Reindeer piss isn't on the list of "stiff" drinks

She has so much to learn

Lapin Kulta is the worst beer in Finland, a huge marketing budget has worked wonders for them

Compared to Buzzwater though, the water they wash the lapin kulta pints in, is "stiff"

Hey, ya'll, I hate to say it, but I actually like Lapin Kulta! And Karhu! And...Finlandia, and most of those other ones!

But you're probably right. I guess I'm just a very desparate, underage little girl.

I confess before I moved here and was visiting a few days at a time, I drank Lapin Kulta happily, but when I moved here and drunk it more, it developed a really unpleasant aftertaste. Now it's the only Finnish beer I avoid at all costs. Koff is next, and is borderline, but it's "stadi" and for some folks that's over-riding anything else! It's drinkable, but not much more than that

Thank You

I love it there....it reminds of the little village I spent summers in when I was a child. Just lovely and all the people I've met there have been absolutly wonderful. I've made many friends already.

My experiance with Finns has been very positive. Perhaps because my finacee is Finn it's easier for me to meet people. I already have some of them coming here for a visit week after next.
