Ah my uncle lives in Tampere, have you heard of a hockey club there? It has the lynx as it's symbol or something, my uncle runs it if I remember correctly, pretty proud of that even though I barely keep in touch with my finnish half family(it's a pretty dispersed family, last name is katainen).

Half Finnish guy here.

Yeah exactly! My uncle even gave me a sweater of it back in the day. Finland is amazing, I used to travel by boat there since my dad lives in Sweden and he was born there, but all my lineage resides in Finland. Finnish is such a strange language, unlike other languages that have connections from Germanic in english and nordic languages and Latin with Portuguese Spanish French and italian I can't recognize ANYTHING in Finnish. I love the pronounciation of it tho, it's so... I don't know how to explain, just like in swedish it has a tune to it.
