If Finland is like the rest of Scandinava (and I kinda guess it is), you really should not tell them you watch anime. Its really easy to be mistaken for an pervert if you look at anime. Or just really childish... I hate that about Norway :/
I generally dont speak of it. But I am not ashamed to be an otaku, so I never hide my anime backgrounds on my phone or pc.
And I have lived in the countryside for 20 years now, a very few people watch anime here. I hate it when people comes to me and just; "Hey, do you watch that hentai-anime-cartoon stuff from china?" Then I camly try to explain the difference between anime and hentai, and that its kinda a big difference between China and Japan (Not allways easy with inbreed hillbilly motherf***as that doesent even know China from Japan).
So stoked im movin nearer a big city, and just cross my fingers I will find friends with mutual interests. AND I fucking hope Il find an apartment, so I can move out of the caravan...
