You know you have been in Finland too long when...

1. You rummage through your plastic bag collection to see which ones you should keep to take to the store and which can be sacrificed to garbage.

2. When a stranger on the street smiles at you:
a. you assume he is drunk
b. he is insane
c. he's an American

99% posibilidad de que sea la opción a.

3. You don't think twice about putting the wet dishes away in the cupboard to dry.

Pues no porque eso ya lo hacemos en España...

4. A friend asks about your holiday plans and you answer: "Oh, I'm going to Europe!" meaning any other Western European country outside Scandinavia.

Ah... pero que Finlandia está en Europa??

5. You see a student taking a front row seat and wonder "Who does he think he is!!??"

6. Silence is fun.
Ehm...

7. The reason you take the ferry to Stockholm or Tallinn is:
a. duty free vodka
b. duty free beer
c. to party heartily...no need to get off the boat in Stockholm or Tallinn, just turn around and do it again on the way back to Finland.

8. Your coffee consumption exceeds 6 cups a day and coffee is too weak if there is less than two spoonfuls per person.

9. You pass a grocery store and think: "Wow, it is open, I had better go in and buy something!"

Tiendas abiertas? dónde?

10. Your native language has seriously deteriorated, now you begin to "eat medicine", "open the television", "close the lights off", and tell someone: "you needn't to!". Expressions like "Don't panic" creep into your everyday language.

O simplemente no sabes la palabra en español

11. You associate pea soup with Thursday.

Y también asocio sopa de guisantes con tarta "rara" de queso con mermelada de frambuesa :)

12. Your idea of unforgivable behaviour now includes walking across the street when the light is red and there is no walk symbol, even though there are no cars in sight.

Ni aunque me esté congelando.

13. Your notion of street life is reduced to the few teenagers hanging out in front of the railway station on Friday nights.

No será haciendo botellón...

14. Sundays no longer seem dull with all the stores closed, and begin to feel restful instead.

15. You finally stop asking your class "Are there any questions?"

16. Your old habit of being "Fashionably late" is no longer acceptable. You are always on time.

Sé de gente que después de un año en Finlandia siguen llegando tarde... (no, no soy yo)

17. Hugging is reserved for sexual foreplay.

Ehm... sin comentarios jeje

18. You refuse to wear a hat, even in -30°C weather.

Ni de coña... gorro forever :P

19. You hear loud-talking passengers on the train. You immediately assume:
a. they are drunk
b. they are Swedish-speaking
c. they are Americans
d. all of the above.

De nuevo... 99% de que sea la opción a.

20. You no longer look at sports pants as casual wear, but recognize them as almost formal wear.

Antes muerta que sencilla

21. You have undergone a transformation:
a. you accept mustamakkara (Black blood sausage) as food
b. you accept alcohol as food
c. you accept.

100% b

22. You understand why the Finnish language has no future tense.

Supongo que para que su idioma sea más original, si cabe...

23. You enjoy salmiakki.

Sólo hay una manera de la que me gusta el Salmiakki. Y no, no es en chupito. Y no, no lo pienso decir ;)

24. You've become lactose intolerant.

Nah, pero si tengo a alergia a algo de Finlandia y aún no sé el qué...

25. You accept that 80°C in a sauna is chilly, but 20°C outside is freaking hot.

Es que es cierto. 80 en sauna es fresquillo y 20 en la calle es un horno.

26. You can't understand why people live anywhere but in Finland.

Editado porque con esto de la tesis me acojona plagiar cualquier cosa... asi que sólo para decir que esto lo encontré en internet... está en mil sitios y supongo que nadie sabe quién lo empezaría a escribir. Ale, ya no es plagio.
