Don’t do THIS in Finland 🇫🇮

I remember meeting a man from Finland. He was in a bar and he was half drunk. He was touchy feely with the bartender and anyone who was near him. A local man told him to stop what he was doing. The Finnish man continued to carry on until he was punched in the face by the local, who chased him around the bar and into the main lobby (the bar was located in a condo resort). I was working security when the front desk man told me what happened. I went over to help the Finnish man calm down. He was visibly shaken and he asked me to apologize to all the patrons in the bar (I did this 4 times for him). He explained that he was from Finland and he didn’t understand that what he was doing was wrong. He told me that he was a professional wrestler and a writer for a wrestling magazine covering a Wrestling Event in Miami for the wrestling magazine in Finland. He looked strong and fast but he was frightened by the local. When he was calm, I escorted him to his condo.

I remember understanding that because he was a stranger to our country, he was half drunk and “overly friendly” and to pull away from him would be viewed as standoffish and rude. I may be wrong, since he was the first Finnish person I ever met.
