Culture Shock! Finland: A Guide to Customs and Etiquette

Rating:
Summary: Must reading for the visiting Finland
Review: I went to Finland in the 80s and after reading this, well, I wish it was around then. I am of a Finnish/Norweigan background but nothing prepares you for the wonderful experience of visiting the country. However, it is a shock, that's for sure. I plan on taking my husband there and he's got to read it before we visit.

Summary: A must have for anyone going to Finland!!!!
Review: I'm leaving in August to be an exchange student to Finland and this book told me everything the Lonely planet guides were afraid too! This book was divided into nicely planned sections with a wonderful section dedicated to doing bussiness in the country. No book about Finland would be complete without the sauna chapter- and this book spares nothing. It has been by far the best preparation book I've read. The only downfall is that it is written by a Brittish woman- but she makes both Bristtish and American comparisons whenever possible.

Review: I, unfortunately, found the book after our recent trip. I had to laugh at so many of the customs and especially the traits, as I am of Finnish decent. It was light hearted, and I found it to be right on the mark, especially in helping me find out why I am the way I am. Have passed the book around and everyone agrees that it's a winner!
