(一) Do you ever hear of Finland? Their way of living is very close to those from Europe, but Finns don’t say hi or look at people in theeye. They are pretty quiet on the MRT, the bus or the train. However, you don’t need to worry about asking for help in public places if youhave a map in hand. Finns seldom talk with strangers except they have to. Before speaking, Finns have things in mind and think carefully.Even when the words fall out, they don’t often speak in a hurry. There are often breaks during the talk because they see it as an art oftalking. When Finns know you well, they will talk about everything. Sharing hobbies or ideas in Finland is common like in other countries.Finland is one of the world’s leaders in the reading of books and newspapers and the use of libraries, so most people know the latest worldnews. To people’s surprise, Tango is popular in Finland: Every year people choose a Tango King and Queen. Also, Finland has the topbands in the world. That is why Lemmy Kilmister is welcomed here. Finns would tell you: Metal fans are the happiest people. *Finn 芬蘭人； except 除了…以外； in mind 放在心上； carefully 小心地； fall out 掉出來； hobby 嗜好； common 普通； latest 最新的；Tango 探戈； metal 金屬； happiest 最開心的； better than 比較好； louder than 比較大聲； be able to 能夠； themselves 他們自己
