Have Fun in Suomi
Which city? I'll buy you a beer if you come to Turku
Be careful, crazy Putin will be your next door neighbor 😖
You better pack your Disc golf discs.... :-) it's lit in finland
@@bastet197Russia it´s the neighbor
Whilst Europeans like nice things and work to get them, people 'worth' isn't judged on how much they work, own, jewellery they possess, what car they drive or designer labels they wear, unlike the US
I once spoke to an American teenager and told that most students in the Netherlands didn't own a car but instead use bikes to get around. His respons was: "But how do they impress girls?" I simply could not make him understand that the vast majority of Dutch girls care more about how a guy IS than what he OWNS.
Maybe it is less in the us, but in germany judging on these things is also there.
@@larryhopkins5079 I think it depends on the person.
@@larryhopkins5079 in italy lots of people looks first on how much u own but usually they growned in very low cultured family so they think the richer u are, the better will be
Not true. People can be as shallow as in any other place. It depends on the individual.
There are no additives in European milk. It is either raw, pasteurized, or sterilized.
Good milk becomes sour when it is too old, bad milk becames bitter
Yeah, pasteurizing is quite an old invention. We have a local processing plant here (Finland) that has found some new way of doing that and their milk remains good for weeks. And there are still no additives (other than vitamin d, which is mandatory to my knowledge... some old ruling). Other companies milk usually have their bets before date in about two weeks max and if opened will remain good for about a week after that. Unopened, maybe two weeks. All this is of course subject to how well the cold chain has been remained. Let the milk warm up at some point and it will go sour pretty fast.
@@Garbox80 in Finland you need to add vitamin D to milk, because otherwise you'd feel sick from the low amount of sunshine (despite native Finns having skin - in my opinion - not just white, but almost transparent).
@@krakendragonslayer1909 Yeah, but the amount in milk is pretty low and people have consuming a lot less milk than ehat they used to back when that decision was made. I'm not against it, not at all, just that it doesn't actually serve the purpose. I use supplements myself, a "heavy" dose (100 micrograms a day, 200 if I feel like I'm catching a cold) compared to the official recommendations, and my blood levels are still only about 120-130 mmol/l.
Beware: Europe is not paradise, and wherever you move, it is always hard to adjust and build a new life. Also, things to keep in mind: 1) Finns are reserved! It can be hard to make new friends. 2) The Finnish language is REALLY DIFFICULT to learn. 3) Finnish winters are dark and cold af. It can affect your mood (I personally suffer from seasonal depression, and quite a few people do). Absolutely not saying it's a bad idea to move there, but just sowing some realistic expectations :) It's good to be prepared.
😂 if you only knew 😂
@@foreignreacts You don't. Sorry.
As a swede I totally agree, oh and 8 months of darkness is no joke 😅
The adjusting is probably the hardest part, especially if you are moving alone or don't know anyone from where you are moving too.
Also like you say, Europe is no paradise but it's much better than the US in a lot of areas and I know this in reverse as I'm European and lived in the US for 2 years and that was a major wake-up call for me because I always saw the US from how the movies showed it which reality is quite different.
We Europeans don't realize how lucky and easy we have it and it sometimes takes seeing the other side to realize that.
One thing I will say about Europeans, boy do we complain about everything lol, and I wonder if it's that complaining on why we have it so good because we are willing to stand up, protest and fight for things to be better whereas I feel in the US, people seem quite subdued by the system which is taking advantage of a lot of Americans, especially the lower and middle classes.
Come to London love.
The curious thing about safety in Europe is not because of police enforcement or police presence. It's because people in the most part don't look to do harm to babies in strollers.
My friend Its so funny you need to laugh because the second girl is loud.... you have the same volume haha
I think the last one said that in the rest of the world it's fine if you don't have your life resolve until your 30's (career, house, car, family) And you kinda prove their point.. you, as an US citizens, view all that as bad. When the rest of the world would tell you that you live your life at the speed you want, is ok to not have things figured out. We prioritizes happynes over rushing success
If you are 35 in Europe and have no control over your life, still living like you are 18, people will definitely not think that is a good thing. Except of house. Mostly it is not expected to ever buy or build a house.
@@altenberg-greifenstein this has nothing to do with maturity or "behaving like a 18 yo"...
there's people who find their passion and carrer at age 60's, who form a family in their 40's, who never owned a car o a house... and it's ok... You can have a job and be a funtional mature adult and still dont have your life resolved... not all jobs let you live as you want, not jobs make enough money to leave as you want. I would say bloodline is the only thing with an expire date and it's still relative to the person..
Hi, in Germany, every person is obliged to help people who are in need or who are helpless. whoever does not help is guilty of negleciting to provide assistance. which can result in a fine or imprisment. Also always make the emergency call. 112 is the emergency nummer in europe. this is free.
To add to that the emergency number in the UK is 999. For non emergency medical advice 111 also free. Also road and air Ambulances are free.
A little addition:
You're required to help unless help is already there. 50 people trying to help some kid who broke a foot might cause more bad then good.
And of course you are not required to help by endangering yourself. You don't need to run into a burning building. But you need to do the bare minimum of atleast searching for help (which usually boils down to calling emergency)
911 is also working in Germany in most regions
112 is the most international emergency number, and on GSM it's the emergency number that works everywhere (as long as you're on GSM).
@@grahamsmith9541 Is UK removing the 112 redirection number? Would be silly to do that.
But the preservative IS a big deal, because no doubt it’s a chemical. Milk shouldn’t last that long and if it does, then it’s definitely not something you want to be putting in your system.
everything is "chemical" but yes it is extremely unhealthy + there much more hormones allowed the US food too.
I'm from Finland and I have a friend in America who sent me a box of chocolate as a valentines day gift. The chocolate tasted like a vomit 🤢 I couldn't tell him the truth that it was awful 🙈 When you come to Finland, definitely go and buy a Fazer chocolate, you taste the difference 😄
13 years of school, what she means by all year around is like that we dont have like 3 months of vacation. In Germany for example its 6 weeks in summer, 2 weeks autumn, christmas 2,5, easter 2 and in between some holidays, so you also go to school in every season basically and dont skip summer
In Finland we have 10 weeks in summer, a week in October, two weeks around Christmas and a week in February. I don't think anyone goes to school all year round anywhere.
That's how it is in Scotland. We get 6 weeks in Summer (late June to mid-August), and 2 weeks in autumn, winter, and spring, plus teacher-training days. And the last day of term before Summer and Christmas break is a half day, so we finish at noon rather than 3:30pm.
In south germany we have another 2 weeks of pentecost (Pfingstferien) holidays in june. That's our time to travel to the UK. They don't have that either and accomodation is cheaper
I think you misunderstood the last guy. He was saying that it was okay to not have a plan and to not start a family until your mid-30s. In America, people tend to get married and have children sooner than in Europe.
I think the lady that said about the US education system was on to something. When i was at school there was a girl in my class who was top of all the classes and she moved to the US for two years to live with her mum and when she moved back she was the bottom of all the classes. Literally spending two years in US education and culture changed her whole path in life from being someone who was destined for university and the top jobs to someone who is probably going to be doing near minimum wage jobs.
We had a boy from America in my school. The crazy thing was what he had been taught in school before....
He had literally been taught that the universe had been created in 7 days about 8000 years ago and that man and dinosaurs were around at the same time but the dinosaurs were wiped out because they weren't on the ark!!
@@dasy2k1 maybe he was taught that by his parents I know some US schools try to not teach the theory of evolution but I haven't heard of them teaching creationism as fact unless they are a religious school of course
@@bluesz1bluesz17 may well have been a religious school. I know the school here dispaired of having to deal with his parents as they were the absolute steriotypical eveangelical extremists that forms one of the half dozen types of British stereotypes of Americans
@@dasy2k1 they say we sent out criminals to Australia and our religious nut's to the US
I once heard a semi-serious joke about the main difference regarding work:
Europeans work to be able to buy things they need.
Americans work to be able to buy things they don't really need but for impressing the neighbours, many of which they don't even like.
I live in Switzerland and what the woman is saying is 100% true. I'm from England originally. For me this place is paradise in way of quality of life and open mindedness.
But extremely expensive.
@@aswler yes however the salary makes it so you actually have disposable income even with only earning the minimum salary. Where as in England where I am originally from, on a minimum salary you scrape by in most areas. If you are coming to visit then yes damn it will seem expensive as it did for me when I arrived. But after that 1st salary your like.. "I can get used to this" lol.
You must come also to Estonia 🇪🇪 when you move to Finland :) it’s only 2 our trip :) and it’s not so expensive here :)
Look, just as you disagreed with the boy's testimony at the bottom of the video, with your own words you have vice versa confirmed his. In your example you start well by suggesting that these are individual choices, but then you assume that in old age those who have chosen not to follow that path of wife, children, career must necessarily look back and believe that they have made wrong life choices. What transpires in my eyes is that you specifically place yourself as a coretto supporting the freedom of choice but at the same time you have prejudices against those who do not pursue the same purposes as you in their life. Let's understand, even here it is full of potential grandmothers who ask their children for a grandchild to cheer them up in old age or parents who press their children towards conformist lifestyle choices, and obviously even here the most extravagant are judged as such, but at least in general there is a tendency to accept and respect any person regardless of their lifestyle as long as this does not cause real disadvantages to others. About the milk, here in Italy we have both, the fresh in the fredge and the long term on the shelves of the grocery store, Almost ev0rybody use the fresh, you buy the long term just in case sometime, IDK you can't go to shop for some day so you buy 1L of long term over your abitual fresh 'cause the taste (and the nutritional value) are very different.
The Germans (Flixbus) bought Greyhound Lines last year. Let's see if traveling by bus across the US improves now.
Drivers licence: Yes it is expensive and NO, it does NOT take two years. You have to take at least a given minimum of driving lessons (plus theory lessons) and the driving school has to get a slot for a driving test. But then it is up to you, how often you want to repeat this, and when you finally find out, that it is possible to learn the theory ( driving is not the most difficult thing for most). So 6 to 10 weeks should be enough (if you don't fail).
Autobahn correction - parts of it have no speed limit, other parts have limits between 120 and 180, sometimes 40-80 if theres construction.
You are legally allowed to drive "slow" on the right side of the road though your vehicle has to be able to drive at 60 km/h to be allowed on the Autobahn.
If you drive slow on the left side, you can kinda do that if you still pass vehicles on the right side. Trucks do that frustratingly often.
Yeah, but the advisory speed on the Autobahn is 130 km/h.
Ja, "Elefantenrennen"!
Sind übrigens verboten, aber es kümmert niemanden wirklich...🤷🏼♂️
I have friends (not close friends but still pretty good friends) I know through various hobbies and things that I still have no idea what they do for a job after around 10 years in some cases - and they don’t know what I do. I can’t imagine that being possible in the US from my time there
I genuinely do not know what one of my four brothers does for a living. I know it's office based and reasonably well paid. The other three brothers I know what they do but couldn't tell you the name of the company they work for.
But... why? Why don't you speak about your jobs with your friends? That would be *quite* sociopathic here in Spain! What's next? Not even knowing how much they earn?
@@BlackHoleSpain haha not a great deal, I don’t know what anybody I know earns apart from myself
Just read the other comments……you seem to be a little dismissive over the issue the milk lady mentioned and one of the other commenters . Yes you have done a video but I don’t think you fully understand, in the Cheddar video it explains the lipolysis process and the addition of butyric acid thus giving the less desirable flavour, it also states that European chocolate producers use other preservatives in order to increase shelf life but which do not effect the flavour. These preservatives cannot be used in fresh milk which is homogenised, pasteurised and refrigerated only, the word fresh legally determines that the milk is fresh….not modified with anything else. I wish you well with your plans… Finland is a beautiful country, l especially loved Turku and the Baltic coast mainly because I love the writing’s of Tove Jansson . Up on the arctic circle I tried fresh unpasteurised reindeer milk…….it’s bloody lovely…very creamy….you need to try some, keep safe and well, love from UK🇬🇧👍
The girl that talked about corn and shapes - corn actually is real good for you and help with bowel movement. In America it's more about the chemicals that's in the food(where it's banned in other countries). Those things mess up your immune system and the way you feel.
Well, if you eat better food and don't work all day long, you will not be that old when you're 60. In Sweden, most people get retired when they're 65 years old. Then they start travelling, work in their garden, have meetings with friends all the time, there are different "meeting places" for retired pepople around here with a lot of activities... My mother, she have never been as active before she got retired compared to afterwards. And she have more friends, and are in many ways more healty and so on. That's still the case, even if she's soon 70.
Just keep it realistic. Europe has it's problems and there will be racism (sadly it's still everywhere), some things will be better and some things you'll miss. It can be hard to build a new life and friend group. You might feel isolated or a bit overwhelmed after a while. Sure the majority speaks English and you can communicate, but you will be submerged in a different language and culture. Don't be disheartened, European countries have much to offer, but it's not paradise.
Hey, German here. If the sign is saying "No Speed Limit" there's literally no speed limit. A few month ago a Czech millionaire drove his Bugatti in the early morning with 417 km/h (219 mph) over the Autobahn. Because of the enormous speed, the Public prosecutor had investigated, if he made a illegal race (against himself) but the investigations were dropped a few weeks ago. But for your safety it's considered only to drive up to 130 km/h (80 mph), because your insurance could say, they don't pay if you make a accident at higher speed.
But it doesn't take 2 years to do your driving licence! Unless you are absolutely st***.
I'd say 5 months max
@@j.h.7730 Depends on how motivated you are and how often you fail the tests :)
Taxes in Sweden take me 1 min. I get the papers sent to me from the Taxdepartment all filled in and i then check the numbers and see if they are correct, i then log in to the taxdepartments webside with Bankid, i sign and taxes done.
I would also never buy Milk that last for more then a week. For a long time i lived out in the forrest in a large house next to a farmer. I bought milk from them which lasted a little bit less then a milk but it was all fresh direct from the cow. So anything outside of that 1 week means they put shit in to it that i don't want to have in my body.
You misunderstood the final one. He was saying it’s fine to be single and free and not have your life planned out
Do taxes all day? What a waste of free time... My tax forms are prefilled at goverment website. I can accept it or edit. All employers are obligated to do reports monthly and yearly in global IT tax system and after year every worker has its own filled tax form. Of course you can simply add via webpage some tax refunds etc but also in very simple way. And we are doing this for years now.
Last time when I filled paper tax form is... 10?12? years ago :)
Also I can transfer money to another person (phone number) in one click in bank app instantly. Even if another person has account in diferent bank. And all of that in very secure way. You can search for "how to use blik"
welcome in the 21 century :D
My comment was deleted because i said my government was corrupt and steals money from taxpayers! Great.
Most Finns understand English perfectly, but are shy and hesitant to speak out loud. Integrating to Finnish society can be hard, but if you socialize with people, who share your interests in work, hobbies, sports, music, politics, social issues,.. or whatever, you'll find friends easily. Most Finns like and admire Americans, so you'll be very welcome, but it'll take some time to sneak in Finnish society. Small talk is not a thing Finns are used to. Finnish summer is lovely, but winter is cold, icy, dark hell. I sincerely welcome you. Finland is by no means perfect nation. It has its flaws, but day-to-day living is laid back and people are - at least for most parts - very nice and friendly.
12:28 Taxes take a whole day?? Then he must mean the USA taxes he still has to pay. In the Netherlands, at least for Dutch citizens, there is no paperwork, you file your taxes on the government website. Might take one hour or so on average. For me, renting, no big savings or stock and no kids, it took about 15 minutes.
Even an hour sounds long! In Estonia, unless there’s something wrong with what was automatically reported, it takes about 5min to log in and press accept.
in Poland longest part of doing taxes is logging to the system (there are few stages of authorization)
Takes me less than 5 minuts each year.
It takes me like two minutes in Sweden. You open an app, log in and digitally sign, the taxes are already done by the tax department.
@@petragrevstad2714 Same in Denmark, usually it is just a matter of wether or not you need to pay more taxes for that year or you get refund. If you have to pay you have the option to look at the numbers and adjust income ect to balance things out if needed or possible. But the automated tax system are ussually pretty spot on for the most part
When I travelled to Western Europe (I'm from Eastern) 20 years ago I learned not to throw trash on sidewalk and to segregate trash into plastic, metal paper and bio.
Years passed, my country developed, their countries moved back, now we have clean streets and everything new and fresh, they have mess.
The normal school year is around 38 weeks. So I don't know what sort of school she went to that lasted all year.
Hey man... I'm very excited for you. For Europe as well, cause such open minded and open hearted people, I love to see them as a new citizen of Europe.
Who retires at 60? The retirement age is about 65 now in Finland, and by the time I'll get to retirement age it'll probably be 70.
😢
I think 65 is very common across Europe.... but I believe if it goes on like this that my generation ( I am 31 now) wont even have the privilege to retire. I hope it wont be that way though.
@@Niki91-HR yeah, they're continuously raising the retirement age.
@@ivylasangrienta6093 Yes,.... we might just die at work xD
So many expectations in USA and of course many other countries regarding achievements in your life. Be an individual, do what is right fir you.
Have a good life.
I think the lady that went to school in Scotland express herself badly: no country in Europe has school all year around. For instance, here in Portugal, we have Christmas holidays (2 weeks), Mardi Gras holidays (3 days), Easter holidays (10 days) and Summer holidays (roughly 2,5 months, depending on it being a final year or not). Even if the times aren't the same, every country has school holidays, at least around Christmas and in the Summer.
Yeah where I live we get a bit before christmas and until next year, easter holidays for a couple of days, spring holidays are like a week or more.
Then we just get like free days for like the day of independence, or whatever other historical celebrations. Also free days thanks to the principal having days off.
Remember to take some kind of D-vitamin supplement in Finland, especially in winter. The amount of sunlight around there isn't optimal for darker skin.
I truly mean this as good hearted advice, no tea no shade
Eu-ro-pe-ans, not Eu-rOpe-eans Buddy!^^
I am 29 I am single amd without kids. I work 32 hours a week I enjoy going out and I spend my money the way I feel. I dont have anyone to take care off except myself and for the time being I am sattisfied. I am in now way in a hurry to get into a relationship or start having kids. Marriage is also not something that is on my priority list if it is up to me i wont ever get married.
You missunderstood the last guy. And you paused in the middle of the sentence so that added more to it. He was saying that all those things, not having everything figured out yet and not having kids at a particular age etc, is OK.
There is no preservative in European milk. You eithe rhave "fresh" milk which is milk that has been pasteurized (aka heated) for a short period of time or pasteurized for a lenthy period of time. The latter will allow an unopened milk to be ok to use for about a year. But once you open it, it spoils within about a week. My experience with US milk is that. even opened, it won't spoil for a much longer period of time. So either the milk is different or they add something.
For the chocolate one: The ingredient she is referring to is butaic acid, the stuff you get when butter goes rancid. Due to how chocolate was first mass produced (and has since been made) in the USA, it contains butaic acid, which gives it a flavour that europeans really tend to dislike.
Love the way that chick speaks. You say stereotypically American and loud. But tbf fair it was fun and not the "annoying loud sounding American". This chick has sass
Public transportation for example in Berlin, Germany. Berlin is a laaarge City, 8x big than Zurich but you can get from any point in the city to any point in the city within less than a hour with public transportation. You don´t need a car.
I still don't understand, who is kidnapping children and why are they kidnapping them?
For the dark winter days, you should get yourself this special lamp that act like the sun. It helped some people I know that moved above the polar circle
sure you want to go to Finland now on the Russian border , Boris has just signed an agreement to support Finland if the Russians invade , plus Finland joining NATO is really going to upset Putin now...
Shoot I have no regrets if I die
Well end of my life story
Sacrifice must be made
I know Finland will join nato
@@foreignreacts I like Finland, it's a lovely country, but I doubt if I could live there, always feel if I've gone off grid in Finland, great stress reliever , and great for people who don't like alcohol as alcohol is hugely expensive to the point a few of my friends used to catch the Vodka express to St Petersburg for a cheap weekend away...lol, but guess you can't do that now 🤷😂😂
Damn, going to school all year sounds awful! In school in The Netherlands we have a lot of breaks lol.
Spring break (1 week), May break (2 weeks), Summer break (6 weeks I believe), Autumn Break (1 week) and Winter break (2 weeks, this includes Christmas and New Years.)
In Amerika hebben ze 11 tot 12 weken zomer vakantie. Dus bijna de hele zomer.
Welcome to Finland
Here in Brazil the school year starts in February and in July we have the winter break that can range from 2 to 5 weeks, then the school year ends in December.
If you sum these breaks with the amount of holidays we got, you can technically say that our students sorta get 3 months break too.
Who do all black guys call ppl "BRO"? Even women 😳
So, I don't know about Scotland, but in England and Wales there's 39 weeks (roughly) out of 52 of school. The longest break is six weeks in the summer. Christmas and Easter each have a two week break, and there are three one week breaks in the middle of each of the three terms. So there's school in all four seasons, but not the whole year round.
It's pretty much the exact same in Scotland, but instead of three mid-term breaks, we have 2 weeks in October, and 3 days around mid-February. I think our Summer holidays start and finish earlier than England's. We usually end the term the last week in June, and go back mid-August.
I am from Luxembourg (this country you probably don't know of... it is between france, germany and belgium... yea, really small) and I would gladlly welcome you to europe dude... I have seen videos of yours and you seem sincere. I am from probably one of the richest country per capita in the world. We speak at least 3 languages... you will be welcome in finland or germany dude !
Moien 😃
You really really have to learn to be NOT the "loud american". Especially if you watch videos that are on a very low volume, so i have to put the volume up as much as possible, and then you all the time SCREAM in there so that it blows away my ears.
So yeah .. please lower your voice and up the volume of the videos and try to find a balance.
What i actually have to do is put the volume at 100% when the first girl in the video speaks, and then as fast as possible down to 20% when you start to scream.
Oh and the second girl, yeah i could undstand her also at 20% .. but you don't need to turn her down for us, since you are still waaay louder than even her.
I actually turned my volume up and the original video lower 😣
@@foreignreacts Have you actually watched the final video on TH-cam ? I don't know how the production works, so thats why i ask. If not, just watch it. I mean there are pieces later in the video where you just speak with a modest voice that are fine, but in the beginning the girl is very calm, and then you start to scream and it blows your ears away 😲 2:16 for example or 2:45
The Scottish ciriculum is not 365 d/py. Though it is officially the most educated nation in Europe :)
School term dates 2022
January
Schools return on Wednesday 5 January 2022
Until June
Summer Holidays from Friday 24 June till August 17th (Thats a full 8wks for summer holidays)
Pupils return Aug 28th till Thursday before Xmas.
In the year there are various holidays like the October Week and Sept weekend (Fri-Mon) plus lots of other Public Holiday days.
But that’s practically what I know all schools do
Might not be that exact schedule dates but it’s pretty close
@@foreignreacts Yep, England is the same but have Summer Holidays at different times (generally 2wks later) I'm not sure where the lady got her information about 'All Year' lol...
@@foreignreacts 'SChools' might be a little different as We don't have a middle School... You start Primary school about 5yrs old until 12yrs old, then High School from 12 - 16yrs old (though you can stay on till 18 to do a higher level of exam each year).
Italy.. Same here: from September to June with Christmas holidays in the same period and then more or less a week in Easter. During the year there are then I think 5 more specific days that, if they are not during the weekend, there is not school.. But just that day.
From 6 to 14 years old is mandatory! Then 5 years more, which the majority do.. So 13 years. After this, university.
@@foreignreacts in belgium school starts at sept 1st and ends june 30. You get a week of in the fall, 2 weeks christmas break, a week after lent begins (because that's when carnaval is being celebrated), 2 weeks easter break and then public holidays and if it falls on a thursday, schools usually make the bridge to the weekend, meaning there's no school on friday either. School starts here at age 2,5 but starts mandatory at age 5. So it's preschool upto kindergarten from 2,5 til 5/6 (depending on your birthday), then 6 years primary school and then 6 years secondary school. School is mandatory til age 18
Also under no circumstances do they add chemicals to our milk... open a bottle of milk and leave it in the fridge, itll go bad in 2 or 3 days but if left outside in the summer, it takes a day to go bad and that's how you know it's good quality milk.
Overall quality of life is the most important thing, Americans don't seem to see it that way.
With regards to Scottish schooling our terms are different we don't have the same two month long summer break that America has it is just that our summer holiday is shorter but we have longer holidays spread throughout the year.
Actually in Germany people r very connected to their job and employer. This is also due to the fact that companies give their trainees payed jobs (in germany its 3yrs of training in the company and a school for each individual kind of job / Police 4 years of training) and try to bind the employees with all kinds of support and keep them loyal. this loyalty leads to improvement of the efficency and product quality. So they kind of also live for their jobs - but with at least 3 weeks of payed vacation and free healthcare (what also helps the companies in the end - a healthy worker is more efficent and a sick worker who is worried all the time how to pay medical bills instead of giving 100% for his job.
Drivers License in Germany takes between 2 or 4 month (not years) with a lot of training hours with a driving teacher and costs about 2k to 3k. And u dont lose ur license for driving slow. u get a warning and after a certain amount of warnings they take the license temporarily till u passed a second test
In Spain trainees are not paid. The usual mindset here is that employers are *your enemy* and must be fought. Also companies don't care about good performance, they only try to minimize costs with the lowest salaries. Employees are seen as a burden instead of an asset. So usually students ask themselves why studing a career if many high skilled jobs are paid 18-21k €/year and low-skilled jobs are paid minimum wage (14k €/y)? The answer is that absolute dorks which cannot do anything don't ever get employed.
Welcome in Europe. Bienvenue. Il faut venir en France!
in germany and austria you have to do 9 years of school mandatorily, and if you wanna study at university its an additional 3 years before you enter university. however we have a total of 3 months off each year from various hollydays so its not quite all year round
In Spain we have changed our educational system several times the last decades. But now we have 10 years of compulsory learning, some additional 2 years if you wish to enter university (which is 3 years + postgrade studies) or 2+2 years of vocational training grades. It's almost impossible that you get a job if not having a degree further than compulsory education, not even as a street sweeper.
Hi Gio,
In Germany if you see a stroller parked with the handlebars in your direction you're sometimes inclined to take a curious look to what's really in there. Sometimes it's empty, sometimes it's used as a shopping cart for groceries (but NO toddler/baby in there!), sometimes you'll discover a cute doggie. If there's actually a little hooman in there you might wanna know it it's a boy or a girl.
Then there are those extra-wide strollers where two kiddos would sit side-by-side or those "long vehicule"-type strollers where two or three kiddies would sit one after the other. Then you have bicycle trailers with the same function (either cargo or kiddies, 2 of those side-by-side but facing backwards) or cargobikes (cargo or 1-2 kiddies facing to the front sitting between the two front wheels or a bike with a special children's seat on the package rack behind the cyclist. I've also seen a stroller weth just 3 wheels (4th one missing) but still in use and a luxurious one with 5-spoke alloy wheels just recently... There are ones who are foldable (to better fit in the car), come with a retractable soft top, an additional rain screen AND a sun-protection umbrella. Primitive ones are foldable and also used for groceries/shopping (big pack of toilet paper!) and kids, sometimes all at once. another type is one where the smallest kid sits within and the older one would stand in front of the young one, facing his mother.
europe has two types of milks for decades. fresh and long lasting. fresh goes bad after like 2 days of opening, long lasting goes bad in like 5-6 (if kept in fridge). it doesnt have preservatives its just "pasterized" (i thing its called ultra heat treatment in english, basically they will boil it for like 2 seconds for really high temperature killing all bacteria in it while not harming all the good stuff)
You will be happy in Finland, but winter is long!!!I couldn't do it, I need sun.
We DO NOT put preservatives in milk. We also don't wash our eggs with chemicals so they don't need to go in the fridge.
Hey FR. Have you begun learning the languish from your next homecountry?
It would be a good idea. It is not an indo-european languish, it is something for it self / unik.
It sounds great in, but I dont understand a word of it.
If you show them that you atleast try, you will be even more welcomed,
and it may be easyer to intergreat and understand the culture.
It is language
@@donmaddox8898 It is, but of the finno- unguric family. There are no other languages like those two.
@@claudiakarl7888 Mansi, Khanty, ...
Thanks.
@@claudiakarl7888 well there is estonian but you are mostly correct
Big difference is we are not worried about all the things Americans are.
Not worried about getting shot, because are almost no guns on the street. Not worried about getting sick as healthcare is free. Not worried about money, as min wage us good and benefits for all who need them. Not worried about being fired they can't fire you for nothing because of laws, and if you do lose your job, you get a redundancy payment and paid all the leave your due. Not......
You have the holidays for the school in Scotland unless it's some special school I'm not aware of. You also get summer off. In Switzerland I think they have Wed half day (or maybe full day off). So 4 days a week and the level equivalent they are 2 years ahead of US level. It's crazy when you think about it.
Whole milk in America actually tastes like it was made with powdered milk or a mix of powdered and regular.
It does seem to last for weeks, which must be the preservatives added to an already processed and altered product. I hate using it, even in cooking.
25 days of payed "vacation" here (you have to take them). I am so happy living here. And don't listen to the people that say if you are an american, say that you are canadian... no ! Not true, nobody cares.
In Scotland of course we have holidays and plenty of them. In Scotland we have great summer holidays, we have excilent Easter holidats. Christmas and Hogmany (new year) holidsys are long and wonderful, we also normaly have a week off for half term. So i have no idea what she was going on about regarding no holidays, utter rubish.
8:15 It does not matter how many hours you are working, but what you achieve - in your work and in your live.
Actually - in Poland we have so digitized public services that you can do almost any official matters like registering car, register new baby, get social security number or pay taxes from your PC. You don't go to any office. And what might be suprising for most Americans and even Europeans - in Germany it's the opposite 🙂BTW - my taxes takes me 15 minutes every once a year.
Scottish school holidays are 1 week in february, 2 weeks at Easter, 6 weeks in summer all of July and half of august, 2 weeks in October and 2 for Christmas and new year. Total thirteen weeks off plus some odd days
In Spain most summer holidays are 10 weeks (12 weeks in some places) because it's almost impossible to attend schools, which lack air conditioner.
Today May 13th is the first day that we reached 30ºC (86ºF) but will be 35ºC in June and even 40ºC in August!!!
If you live a healthy lifestyle with whole, unprocessed plant foods being the majority of your diet, you won’t be old at 60 😅
Even Scottish schools have 13weeks holidays
Here in Ireland some farmers will feed live stick skittles aswell, it's a source of energy and they won't feed them that kind of stuff on a regular basis, it's more of a treat for them
14:50 those words are facts.
Dutch person here. If anyone brags to me about working 70 hours a week I'd probably kindly explain to them that time management is an actual skill. It can be learnt! Would you like help?
Well, have a nice trip to Europe. You wont need to say sorry everytime you laugh of something.
Dont be afraid of cops here aswell.
LOL here in Scotland schools arent literally al year round, there is 6 week summer holidays, 2 weeks christmas, 2 weeks easter, 1 week October and Long Weekends so not quite what she makes out! We start at 5 whereas believe America starts at 6 year olds.
I know it’s an old video, but I’ve just come across this. And let me tell you, your reaction to the Scottish school year, is exactly why America sucks so much. Your reaction was all me, me, me. You didn’t slow down to consider any differences whatsoever, or what they could involve. That same short term outlook is the same a American businessman, and why employee’s are treated so badly. It’s the “why should I pay a decent wage, when you can earn tips to make up your pay”… mentality. It’s such a short sighted and closed minded attitude to have
UK schools don’t get 2 months off in summer (spring break). They get between 6 and 8, depending where you are. But on top of that, the average school term is 6 weeks, with 1 week off in between, 2 was for Easter, and about 2 and a half weeks for Xmas & new year. Which gives the kids roughly 3 and a half months off spread throughout the year.
In Scotland you have school all year round? Sounds rough. In Finland we have summer vacations for over two months and a lot of days off for national holidays. And two weeks for Christmas and one week in October and another week on February just to get a breather from school.
Similar in Italy
In France school is mandatory from 3 to 16 (so 13 years in total), with 118 days of holiday per year.
It's not true that school goes all year round. There are holidays at Christmas, Easter and about 6 weeks in the Summer. In total 13 weeks holiday in the UK. Normal school is 12 years and if you go to university is 3 years for a degree, 2 more for a master and another 3 or 4 for a PHD.
Education is covered by the State in some countries but in the UK, if you go to university, you'll have to pay. Loans just like in America, just not so big. About 25k Pound for a degree. Unless you have a scholarship.
It's not only roses. People come to Europe thinking that is the Eldorado , but it's not easy to start. And free healthcare is for those with a working contract or a student Visa, or a Visa of some kind. You can't come here and expect to be treated for a major health problem, like surgery, for free. They will treat you, yes, but they will charge you. You'll have to be insured.
Transportation, yes, in the big cities. Not so easy in the small villages.
Food in Europe has about 3 times less sugar and fat than the one in the UK and the US. Same brands but different compositions. To please the customers, of course. And for chocolate in the UK and US they don't use cocoa butter which is better but more expensive. They use some kind of hydrogenated fat which makes the chocolate taste like soap after some time.
Houses are very expensive. Most youngsters can't afford to leave the family house until they finish their studies and find a job.
So, people, if you are thinking of moving wherever, get full information. Not on YT but on official sites.
The UK dairy is so great because so much is fed on just grass. In winter good grain. But not crap or corn.
School all year round doesn't mean Literally dude - she have to break down that answer. In America you're not thought so many things outside of America. It's up the individuals who want to branch out and be open to everyone else in the world
Kids in the UK have as lot of holidays. They are not at school 365 days a years.
6:12 "When I go back to the US I'm just going to eat vegetables, and protein shakes and pill supplements" She thinks she got it, but still her american culture influences her to try to get the quicker results. Woman, forget about the protein shakes and pill supplements, buy healthy products and learn how to cook them. And more important, give to your eating time the value it deserves, don't rush it and eat smaller portions.
school year round sounds hellish, but there are a lot of good arguments against the massive summer hols thing - spread a bunch of two or three week holidays evenly over the year instead of taking three months off in the middle
it makes schooling more efficient, you don't end up having to spend the first 6 weeks reviewing what you did last term because the children have forgotten it over the summer, and school as a vector of social services is _particularily_ important for the US, a truly worrying percentage of children in the US gets the bulk of their daily calories from school breakfast and lunch under subsidised food programs, to an extent that the covid school closures were bad because now children would go hungry - so, and this is gonna sound heartless of me but until and unless there is a better social safety net, spreading the school days evenly means less outright starvation, and "just" children being a hungry. Not having enough food in your daily diet for two weeks is more managable for the body than not having enough food in your daily diet for three months.
I'm Scottish. I don't know where she got the year-round schooling. We do have school breaks lmao. Summer holidays is 6 weeks off from late June to mid-August, then we get 2 weeks off in October, 2 weeks off for Christmas and New Year, and 2 weeks off for Easter. Plus we get In-Service Days, which is when students are off, but teachers go in for training and learning about new legislation or policies. Usually these are on the Monday when the new term begins All in all, we get 12 weeks and 5 days off school throughout the year. And the last day of term before Christmas and Summer break are half days, so we finish at noon but hardly anyone shows up for those days lol x
@@CommonInternetLurker oh yeah, i was just thinking about the premise of year-round schooling (also it's worth nothing that the us has comparatively few school days per year in the global sense), which sounds Terrible(tm), but there are some pretty good research backed pedagogical reasons to move towards such a system.
europe uses no preservatives in milk. it's either pasteurized, or high temp treated.
I have always wondered why don't people change their own country to be safe and have the values they admire in another country. I often wonder if they bring their bad habits and bad stuff with them when they move to another country and soon that country will then change to be the same they wanted to get away from in the first place. Like Finnish people in general a quiet. So we dislike people speaking in loud voice and nearly shouting. We value the quietness and speaking in toned manner. We are not shy, we just feel it is very self centered and obnoxious behavior. I think over exaggeration is overvalued in the States - Ismo pretty much sums it up perfectly th-cam.com/video/SbXmGgJePsk/w-d-xo.html ( i personally think people who are exaggerating everything are pretty phoney
American chocolate has to survive from Alaska to New Mexico so they add things to deal with more extreme temperatures. European countries are smaller so less fluctuation in temp
The bad taste of U.S. chocolate is due to historical precedent: because of distances involved between U.S. milk producers and chocolatiers, then by the time milk arrived at the chocolate factory, it was sour already. That was well before refrigeration had become a thing. Hence the sour taste, which has persisted.
Countries with the best chocolate: Estonia (Kalev, also Maiasmokk and craft chocolatiers), Finland (Fazer et al.), Sweden (a bit too sweet for me), Belgium, Switzerland (of course); France and Germany are good, too.
You can make a driver license in Germany in 3 weeks ( it’s a “holiday driver license class “) normally you have to attend a certain amount of theoretical lessons and practical lessons .
In Switzerland people have to drive at least one year before they can attend the driving test. I think they implemented this two years ago. You don't have to take driving lessons the whole year though. You can drive around with others who have a licence (I think that's not possible in Germany).
Important side info about the "school is all around the year-thing" : Yes it is true we have school around the whole year BUT and here comes the important difference - > different HOLIDAY/VACATION system. What do I mean by that? Well from what I learned in englisch class you guys have one big summer break that's going on for almost 3 months (I'm 100% not sure about the amount of time so correct me if I remembered it wrong). To my knowledge it's normal in Europe to instead split the amount of holidays in a lot of shorter periods. That's generally the way of doing it in Europe (there could be some exceptions since I'm not an expert). Extra fact about Germany: Bc our school system is in some aspects run differently from state to state (or German,, Bundesland") the holidays can vary from Bundesland to Bundesland. So in Bavaria, the most christian religious state, they have for example Whitsun holidays(hopefully I translated it right) which we in Berlin don't have but to even the amount of time out we instead have winterferien (Ferien=holidays). Maybe to give you a better imagination of the amount of holidays we have, here's the one specific for Berlin 2022: 8 days winterferien (29th of Jan. - 5th of Feb.), 13days Osterferien/Easter holiday (11th of Apr. - 23rd of Apr.), surprisingly 1 day Pfingstferien/Whitsun holidays (7th of Jun.), 44days Sommerferien/summer holidays (7th of July - 19th of Aug.), 13 days Herbstferien/autumn holidays (24th of Oct. - 5th of Nov.), 12days Weihnachtsferien/Christmas holidays (22nd of Dec. - 2nd of Jan 2023).
Extra info: every state has Sommerferien but they start and end on slightly different dates. It's intentional planned so that there won't be a whole country traveling at the same time, using trains, driving on the autobahn etc.
Finland might be a hotspot of tensions soon.
School 4 Terms per year with holidays between, that is what she meant. Not the whole summer off.
Im from switzerland. In the global wealth report the average adult in switzerland has 550'000$. But i think its more important to take the median, its 230'000$. Median means 50% of the population has more than this amount of money. We have really good social benefit programs and other stuff too. What i want to say with this is in rich countrys who take good care of the citizens there are not a lot people desperat enough to do crimes. So yeah, leaving babys out of the shop or your wallet on the table when you go pee is normal.
Why don’t you come to live in Europe? You will discover what real democracy is
