I can understand if you are unhappy about the vote. But if you are surprise, clearly you have a problem.

Today, as part of The Hieno! “What is Finnish-ness” series celebrating Suomi 100 in 2017, we at Hungry in Helsinki are proud to be featured to express our love of Finland & all things Finnish

To create a blog called “Hungry In Helsinki”, one must be simultaneously hungry and in love! This post is an extract from the interview with The Hieno.[Read the whole story here!] In anticipation for Finland’s 100 years of independence next year, we were asked to tell about our dreams and visions for Finland’s future. This is our answer: 

“Dear Finland, for your 100^th birthday we would like to wish you  joy, happiness, prosperity. diversity and creativity! Do not fear; in country years, 100 is the age of reason, yet it is still young and energetic. You have your life ahead of you and we are proud of how elegantly you have grown from your rural childhood into a lovely urban young lady. Do not forget your roots and were you are coming from, but with it, remember to respect and value diversity and the many cultures that will inevitably cross your path as you gain wisdom and years. Each new person you let in will bring you a new spice or flavor to make you richer and even more beautiful. From the chili of oriental food, the rosemary of southern cuisine, the gingery scent of Asian world and more, you will be amazed at the many wonders that lie within if you allow them to surprise you. You are a unique and beautiful place, with a serenity and certainty that takes our breath away and we are proud to call you our adoptive country.”
