As a soon to be teacher in Sweden, I can confirm that everyone holds up Finland as a masterpiece of educational prowess. Politicians especially love to tout how they’re going to be the ones to implement the Finnish system in Sweden. I honestly think you guys should ride that wave just to dunk on us Swedes, even though we love you guys over here.
@Egolo Egman I personally love Finnish, but I can only imagine the animosity Swedish children would’ve felt towards Finland if we too had to sit down and learn 15 cases and five infinitive forms. @MrGunnar69 Southern Sweden gets pummeled by Finland in that regard for sure! Northern Sweden is hard to beat though.
One noteworthy misconception many people make, is that Finland is part of Scandinavia, which it isn't. We are part of the Nordic countries and Fennoscandia, but not Scandinavia
This is true, sort of. However Scandinavia is part of Fennoscandia and Finnish Lapland belongs in Scandinavian peninsula so if someone calls us Scandinavians it doesn't really bother me that much. It is close enough.
@@Ziegeri There is also lots of cultural and linquistical differences in this, not just geographical. On top of that, to say geography doesn't matter in any way or form tells me enough not to continue this conversation with you...
@@WickedBrutality well it has not had any effect to my life so far. And I have hard time seeing how it would affect to anything even if Finland was part of Scandinavia literally nothing would change.
Well reason for that is that in English-speaking countries people tend to use term Scandinavia when they are actually referring to Nordic countries. Term Nordic countries is not that commonly used in everyday conversations.
Exactly. Talking to people is nice as long as there is a reason for it. But as a human being with a 20/20 vision i can see that it's fucking cloudy today. You don't have to point it out
Oh but in fact Finns do love to speak about the weather, one of the main reasons I deleted Facebook. I simply wasn't interested enough to read what's the weather like in every part of the country 😑
Having lived in Finland, I can say that there are only two types of Finns: those who would avoid to make any conversation at all cost and those who wouldn't stop making conversations. There are no in-betweens.
As a non-Finn living in Finland, I was thinking about all of these too, pretty much on point. Specially this "shy Finns" bullshit. Well, go to any Finnish pub and you'll see how shy they are lol.
I think Finns and the rest of us people in the Nordic nations are the same, we don't drink too much alcohol on average, but we do drink a lot of alcohol when we party, mostly because we couldn't have a party without alcohol, it would be too awkward without it. Everyone would just sit there in silence, thinking, I could have done anything else than this at the moment, oh look everyone I found some vodka, now we can finally enjoy this party. I personally drink about every day, not much, but enough. A beer or 2 per day, roughly. It is really good after a hard day's work, to come home eat some food, and take a cold beer and just take a seat in the sofa and relax. After all Alcohol in small amounts is good for you.
Watch The video "Country alcohol consumption comparison." Finland's alcohol consumption has dropped drasticly down in 10 years. It is fashion now NOT to drink alcohol. It has got a name "raitistelu". In Europe the highest alcohol consumption countries are: The 1st Moldova, the 2 nd Lithuania, the 3rd Chechia and the 4 The Germany Finland is likely in the middle even under. Forinstance Russia, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, UK, Estonia,Serbia Belarus, Portugal, Hungary, Cypros, Luxemburg, Poland etc. are ahead of Finland.
Another very common misconception is that Finland has high suicide rates, there's even the joke that Finland is the happiest country because all the sad people kill themselves, but this is just blatantly false. The stereotype has its roots in reality though. In the 90's during the big depression in Finland suicide rates skyrocketed and were some of the highest in the world for a moment, but suicide prevention programs were put in place and the rates have been steadily decreasing ever since. Nowadays the suicide rate in Finland is still a bit on the higher end for European countries but not by a wide margin and below the USA for example. Recently there have been promises made by politicians to improve mental health services and make therapy more available for the youth so we'll see how things will develop in the future.
Actually Denmark is the happiest country according to studies, although they are also the county with most psych-drugs per person, so that may be the secret reason behind that.
@@tarksurmani6335 I am sure there are some studies that puts Denmark to number one spot on happiness, but by doing a quick search on topic I found only one where either Finland or Denmark is near top spots and it is the UN World Happiness Index. On that index Denmark was number one last time in 2016, Finland has been on top spot for four years in a row now.
I've read the criteria and some of the data of Finland in the UN World Happiness Index in the past. The reason I think Finland (and other Nordics) places high, is the relatively low differences in socioeconomic standing of households and high educational standards. Both of which are majorly affecting/improving all the "negative" markers in that study.
Well about this and those Pisa scores. My bestie tried to kill themselves today but were so bad at math that are still kicking now. This isn’t a joke. :/
I was once reading a fantasy book made by some British dude. The caracters were on an adventure in Finland and for some reason there were polar bears walking on the streets of Helsinki.
i remember finnish nightmares having a meme about polar bears in finland, well one guy was calling the bs so of course me and few others went there to correct him by telling him stories about the time i forgot to fill the bears fuel tank so it ate the neighbours dog etc...
can confirm this no small talk part, as I have been watching these videos and silently sitting in discord with a Finnish friend of mine for the past half an hour only giving an occasional sign of life such as "huhhuh" "*clears throat*" and "perkele"
I think the praises of the Finnish education system are pretty deceptive, especially since in my opinion our education system is extremely poor during this Covid Pandemic, especially for university studies. And then there's thedevious fact that a fair bunch of workplaces in Finland won't employ you if you have only a Bachelor's Degree compared to a Master's Degree or Doctorate. That and I think a certain quotation describes the work of Finnish teachers: "Paljon paskaduunia pienellä palkalla", or something like that.

I've been wondering how they measure the alcohol consumption. The amount of alcohol finnish people bring in from estonia is huge and there aren't any records of it anywhere
It is count on statistics. About 1/5th of Finnish alcohol is "non documented" No idea how its calculated, but higher statistic maths is more complicated than my engineering maths
That "false" statistic is also the reason why Germany and Czechia always rank so high. Because of tourists that come to the country for a few days, get totally drunk and then leave.

Nice video! Here in Sweden I've heard arguments from irritating woke-ists that they parise Finland for having no homework as some sort of excuse to not study. And the fact that you bring up the other misconceptions like "Finns are shy introverts" and "vegetarians" bc of the school food - "Therefore we should do the same". I get the feeling that these misconceptions often come from politically motivated idividuals who like to point to other countries as some sort of reason to radically change things in their own country. Like when Americans point to Sweden and say "Look they are successful socialists therfore socialism is good" even though our market is pretty damn capitalist and the only reason we can have some sort of thing similar to the fantasy of socialsim.
One notable stereotypical image of Finns is that all Finns are crazy about Hevi Metall, don't talk at all and drink a lot of vodka, when in reality most Finns listen to commercial pop, drink a liter of coffee per a day, and we like to talk eternal conversations ("vatuloida", "vatvoa", "velloa") instead of short small talk. Hevi culture is one of the subcultures of Finnish music, but it has a huge visibility in how Finland is marketed and branded in other countries. But I have no any idea that where the idea that Finns always drink a lot of vodka has come from and why we still want to stick to that image.
Well....It comes from your "friendly little sister" Estonia, who sees lots of Finns either drunk on street or walking back to ship with ship-container full of cheap alcohol. But we love you still.
when we took part in the pisa test in 9th grade i accidentally crashed the program and the computer and the teacher got angry and made me sit outside. edit: also ive never had peasoup and pancakes at school.
It is suspected that Finland will pay silent money to maintain the "least corruption" status. But I don't know if it's true or just a rumor because I haven’t found any research on it. But if that were true it would be paradoxical.
@@danielmalinen6337 Politicians are paid so well there is no that much need for corruption. So in a way the corruption money is included in the salary.
@@danielmalinen6337 That makes no sense. If "least corrupted" status was achieved by bribing, why would tiny Finland spend more money on bribing than big countries like USA or China?
the definition of corruption probably means something like how common is it to give cash to someone to get what you want. here it is called 'suhteet' (relations), what makes things go your way., also the knowledge of 'what strings to pull', as we say, will take you further than what average people can get. There is also cartels in Finland. Idk if this falls under 'corruption', but... it is really about how one defines 'corruption'.
Your videos are informative and yet so funny! 😂 I have one special person from Finland and knowing more about Finland, the more I become curious and would like to visit your wonderful country in the future. Hope you get more subscribers. ☺️
For anyone wondering, the Finnish at the end in the Skyrim clip is _"What the fuck is the meaning of this?"_ and is said by the same bearded fellow as just before (Finnish TH-camr niilo22), implying he passed out from drinking too much and ended up somewhere unexpected :D
I lived in other countries and Finland has really a little corruption. A lot of cases like Jari Aarnio in other countries, but these ppl are protected and never get cought. All The media is silent of them. Let us not underestimate Finland The studies told 2022 the least corrupted countries are Finland, Denmark and New- Zealand.
Yeah. One of the reasons why the Aarnio case was so shocking and got so much coverage was because cases of that magnitude are almost unheard of in Finland. It's very rare that corruption cases of that level happen here.
@@georgiosgiannoukas3319 Could just be that they don't get caught, who knows how long corruption has been going on in the KRP. Maybe the guy before Jari Aarnio was the leader of even bigger drug cartel, but just didn't get caught.
funny thing about peasoup, Thursday being a peasoup day was so ingrained on one of my older relatives life that when they were in the army and it was skipped for one Thursday he filed a complaint about it. also schools and army both regardless of current budget always offer pancakes on peasoup days, no clue why but even the most underfunded school i ever went to had them
Man, the school food in Estonia is free for students, but it tastes like sewage most of the time. The portions are extremely small, because the price of each meal is like 1.3€
Sounds amazing, the price of each meal in my finnish city is 83 cents becquse they cut 10% of the fucking funding. The company that makes the food, Arkea, is one of the lowest rated companies in Finland, below 1,5 stars.
@@The_SD_Economist Well, in my school we at least get to choose the meal we want, but the choice is garbage. Every second meal has fish in it and it tastes shit. Every second day we have only soup to choose from. A lot of food goes to waste, if you can call that food There was a small scandal, that in order to win the right to supply school food (Tallinn), you had to set price for each meal on paper to 0.01€. Because of this, every supplier set the price to 1 cent and the company was chosen randomly
Our school lunch was €0,38 per person. It was considered the worst school "food" in the country in an investigative tv program about school food. I can agree with the result, I had lunch in a neighbouring town and it was like coming to heaven in terms of food and they considered their food bad. Our "boiled" potatoes could be used as weapons. The first year in school the food was awesome because they cooked the food at the school, then it became centralised as to cut costs. The TV program concluded that a small can of cat food was many times more nutritious than a full meal of school "food". My classmates that had eaten cat food also concluded that it was way better tasting than the school "food"! And the truth is, even with €0,38 per person we could make a lot better food in "domestic science", but I suspect that €0,38 also had to cover salaries of the staff considering how bad the food was. But at least we got free food, even if it's debatable if it could legally be called that.
Exactly. How corruption is dealt with is also a part of the corruption ranking. There are always people who are willing to indulge in corruption, but what matters is how it's met with.
3:16 Does she mean the hand position by 45°... Niin ja nämä videot on tosi hyviä ja nämä jutut on aika totta (These videos are good and these things are kinda true)
Me as a foreigner in Finland, I'm from middle europe, think that the alcohol consume in Finland is enormously. Finnish people drink so much, yes, mostly on weekends, but many during the days too. So many drunken people, in winter, you hear them inside the building, in summer it's outside, when they scream around in the night
Wrt. education system, Nokia, Angry Birds, etc. I'm starting to think us Finns should always be the unappreciated underdog... otherwise we get carried away and just gloriously pee in our cereal.
I agree. If we think we are the best, we stop looking for things that can be improved. And if we think we are the best but are not on top, then we start thinking how others are cheating instead of what they are doing right that we should copy.
Finland be like "oh no, we have a lack of x workers" but then the doctor union reduces the amount of people that can get chosen for studying for the career because the union wanted bigger paychecks. Sometimes unions are counterintuitive and might not even represent their workers well
What have changed since we were at the top is that the PARENTS involve themselves into the child's life waay too much. Like if your kid sucks at math then he sucks at math, but parents calls the teachers and ask "how could you give my child a such bad grade, my child really tried". Like if the kid sucks it doesn't matter how much he tried. Instead as a parent you should take that as "ok I have to teach my child so that he can catch up". But its easier to blame the teacher for being a bad one. Then back when we got that score kids went themselves to stuff like football training... maybe hockey players got a ride because of the big bag but I doubt it. We had to plan our day, today its the parents that plan it for them and almost forces em to go to a practice. Then to the 2nd thing that has changed is our good friend the computer and internet. Like if you gain a certain amount of knowledge per day the chance of gaining false or "will not ever need it in my whole life" is huge. Like kids watch tiktok and what do they learn "This is how you should jump on rail to crack your balls". Yes fun has always been there but not in the same amount, even kids shows tried to teach you something back in the day and today they teach you that if you are not looking like this or that you are a failure in life. Today's parents are being stupid. I don't mean they lack intelligence, they lack common sense. Entertainment is only about unusable information and some of it even teaches you that school is not important. Important to know that this doesn't include everyone and these examples could be out of place for some. My point is that 90% of it is the parents fault, 5% our leaders and 5% our teachers. (% are there to show who has the most power to affect the current situation)
3:02 Many of these things that used to work very well have been systematically destroyed as the years have gone by. The education system is a prime example of this, I have never nor will I ever understand the obsessive need to implement drastic changes to something that clearly works. If things keep on going the way they are, we can kiss goodbye to the well faring developed Finland that we still know today. Another symptom of our falling little utopia is national debt, we have fallen from the level of other Nordic countries to the level of the Baltics and very soon to be surpassed by Estonia. Good times indeed.
Peasoup... Veg... what?? Proper peasoup does have meat in it! Not much, but for the taste. Just check the cans on the grocery store. Even schools back when I was there 20 years ago weren't that cheap to not add bit of pork in it.
I must also say, as a brazilian, that the food comparison pic is BS. You're never gonna find a meal that posh in any school, private or public. We do get good meals for cheap in public university (Thankfully mine is the cheapest and I get to mock other universities for that) but it's often white rice, beans, a piece of meat and some salad, none of that elaborate stuff you see in the pic.
monday: krapula workday. tuesday: no drink much. wendsday: no drink much. thursday: no drink much. Frieday: Very many alot of drink and koskenkorva. saturday: more drink to combat krapula. sunday: very big krapula. Thankey very many.
Finland is often seen as one of the happiest countries Most likely absolutely unrelatedly the finnish suicide rate and coffee(stimulant) consumption are quite high per capita
If someone is using a bus shelter, it's their shelter now. So don't come close to it. Also you get school lunches? In Norway we just had to bring stale bread with cheese in a box.
School food is free for the most students (university students etc. get one for a large discount.) The quality is sometimes debatable, but free food shouldn't be taken for granted.

Like when Americans point to Sweden and say "Look they are successful socialists therfore socialism is good" even though our market is pretty damn capitalist and the only reason we can have some sort of thing similar to the fantasy of socialsim.

Tosi hyvä ja kiva video :) Jatka hyvää työtä
Thank you for that video! I learned so much with this
One notable stereotypical image of Finns is that all Finns are crazy about Hevi Metall, don't talk at all and drink a lot of vodka, when in reality most Finns listen to commercial pop, drink a liter of coffee per a day, and we like to talk eternal conversations ("vatuloida", "vatvoa", "velloa") instead of short small talk. Hevi culture is one of the subcultures of Finnish music, but it has a huge visibility in how Finland is marketed and branded in other countries. But I have no any idea that where the idea that Finns always drink a lot of vodka has come from and why we still want to stick to that image.
Well....It comes from your "friendly little sister" Estonia, who sees lots of Finns either drunk on street or walking back to ship with ship-container full of cheap alcohol. But we love you still.
when we took part in the pisa test in 9th grade i accidentally crashed the program and the computer and the teacher got angry and made me sit outside.
edit: also ive never had peasoup and pancakes at school.
Corruption exists everywhere.... that's obvious... but in relative terms Finland is very uncorrupt....
It is suspected that Finland will pay silent money to maintain the "least corruption" status. But I don't know if it's true or just a rumor because I haven’t found any research on it. But if that were true it would be paradoxical.
Or as one show host put it: "Our corruption rates are bad but not quite as bad as everyone else's aka we're the best" (or something along those lines)
@@danielmalinen6337 Politicians are paid so well there is no that much need for corruption. So in a way the corruption money is included in the salary.
@@danielmalinen6337 That makes no sense. If "least corrupted" status was achieved by bribing, why would tiny Finland spend more money on bribing than big countries like USA or China?
the definition of corruption probably means something like how common is it to give cash to someone to get what you want. here it is called 'suhteet' (relations), what makes things go your way., also the knowledge of 'what strings to pull', as we say, will take you further than what average people can get.
There is also cartels in Finland. Idk if this falls under 'corruption', but... it is really about how one defines 'corruption'.
You should do a video about finnish valentine's day, even thpugh it would be late. It is quite different to others.
Sun videot tupsahti muutama päivä sitten suositeltuihin ja pakko sanua et laatu tuotantoa on!👍 jatka samaa malliin!
Your videos are informative and yet so funny! 😂 I have one special person from Finland and knowing more about Finland, the more I become curious and would like to visit your wonderful country in the future. Hope you get more subscribers. ☺️
For anyone wondering, the Finnish at the end in the Skyrim clip is _"What the fuck is the meaning of this?"_ and is said by the same bearded fellow as just before (Finnish TH-camr niilo22), implying he passed out from drinking too much and ended up somewhere unexpected :D
Jeebus perkele I need to sub, Pavosen heska!
Great video though I was a little sad not seeing anything on Kimi Räikkönen lol
Loistavaa settiä jälleen kerran 👌😎
Guud work again!
I lived in other countries and Finland has really a little corruption. A lot of cases like Jari Aarnio in other countries, but these ppl are protected and never get cought. All The media is silent of them. Let us not underestimate Finland
The studies told 2022 the least corrupted countries are Finland, Denmark and New- Zealand.
Yeah. One of the reasons why the Aarnio case was so shocking and got so much coverage was because cases of that magnitude are almost unheard of in Finland. It's very rare that corruption cases of that level happen here.
@@georgiosgiannoukas3319 Could just be that they don't get caught, who knows how long corruption has been going on in the KRP. Maybe the guy before Jari Aarnio was the leader of even bigger drug cartel, but just didn't get caught.
The amount of homework that you will get just depends what kind of teacher you have .
Olisi kiva jos tekisit videon suomalaisten historiasta Formula 1:ssä
Ehkä vielä joskus tulee video suomalaisten moottoriurheilusta
Good video, thanks! 👍👏👏
I love this channel
This whole video is "Well you're wrong because you're only 98% right!"
That Rucka Rucka drop was perfect, you Fins are alright in my book!
funny thing about peasoup, Thursday being a peasoup day was so ingrained on one of my older relatives life that when they were in the army and it was skipped for one Thursday he filed a complaint about it.
also schools and army both regardless of current budget always offer pancakes on peasoup days, no clue why but even the most underfunded school i ever went to had them
Man, the school food in Estonia is free for students, but it tastes like sewage most of the time. The portions are extremely small, because the price of each meal is like 1.3€
We have free food for students too. And yeah its sometimes shit.
Sounds amazing, the price of each meal in my finnish city is 83 cents becquse they cut 10% of the fucking funding. The company that makes the food, Arkea, is one of the lowest rated companies in Finland, below 1,5 stars.
@@The_SD_Economist Well, in my school we at least get to choose the meal we want, but the choice is garbage. Every second meal has fish in it and it tastes shit. Every second day we have only soup to choose from. A lot of food goes to waste, if you can call that food
There was a small scandal, that in order to win the right to supply school food (Tallinn), you had to set price for each meal on paper to 0.01€. Because of this, every supplier set the price to 1 cent and the company was chosen randomly
@@The_SD_Economist *cries in uni and paying for my lunch*
2.90 and its as bad as the free food in highschool.
Our school lunch was €0,38 per person. It was considered the worst school "food" in the country in an investigative tv program about school food. I can agree with the result, I had lunch in a neighbouring town and it was like coming to heaven in terms of food and they considered their food bad. Our "boiled" potatoes could be used as weapons.
The first year in school the food was awesome because they cooked the food at the school, then it became centralised as to cut costs. The TV program concluded that a small can of cat food was many times more nutritious than a full meal of school "food". My classmates that had eaten cat food also concluded that it was way better tasting than the school "food"!
And the truth is, even with €0,38 per person we could make a lot better food in "domestic science", but I suspect that €0,38 also had to cover salaries of the staff considering how bad the food was. But at least we got free food, even if it's debatable if it could legally be called that.
At least Aarnio got caught. In the other countries these type of ppl never get cought.
Media is saying nothing .
Exactly. How corruption is dealt with is also a part of the corruption ranking. There are always people who are willing to indulge in corruption, but what matters is how it's met with.
3:16 Does she mean the hand position by 45°...
Niin ja nämä videot on tosi hyviä ja nämä jutut on aika totta
(These videos are good and these things are kinda true)
The ending
Your videos remind me of internet historian's videos
He is one of my favourites
That clip from vain kuolema is my all time favorite 🤣
-Swedish class
-Have low expectations
-"Småprat" in a cheery monotone textbook voice

Me as a foreigner in Finland, I'm from middle europe, think that the alcohol consume in Finland is enormously. Finnish people drink so much, yes, mostly on weekends, but many during the days too. So many drunken people, in winter, you hear them inside the building, in summer it's outside, when they scream around in the night
@Petri Jokinen ei kiitos
Nää on tosi hyviä videoita
You have the strongest Finnish accent I have ever heard
It has a name: " Rally English".
hyvä video as always
Never change that outro!😂👌
On hauskaa nähdä kun muut sanoo asioita Suomesta jotka eivät pidä paikkaansa:D
3:38 4000€ a month sounds like a lot of money to me
vitu hyvää kontentia
kiitos!
Huh löytyy jo sponsoreitaki👌kova meno
Wrt. education system, Nokia, Angry Birds, etc. I'm starting to think us Finns should always be the unappreciated underdog... otherwise we get carried away and just gloriously pee in our cereal.
I agree. If we think we are the best, we stop looking for things that can be improved. And if we think we are the best but are not on top, then we start thinking how others are cheating instead of what they are doing right that we should copy.
Finland be like "oh no, we have a lack of x workers" but then the doctor union reduces the amount of people that can get chosen for studying for the career because the union wanted bigger paychecks. Sometimes unions are counterintuitive and might not even represent their workers well
Marvelous! ✨
What have changed since we were at the top is that the PARENTS involve themselves into the child's life waay too much. Like if your kid sucks at math then he sucks at math, but parents calls the teachers and ask "how could you give my child a such bad grade, my child really tried". Like if the kid sucks it doesn't matter how much he tried. Instead as a parent you should take that as "ok I have to teach my child so that he can catch up". But its easier to blame the teacher for being a bad one. Then back when we got that score kids went themselves to stuff like football training... maybe hockey players got a ride because of the big bag but I doubt it. We had to plan our day, today its the parents that plan it for them and almost forces em to go to a practice.
Then to the 2nd thing that has changed is our good friend the computer and internet. Like if you gain a certain amount of knowledge per day the chance of gaining false or "will not ever need it in my whole life" is huge. Like kids watch tiktok and what do they learn "This is how you should jump on rail to crack your balls". Yes fun has always been there but not in the same amount, even kids shows tried to teach you something back in the day and today they teach you that if you are not looking like this or that you are a failure in life.
Today's parents are being stupid. I don't mean they lack intelligence, they lack common sense. Entertainment is only about unusable information and some of it even teaches you that school is not important.
Important to know that this doesn't include everyone and these examples could be out of place for some. My point is that 90% of it is the parents fault, 5% our leaders and 5% our teachers. (% are there to show who has the most power to affect the current situation)
very nice
This shit actually 5/5
3:02 Many of these things that used to work very well have been systematically destroyed as the years have gone by. The education system is a prime example of this, I have never nor will I ever understand the obsessive need to implement drastic changes to something that clearly works. If things keep on going the way they are, we can kiss goodbye to the well faring developed Finland that we still know today. Another symptom of our falling little utopia is national debt, we have fallen from the level of other Nordic countries to the level of the Baltics and very soon to be surpassed by Estonia. Good times indeed.
I live in finland, Its not actually too cold in here
pisa scores have been going down when they changed the minister and class sizes got increased and more self study at grade 3 onwards
Peasoup... Veg... what?? Proper peasoup does have meat in it! Not much, but for the taste.
Just check the cans on the grocery store.
Even schools back when I was there 20 years ago weren't that cheap to not add bit of pork in it.
True and it should be eaten with mustard
@@user-ls1bw2uw1j Uh... I don't like mustard in it. Mustard is for sausages only.
But some do.
I must also say, as a brazilian, that the food comparison pic is BS. You're never gonna find a meal that posh in any school, private or public. We do get good meals for cheap in public university (Thankfully mine is the cheapest and I get to mock other universities for that) but it's often white rice, beans, a piece of meat and some salad, none of that elaborate stuff you see in the pic.
Wait how you have almost 10k subscribers!?!?
I have been wondering about the same thing
Salkkariklipit kyllä kruunaa nää videot
monday: krapula workday. tuesday: no drink much. wendsday: no drink much. thursday: no drink much. Frieday: Very many alot of drink and koskenkorva. saturday: more drink to combat krapula. sunday: very big krapula. Thankey very many.
Finland is a very nice country :)
Keep it secret, keep it safe, the best add ever
Mahtavaa sisältöä
one time i watched a video about finnish schools with my friends and we counted errors in 30 seconds we had 11
Finland is often seen as one of the happiest countries
Most likely absolutely unrelatedly the finnish suicide rate and coffee(stimulant) consumption are quite high per capita
You have so strong finish accent
If someone is using a bus shelter, it's their shelter now. So don't come close to it.
Also you get school lunches? In Norway we just had to bring stale bread with cheese in a box.
School food is free for the most students (university students etc. get one for a large discount.) The quality is sometimes debatable, but free food shouldn't be taken for granted.
ihan mahtava :DDD
I am shy person of I met New People
Aarnio is the Finnish Gus Fring
Will you do a video on Hungary?
