Many a camera-wielding tourist in Southern Finland has been disappointed to learn that reindeer do not roam around every corner in Finland, and in order to see them, you'd have to travel to Lapland.
So they settle for something even rarer, and start snapping pictures of smiling and/or sober Finns.

@DarkMage7280
Wait, are you implying that there are Finns which are sober AND happy? I find that preposterous.

@Narf Yeah, it was a long shot...

@Narf Im sober at the moment

We also have no polar bears except in zoos.

I guess nature and animals are exotic when you live in one of the most urbanised nations on Earth. If nature is what they like they are welcome to visit us in northern Sweden, we have little else than nature.

Very, very true. Like, seriously. I live in an area of countryside just outside of Manchester, and the number of Japanese tourists who stop to take pictures of trees, animals or just anything. No joke, I literally saw a tourist take a picture of a fence post. I've even had a few pictures with Japanese tourists before.

@SpikeTheNerd they probably wanted to share that post on Facebook

@SpikeTheNerd "Typical creature from England : an English"

EDIT - If you are Japanese, and do hold a picture of us, please share it

@SpikeTheNerd Facebook Post: I have found an animal never found in Japan, A fencepost.

I thought India will be in the picture. Cows are sacred animals in India.

@MikoGaid
Yes, and I think, even more specifically, those following the Hindu religion (who may spread beyond India). This was my first thought too when I read the title of this comic, but I think Human just means it euphemistically.

@MikoGaid Yeah well if you could step between some saxon villages you will be able to find a cult around this farm-animal too. Quite more relating to the actual message (not hidden the headline btw): The east-asian form of appreciating our paegans and little screws is quite beautiful you know (when it comes to nippon there is axo the fact of kawaii - and cows >can< be appering quite harmless and therefor in this universe: sweet and adorable therefore interesting). Besides there is constant material of the "new" national-hinduism party enabling ridiculious form of the belive in the sacred cow. Dont have it by the way. To make the point there is the money for an ambulance to help the little horned f*****, in a country full of this mysterious "sick and poor". There is apperantly the need for milizias saving wild cows from the butcher-tourisem and leather-industrie out of the muslim-neighbour states and the north. The "acchivment" of being able to support a house cow is in some caste an immportant stepingstone or "Stolperstein" to be more precise and therefore part of this particalry disturbing structure of indian society. No tell me my bohemian friend, where is the point to start laughing about this?

Japanese cows are very uniform in colouration.
Be honest now; if you saw a squirrel or a pigeon or some other very common local animal of yours with a sharply white%black mottled pattern like a Holstein cow, you'd probably take a picture of it too.

It's amazing to me there are places where there aren't cows. I've spent practically my entire life surrounded by cow fields. You can't go on a road trip in Kentucky without seeing at least a dozen fields of cows and the occasional horse or goat.
They are pretty cute though, in a weird way.

People like me rarely see a live cow, sheep or chicken so when ever I see a live cow when overseas I get excited especially near my university campus.
I am Singaporean by the way and currently studying overseas.

@Ridz0805 -- That's really cool! Cows ARE pretty neat. I've been to Singapore, I was enamored just by all the colorful birds in the city.

@longtail4711 Singapore is a hub for migratory birds.

The tourists come to Rovaniemi to take pics of reindeer while people who live in lapland are like "only thing reindeer is good for is food and car crashes" I actually got slapped by a random american girl when she was fangirling over a few reindeer that only good thing about reindeer is the meat. It was worth it tho. I shall remember her expession for forever.

We have Americans doing that up in Scotland too, except I guess our coos are cooler. They're ginger. And more grumpy. And horny. Hey, just like-

@ScottishHetalianCat r.i.p. grammar

@DarkShadow988 It's for dramatic emphasis

@ScottishHetalianCat Definitely cooler. My mom lived on the Isle of Skye for about 4-5 years, and there was a field with Highland cows next to her house. Cute as they come, but I wouldn't want to tangle with the horns...

I have nothing nonracist in my mind about this

@Finlandball you shure about that Finland?
