. Only half joking....I think that has something to do with it.

And I don't drink, so I guess that has something to do with me not fitting in in Finland or in the metal groups or anywhere basically..except for the church groups which I'm not interested in
So yeah as long as you're into drinking I guess you'll be fine in Finland.actually.... I know more english then I know Icelandic...and I keep fucking up while speaking it too.. but then again.... I lived in norway for about 4 years so I guess tahts why..mevyhetal said:Yeah it is pretty widespread.
