Stereotypes about Finns and Finland

My name is Ernesta Porutyte, I am a lithuanian student at Vytautas Magnus university in the 3rd year of Baltic Region Cultures studies. I am writing my thesis about stereotypes about Finns and Finland of exchange students, who came to study in Finland. Also, I want to analyse what stereotypes Finns have heard about themselves and their country. Please answer questions as comprehensively as you can, your answers are very important for my thesis. Thank you for your help!
