    Nobody uses the term Fennoscandia apart from some weather men perhaps. Firstly we are Finns, secondly Nordic and thirdly European. Scandinavia comes from the peninsula where the Scandes (mountains) are. Since it refers to only Sweden and Norway plus Denmark, the term Nordic countries / Nordics is the best way to describe the entire area in Northern Europe.

      "Happiest country" sounds so unbelievable to me, since we always seem so crumpy and sad. We love our own space and the stereotype is, that we would rather pay 100€ so that our neighbour doesn't get 50€.
      Not to mention how "common" it is to have some sort of anti-depressants, its like "oh, which one did you get? I got this, but I've also had this and this and this".

    Finland has this thing called *population* *registry.* They log into it births, deaths, people moving in and out. Not complicated.

Being the good and friendly Finn that I am, I took out my wallet and asked him how much he needs. "I need about tree fiddy", he said.

    One thing about finnish civil war that is often misunderstood even in Finland is that the "red guard" were not communist. There ofcourse were communist in the leadership and in the members, but fast majority of them were social democrats or just fed up poor farmers that could never own land of their own felt mistreated. There is alot more to the war than that, but video painted a pretty misleading picture of the event. Also saying the white guard were on the side of the people is...debatable.

    Well, the Scandinavia thing - if it's defined geographically, it includes Sweden, Norway and North-West Finland (so that excludes Denmark). If it's defined based on the language, then it includes Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Faroese and Icelandic. So the concept of Scandinavia comprising of Sweden, Norway and Denmark is pretty artificial - especially when you consider that Swedish is an official language in Finland, but on the other hand, there are native Sami speakers in Sweden and Norway. So if you define Scandinavia as a country where the majority of people speak a Scandinavian language and it's a monarchy, then you get Sweden, Denmark and Norway. There aren't many other ways to group the countries like that. That kind of definition is mostly used by the people from Denmark, Sweden and Norway when they think they're too hip for the Finns and the Icelanders :D

    In the Finnish music series you should react to Ursus Factory. They are probably the best and coolest live band in Finland atm. Songs like "Eksistentiaalinen biisi", "Don't Stop Believin'", "Kaikki on niin vitun ihan jees", "Sydän on suuri", "Baby mä oon rock'n'roll" or "Tähdistöön" are all great! 😍

    Even tho it was long ago when we were part of Sweden we still have to learn Swedish at school and without it you’re not gonna get a good job.
    Also I’m interested, do American people also have parks for dogs where they can run free and play with other dogs?

    The Loch Ness creature or Nessie amongst friends is definitely hiding in one of the lakes in Finland. I don't think anyone knows exactly which one. Probably just moves around to avoid exposure. Clever Nessie.
    My suggestion for part 5 of reacting is Lauri Tähkä - Palavaa vettä.
