    What’s Norway like compared to Finland? I’ve been to Finland twice and the country is lovely but the people are a bit too private for me. Like, so private I remember a few times people didn’t even say thank you when I do something like move out of their way or hold a door open. I know it’s just culture and not people being rude but I could never get used to it.

      Doesn’t sound similar, people here are free with simple pleasantries. I’ve never been to Finland myself, so I can’t really comment on the differences, maybe somebody else can step up.

      The only part of Finland I’ve been to is kilpisjärvi, which exists entirely for Norwegians to go and drive snowmobiles and drink. So I really can’t say. Norway is essentially pretty but boring. Plenty to do if all you want to do is hike, ski and drink.
