Happy New Year, Bronza. As a Finn who lived in London for almost a decade, I can verify your observations about feeling somewhat like a different person depending on the environment. Even though I'm very much a city boy, I eventually found London too much: noisy, crowded, expensive. And the logistics were a daily annoyance - spending ungodly amounts of time hanging on to a strap in an overheated tube carriage. I felt like my shoulders were always up, like I couldn't relax. Then again, I'm not a smalltown person (possibly because I grew up in one), so I don't think I could quite survive in, say, Jyväskylä. Now I live in Helsinki, which is big and cosmopolitan enough to feel like an actual city but small enough to bike everywhere. Stay safe and healthy.
I couldn’t agree more with you about how places influence your development. I believe a new place always bring you challenges, but also opportunities to expand your horizons, meet new people and even learn more about yourself. Keep enjoying the time with your family! Greetings from Australia
Hi Bronza and greetings from Finland! Such a nice video with interesting topic and oh boy, your English is very good indeed. Yes, Finland is very clean place to live with nature all around you. If you haven't, you should experience during summer time Finnish summer cottage by the lake and of course...sauna :-) . All the best and stay safe!!
Rather than making this a Finland vs Russia thing I hope you enjoy your time in Finland! Have you thought about moving to capital area (Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa)?
Audio is a bit low volume on this, btw. Anyway, as a Finn I find it funny to compare a 150k city to a 12M city :) Of course it will be different, even inside Russia. Cheers.
Thanks! Of course, but things concerning Finland in this video also works for many places in this country. So it makes sense to some extent.

I think the feeling of cleanness is air pollution. Moscow is metropolis and it has lot more air pollution, Finland in general has low air pollution and Jyväskylä isn’t that big city so the air is very clean and there aren’t enough cars to ruin it. In Jyväskylä going outside is literally breath of fresh air, in. Moscow or some other metropolis, especially in traffic time, it’s not. Ps. Jyväskylä born and raised, living in Huhtasuo :)

Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s very interesting. And I can definitely understand your feelings.
I think russia have big cities than finland but finland have beautiful natural i love live in world happines greatest and safest country in finland
Finland is beautiful....
The difference in the cleanliness of the spring time comes from air pollution. Finland has less of that than Russia.

Thank you! Ok, I will experience it in summer))
Finland > Russia in every way. I cant find one reason to live in Russia rather than in Finland.

Yep, I enjoy it here)) Well, I study here right now, so there is no sense of moving anywhere else, but, maybe, in the future, we'll see:)
The cutest Christmas sock ever! :)
Hah, thanks:)

Yes, I agree with you. The first time I came here I had headaches because of the fresh air. In Moscow it’s not so clean, obviously.
Cool!
I definitely would like to visit in St. Petersburg and Moscow
I think you really should do it at least ones:)
Heh, you must be Finnished already now! I have been both places and yes. They are totally different.
I should remember this sentence that I’m ‘Finnished’😂 well said, haha
