I have always associated Finns with the outdoors, music and design. I knew Finns who loved camping, no matter what time of year. I know that in Finland, people have summer cottages they love to go to on weekends. Finland has some very famous choirs and conductors, and, of course, Finlandia records. I have Swedish friends and family who think Finns drink too much, but that opinion is not shared by Canadians. There is a great short story by Canadian author Jack Hodgins in which the main character, an adolescent male, wants to be a Finn.
