Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Iceland; the Nordic countries.
What do you know about them? Do you like them? Why/why not?

I've always have a good impression of those nordic country. Small but wealthy, not always involved in some wars like the bigger countries do. The people live in peace, i bet the scenery is good too. However I've always thought that Finnish have a great interest for boozes!! lol

I have two e-friend from Finland, and they are both drinkers.
and i forgot to mention that in my mind, nordic people are kind of introverted and quiet most time. is it true?

It is true. Most of the Nordic people are rather quiet and shy , but when you get to know them better you'll find out that they are very friendly and sociable people.
When I travelled in Norway last summer I was suprised how warm and kind everyone were! People there seemed to be always smiling. I think people here in Finland are more melancholic than in Norway for example.

maybe that's the reason why J.R.R Tokien based elves on the finnish people
Slender, melancholic, music loving elves
