Finnish from Afar Blog

Finnophile writing about Finland, Finnish and the Finns, despite being fairly unqualified to do so

A couple of weeks ago, I flew from Gdansk (Poland) to Turku (Finland), because that's the glamourous life I have.

As I waited to board, I was witness to a very Finnish situation, which had me sniggering under my breath.

Telefinn: I am not Finnish (I am Franco-English). I don't speak much Finnish (though I do speak several other languages). I don't even live in Finland and I never have (I currently reside in the UK). But I have been given an honoury Finnish name (Olli Miekka) by some Finns I know, so surely that qualifies me to comment on all things Fininish.
