Happy Independence Day, Finland! 🇫🇮 

Here are a few reasons why we look at you in awe thisisfinlandofficial 👇

☺️ Studies say you’re happier than us. Got any tips for us?

😅 You probably last longer than us in the sauna. But our Swedish word for it is unique: bastu.

☕ You drink more coffee than us. We didn't think it possible, but numbers don't lie.

🙋‍♀️ Finland gave women the right to vote way before Sweden. 

💬 You speak Swedish better than we speak Finnish.

🏒 Ice hockey – what can we say? We hope you're warming up for the Ice Hockey World Championship next year...

Grattis! Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää! 🎉
