Our stereotype of the Swede is an annoyingly cheerful and vain neighbor, haha… I suppose it stems from the fact that Finland had to fight off Russia in WWII while Sweden was never under threat, so they’ve enjoyed a time of peace and progress longer than us which has turned them “soft”

But even if we get dead-fucking-serious about beating Sweden in every sport and contest imaginable, most Finns actually think warmly of Sweden and Swedes. We have so many things in common after all. Personally I’d love to revisit Stockholm sometime soon and go to some local anime conventions as well :)
