Here's my (probably biased) characterization of Finns:

Con's: shy, insecure, melancholic, self-denial (embarrased to enjoy luxuries), naïve, bad food, bad at selling, violent when drunk, boring unless drunk, patriotic (in an egoistic way), culturally backward, undiplomatic

Pro's: high work-ethic, exceptional practical intelligence, mathematically and geometrically talented, welfare state (solidarity among fellow citizens), best elementary education in the world, law-abiding, straightforward ("yes" means yes), punctual, honest, hygienic
Thanks for that! Very interesting stuff. Is the name Panu Larnos becoming "known" whatsoever? Thanks again!
