Re: Things that annoy you about your country's portrayal in media

In university we mark our names in a little paper that goes around the class, or no one asks at all. Back in upper secondary school my school was so small that everybody knew each other by first name in like a week. Before that the teacher's just asked if people were present by first name, and if there were two people with same name they used the first letter of surname to differentiate. Or cute nicknames.
In official papers and such where full name is expected to be given we have to underline the name we're called, so there's no confusion.

Ah then you'll have trouble with Helsinki. The city center is really small, but there's a lot more stuff surrounding it. I grew up there. Moved to a smaller city in Middle-Finland for university.

Our public pools have like one big shower room, and no private changing rooms, because it's not like there's anything you haven't seen before. And saunas!

I don't think they heated it all the way up. It was the most hygienic room people had in the countryside, so giving birth in the sauna was the most safe for both mom and kid in terms of like infections.
I prefer cold myself. My optimal temperature is like between -5 and -15. I can't stand the summer heat at all.

Hm that is odd... But it works for you guys so keep being special Finland!

Why would I have trouble with Helsinki?

I think I would feel awkward doing that, but I really do envy you guys for it!

Oh that makes sense! I prefer the spring, but winter is no issue I still walk around in a dress and stuff, as long as it isn't more than -25Cish it isn't too cold to do it, even then I might still have a skirt on because I never look at the temperature before going outside, and I never learn.

You bet we will.

Oopsies, I forgot a no there, pfff. You'd have NO trouble with Helsinki, the place is a piece of cake. :D

Yeah I can see that.

The only thermometer in my apartment is in my roommate's room, and I always leave before he does, so yeah. I might look outside and guess, but most often I just go out and hope I put enough clothes on. Usually I put on a bit too much, because I want to take no risks, walking 2,5 km to school in too few clothes is a pain.
