There is three reasons of two doors. In aparments they block noice. Overall you can leave your wet clothes there to dry, so the moist air doesn't come inside. There is a separate heater for that, so you can ramp the heat up. Last thing is cold weather. When cold weather is pushed through the door, the cold doesn't come straight inside, but there is second door to block the cold weather. When you come inside you come to much colder room than the house itself. So it is kinda insulating. With windows we have three or more classes with insulating air layers in between which basically does the same thing.
It's also the space where people will leave their shoes in. The double doors also exist in apartment buildings, in which there isn't enough room to have a "room" between the doors. There's just a door and another door immediately after you open the first one. But it still works for the noise and insulation
Cheese slicer (Ostehøvel in Norwegian, Juustohöylä in Finnish) was invented by Norwegian inventor Thor Bjørklund roughly 100 years ago. It became common in the Nordic countries and also in the Netherlands.🧀 Americans drink their coffee typically "on the go" because of their poor work/life balance. They are often too busy to sit down to actually enjoy their coffee as we Europeans do. ☕
I live where the tap water is really good and perhaps i've been spoiled by it, when I was a kid and visited a family member who lived in the south near Helsinki I almost refused to drink the tap water there because it had a weird aftertaste.
In Finland, you can't buy medicine from a grocery store because the people working there are not qualified or trained to give you information about medicine. You need to go to a pharmacy, so that the staff is actually knowledgable about the products they're selling and any possible risks or recommendations concerning them. You also can't buy a huge number of painkillers at once, they take that seriously in the pharmacy. Basically it's to make sure everything is sold and instructed to you by a professional who knows what they're talking about. It's a safety and regulation concern.
I think it is weird in some countries when you visit somebody's home you are not expected to take off your shoes and leave them in the hallway. After all there is no way of knowing if you have stepped on dog-shit before you enter inside somebody's home.
Coffee "refills" in practice means just one extra cup of coffee in the places that offer refill. It's not everywhere😊 and I agree with you Mauro about the Coke refills in US!!😂 it's difficult for me too to drink even the one mug of Coke at Hesburger😅
Same. Whenever I go to a Burger King, I never get a refill. It's a struggle to get through the first cup, which I already filled halfway with ice cubes
Yeah, you absolutely don't need a license for mushroom hunting for example, even in the city. Just today I took a bus to northern Helsinki and spent half a day picking mushrooms and enjoying birdsong.
#10 I live three kilometers from the center of Helsinki and I'm so happy that I don't have to travel too far to find a proper forest. Us Finns came out the woods very recently, so it's the love for forests is in our DNA. There is a forest just 500m next to me. I've seen deers, rabbits, foxes, hawks and badgebears in that forest. Suomi is such a cool (literally :D ) place to live. I love this place
Jade has some good points at her videos, but few of those things she said are just BS. She is a little confused :D I've lived here in Funland (Finland) almost all of my life, so I'm pretty sure that I understand this country better than her.
@@Spugedelia77 I live in Tampere, and we have forests, lakes, squirrels, rabbits, ducks and stuff. The problem is that they become so tame that they come inside your house. Because squirrels and ducks and even bats (we need Ozzy to take care of the bats) tend to come in. Squirrels come to the balcony and say tsk tsk (ie gimme some nuts).
A word of warning, the free coffee refills is not that big of thing anymore (it was super common up until the 00s, but started falling off around then) and usually at max one extra cup (unless it is buffet), but even then, always ask before taking more if the refill is included. Even some Starbucks-like cafeteria chains like Espresso house (pretty sure it was that) offer one refill on certain coffees. If it is self-served coffee from a pot or a dispenser, like how the regular black coffee is usually served, then the chances are much higher for free refill(s) 9:50 nope, you don't need any license for any berries or mushrooms in the forests. Fishing may and hunting always requires a license, depending on location, age and type. Professional fishing always requires a special license and where you can practice it is also very specific, and is not allowed in large scale in most fresh water areas in Finland. HOWEVER! you better make sure you know what you are picking up and how you need to prepare them if you go picking any mushrooms Also, the forests are very close and basically integrated to many cities. Even in Helsinki, it doesn't take long to reach forested area 17:00 Don't drink tap water in the US! they are still using LEAD-piping for drinking water in most of the country, even though they have been banned everywhere (installations of them might at least be banned in the US now, at least discouraged) since they are insanely unhealthy and can cause a massive amount of extremely serious health problems due to lead poisoning. That is why still water is such a big deal there, even though I'm pretty sure most don't know the original reason Funnily enough, bottled water is less pure than the tap water in Finland 😂
Hi Mauro, thank you for sharing..Silent is golden, good to speak only when have something to say 😄most of the houses have double doors in the corridor, that's great for many reasons ...Finnish buildings are great ..Forest is near to me too and I live in Helsinki ..Love that ❤ .Love everything in here ❤🇫🇮..we have small plastic bags in the shops "recycled " where to put fruits ect if you like .we have pharmacies in the shopping centres also near the food shops not problem to get medicine..Mauro, enjoy your day thanks😊 🇮🇹❤🇫🇮
@@mauronicolo89 Also, make sure it is a quality slicer. The diffefence between cheap bad ones that are dull and good ones that are and stay sharp is absolutely massive! Buying one from a great brand like Fiskars should be a safe bet, and they are only marginally more expensive, but will usually last a lifetime
6:55 - 7:35 Sorry for laughing but that's funny 😂 11:57 There are different kinds of cheese slicers, but I don't use mine with cheese really. I usually slice cucumber with it. Though, I once had to use it to peel few carrots too.. (I don't recommend it for that use. 😅) But that time I couldn't find my kuorimaveitsi = peeler, nor a knife so... 😂
@@rosmu1130 Absolute! they are amazing for slicing cucumbers as well, and is most likely one of the most common uses for them, especially now when people are trying to eat more and more healthier and cutting down on cheese and upping the use of veggies Mostly off topic. but one of the coolest things I adopted feom when stayed longterm in China, was how they serve cucumbers. In many place in China (e.g. Zhangjiajie), where we'd see ice cream stands in Finland, they had cucumber stands! First they'd use a slicer to peel 80% of the skin from the middle part, leaving just enough skin on the end for you to hold onto at both ends, then cut it in half for two ice cream cone like servings of cucumber. Then they'd hand it to you like an ice cream! This was such a brilliant way to enjoy the super refreshing, moisturizing and healthy cucumber on a scorching summer day when it was regularly +40°C and more that Summer
In most finnish cities, the forests are on the side of the road, in the middle of the city, in your backyard and just anywhere. Tap water is healthier than bottled water in finland since bacteria builds up in the bottle and its just tap water inside the bottle anyway.
Picking up a coffee from a drive-through on your way to work just does not make sense here. You would have your filter coffee with your breakfast at home before going anywhere, because many people just cannot function properly before getting the first coffee of the day, so leaving the house without it just feels so wrong. And then you could get coffee again at work a couple hours later. Taking a detour somewhere to just get a coffee to drink in your car while driving just sounds arduous.
Always wondered that cheeselicer thing.. 🤔🤔 I thought that is just normal In every fuking place all over the world😅 but no. And double Doors are for the keep cold weather out of Your house In wintertime..
The forests are usually VERY close. Only in the city centers of the very biggest cities you might have 3-5 kilometres between yourself and the nearest forest. And even then there is usually some small park with a lot of trees that's pretty close. If you're not in those city centers, there's probably a forest within 200 metres of you
When you paused the video in forest part, you culd see apartment buildings between trees, and it is very common to have these patches of wild forest in city, specially in the areas of city the most of the apartment buildings are. Like I live in 3rd floor 2 room apartment, 3 stories high building, there are like several dozen similar ones in 1 kilometre radius an forest starts like 4 metres from the building...
When I was a kid, growing up in the mid countryside here in Finland, teachers and parents and such gave us two lessons about mushrooms. Number one: learn to recognize all the poisonous mushrooms. Number two: pick up only the mushrooms you know. I feel there's a chance for a fatal error somewhere within those lessons, but can't quite put my finger on to it... 🤔
I think in europe, atleast here in Sweden, all workplaces has some sort of coffee machine. So I often come to work 15 minutes before my shift so I can take a coffee. We don't need drive through for just a coffee.
Finnish stand-up comedian Ismo Leikola has this joke about bottled water; it has circled the earth billions of years, and now it´s bottled and it has an expiration date! It´s ruined! :D
I live In small city about 24000 Peoples, 3km from center. From my property is about 5-10meters To forest To go for mushrooms, blueberries and lingonberries.
I live in Tampere and about 7km from central square and around 3km from central hospital. And i walk trough forest everyday(with good weather, othervice i take a bus) and thats on my walking home from work and i can choose if i go straight fast along the shitty roads with cars etc. It makes my walk about 2km longer and it takes 1 hour but man... that makes alot after a day at work. Only sounds you here is birds and maeby wind and with our 4 seasons the same route changes alot pretty fast. Yes, winters too if its not like -20c or lower.
5:55 the interior of houses can get absolutely hot like a sauna during summer because they are insulated for winter, the air is also moist meaning the air indoors feels awful in summer here
#7 there are also a lot of houses like old rintamamies talo. made of wood and the air conditioning is kinda build in the structures and layout. so if you carelessly put an AC in a house you might ruin your house by ruining the natural airflow and get mold etc. #11 in finland you have jokamiehen oikeus/every-mans right. you can pick anything. and poisonous mushrooms are taught in school like in kindergarten already. something you can not take are for example is new growth or leaves from trees like spruce tips. especially the hight/new growth from the top. #12 there is no bad weather, only bad clothing #23 Band aids and other regular stuff you find in grocery stores. but for meds you need to go to apteekki/apothecary but even then you dont need a prescription for the regular ones. prescriptions meds are behind the counter. i dont see it as an inconvenience because most large grocery stores have and apteekki in the same building.
The roaming rights apply to privately owned land too. She was wrong about that. Youre free to hike, forage, fish and camp in privately owned forests too. Just dont go in peoples actual yards or cultivated fields. You need license just for hunting, or fishing with nets and flyfishing, or what ever its called in English. When youre not using just plain old hook and worm.
Picking up the mushrooms in finland... There is this saying. Pick only the mushrooms you know. Tho that is a slight problem for me coz I know only the poisonous ones. 😅
One thing I find incredibly weird about North American driving, is the use of 4-way stop signs. I saw a few of them some years ago, and they just make you wonder why they're even there if every direction has a stop sign at an intersection. Who's supposed to go first?
The defills is actually thing how like buffet style places make lot of many, because people, specially kids, will drink lot of sweet drink, which is carbonated aka it fills you more than normal drink so most people will cost very little in average to fill up and soda drinks are cheaper than real food....
It's strange that the cheese slicer hasn't really caught on in the rest of Europe outside the Nordics and maybe Baltics, and possibly Germany, Neherlands and Poland. And yes, it's actually a Norwegian invention. If you have a block of cheese, why would you fiddle around with a knife if you can just make nice slices instead.
i like quiet but it aint always like that.... like once it was minus 20 celcius outside i was freezing and some old woman stopped me to talk about weather i was like i need to go but she just kept talking
people will use and buy more non prescription medication the more readily its available. even tho you dont need to go to the doctor to use them they still have negative effects, especially if used too much or along other medications. the act of simply having to go out of your way to get them reduces the usage and creates more "use with intent" mentality as theyre not average items to buy.
1. rush time theres some noise but its relatively quiet most of the time 2. why small talk when you can just talk... like no point in saying some shit about the weather cause we all know what it is or has been in the couple past days.. 3. sitting naked in a public swimming pools sauna and talking to a dude i have talked several times before..... don't even know which direction he turns as he walks out the place... (assuming left cause thats the parking lots direction) 4. if you are not freezing your ass off in the winter... then obviously you might be a bit more open to conversation outside than just hurrying in.... 5. i own 0 moonin products 6. vestibule.... also called "tuulikaappi" which means "wind closet"... in public buildings it just traps the air from moving directly between the outside and inside of the building saving heating costs and so on.... commonly used in homes as the place you have your shoes and outside clothes thus preventing the same outside air to directly into your home movement and it does wonders in preventing pets from escaping when you are coming or going and if you have done a shitty training on your dog well they cant get to chew your boots if they are all in another room from the dog.... 7. fireplace is very common if you have your own house... and you can just open the windows if it gets hot in the summer.... in many cases the machine is mostly pointless... but as someone who has experienced the summer heat going through poor insulation in the roof and heating a room so that its still like 35+ celcius way into the night... its a blessing... also in the winter they stop heating if the temperature goes cold enough... 8. if the slope in your flooring is done properly this is not needed and it anyways just makes the floor dry slightly faster and its only needed if you take a hot shower and the condensation get to the part of the floor where people use the toilet so they can go there with socks on without having them wet... 9. brand names only for quality stuff and sometimes for prestige of the brand... but personally the only times i care about brands is when its the same as good quality... like fiskars scissors or abloy locks and so on... 10. lots of green everywhere.. i got like 450m to the nearest forest and same to the nearest park... 700m to a store, 2km to the nearest lake, 2.5km to the trainstation and 22km to the center of the capital. so yeah forest is a good place to go walk your dog 11. yeah just dont pick anything directly next to the path cause dogs pee really close to the trails and especially near the edges of one... so pick like 10m off the path cause 99% of the dog walkers will not have let their dog loose so they should be piss free.... and yeah no license needed for picking for yourself 12. i prefer walking to the store during winter over driving cause it would require heating the car and so on... summer heat or rain and bad weather in general is the only thing stopping me from walking there more often 13. oh shit its 23:00 but its still bright outside... 14. its completely dark why are those little kids still out... oh wait its only 17:00...... 15. why would someone not have one of these? presliced cheeses taste off.... 16. even in elementary school we had options of milk, water and root beer.... 17. some do tip but they are idiots... we pay people working in restaurants..... they dont live off of tips 18. i think only burger king and Rax have soda refills but nothing else comes to mind.... 19. dont drink so havent paid atention to coffee refils 20. obviously you dont drive on red... because its what tells you to stop... 21. if its off you can be accused of stealing... also some places have minimum weight requirements as you could technically take a small potato and get it for free if the price is low enough per KG for the potato be like 2 cents and you are not buying anything else... 22. bottled water is sold almost exclusively like in 5L bottles and are meant to be used in places where you don't have access to drinking water... like some remote cabin or something... or in case of an contamination in the water lines or them being cut off for a set time because they are being replaced/maintained.... 23. theres a pharmacy attached to the building with a supermarket... if it doesnt have a pharmacy it was not a supermarket... but a regular grocery store... 24. its not like the stores dont sell you beer and stuff like that... alko is mainly for the harder stuff.... and goverment monopoly prevents people from selling it dirt cheap and so on.... 25.... go to a MCdonalds drive through if you want drive through coffee... but if you want those moccalattegrandiosa bullshit drinks... maybe its better that you dont get them so easily since they cost way too much for what they are and you should feel bad if you want to drink those.... also every single work place i have ever been in offers coffee to the employees for free....
Hey finnish Mauro fans. How about if we get some box of finnish products and stuff from here To Mauro? What about if Mauro opens own discord or something where we could talk To him etc? 😊
I know almost all my neighbours in my apartment house in Kokkola. There is 35 apartements in the building. I don´t know the "new commers" becouse i mostly live and work in Tampere. Here i know only one of my neighbours even that i have lived here over 6,5 years. But the difference is that this is rental apartment. Here in Tampere the closest forrest from my apartment is about 500 meters away. In Kokkola there is only 200 meters to forrest. Actually in Finland we can get coffee from drive trough, but those places are McDonalds, Burger King and Hesburger. Some smaler grill kiosks is that possibility too. I commented her video earlier and she replied @jadeventoniemi5795 replied: "@ArchieArpeggio thanks for also sharing these experiences! Great input 😊"

One thing I find incredibly weird about North American driving, is the use of 4-way stop signs. I saw a few of them some years ago, and they just make you wonder why they're even there if every direction has a stop sign at an intersection. Who's supposed to go first?
You can get plasters from normal shops lol. And yes you can get a coffee from drive-through like in Hesburger or McDonald's.This girl is funny. 😀
Whenever I go to the grocery store in Tampere, I always see squirrels or ducks or other animals.
There was even a bat recently inside a store. They were trying to catch it. They should have called Ozzy.
The defills is actually thing how like buffet style places make lot of many, because people, specially kids, will drink lot of sweet drink, which is carbonated aka it fills you more than normal drink so most people will cost very little in average to fill up and soda drinks are cheaper than real food....
no everyhing is free from forests... berries mushrooms etc.. and yeah we teach our young to avoid the poison mushrooms from early age :)
In Finland, Darwin teach witch mushroom is good or poisoned.
It's strange that the cheese slicer hasn't really caught on in the rest of Europe outside the Nordics and maybe Baltics, and possibly Germany, Neherlands and Poland. And yes, it's actually a Norwegian invention. If you have a block of cheese, why would you fiddle around with a knife if you can just make nice slices instead.
I live 10km from the city centre of Turku the road to my house doesn't have asphalt and we have forest everywhere we look from my house.
i like quiet but it aint always like that.... like once it was minus 20 celcius outside i was freezing and some old woman stopped me to talk about weather i was like i need to go but she just kept talking
people will use and buy more non prescription medication the more readily its available. even tho you dont need to go to the doctor to use them they still have negative effects, especially if used too much or along other medications. the act of simply having to go out of your way to get them reduces the usage and creates more "use with intent" mentality as theyre not average items to buy.
Finnish tap water is infact cleaner and better quality than any bottle water.
1. rush time theres some noise but its relatively quiet most of the time
2. why small talk when you can just talk... like no point in saying some shit about the weather cause we all know what it is or has been in the couple past days..
3. sitting naked in a public swimming pools sauna and talking to a dude i have talked several times before..... don't even know which direction he turns as he walks out the place... (assuming left cause thats the parking lots direction)
4. if you are not freezing your ass off in the winter... then obviously you might be a bit more open to conversation outside than just hurrying in....
5. i own 0 moonin products
6. vestibule.... also called "tuulikaappi" which means "wind closet"... in public buildings it just traps the air from moving directly between the outside and inside of the building saving heating costs and so on.... commonly used in homes as the place you have your shoes and outside clothes thus preventing the same outside air to directly into your home movement and it does wonders in preventing pets from escaping when you are coming or going and if you have done a shitty training on your dog well they cant get to chew your boots if they are all in another room from the dog....
7. fireplace is very common if you have your own house... and you can just open the windows if it gets hot in the summer.... in many cases the machine is mostly pointless... but as someone who has experienced the summer heat going through poor insulation in the roof and heating a room so that its still like 35+ celcius way into the night... its a blessing... also in the winter they stop heating if the temperature goes cold enough...
8. if the slope in your flooring is done properly this is not needed and it anyways just makes the floor dry slightly faster and its only needed if you take a hot shower and the condensation get to the part of the floor where people use the toilet so they can go there with socks on without having them wet...
9. brand names only for quality stuff and sometimes for prestige of the brand... but personally the only times i care about brands is when its the same as good quality... like fiskars scissors or abloy locks and so on...
10. lots of green everywhere.. i got like 450m to the nearest forest and same to the nearest park... 700m to a store, 2km to the nearest lake, 2.5km to the trainstation and 22km to the center of the capital. so yeah forest is a good place to go walk your dog
11. yeah just dont pick anything directly next to the path cause dogs pee really close to the trails and especially near the edges of one... so pick like 10m off the path cause 99% of the dog walkers will not have let their dog loose so they should be piss free.... and yeah no license needed for picking for yourself
12. i prefer walking to the store during winter over driving cause it would require heating the car and so on... summer heat or rain and bad weather in general is the only thing stopping me from walking there more often
13. oh shit its 23:00 but its still bright outside...
14. its completely dark why are those little kids still out... oh wait its only 17:00......
15. why would someone not have one of these? presliced cheeses taste off....
16. even in elementary school we had options of milk, water and root beer....
17. some do tip but they are idiots... we pay people working in restaurants..... they dont live off of tips
18. i think only burger king and Rax have soda refills but nothing else comes to mind....
19. dont drink so havent paid atention to coffee refils
20. obviously you dont drive on red... because its what tells you to stop...
21. if its off you can be accused of stealing... also some places have minimum weight requirements as you could technically take a small potato and get it for free if the price is low enough per KG for the potato be like 2 cents and you are not buying anything else...
22. bottled water is sold almost exclusively like in 5L bottles and are meant to be used in places where you don't have access to drinking water... like some remote cabin or something... or in case of an contamination in the water lines or them being cut off for a set time because they are being replaced/maintained....
23. theres a pharmacy attached to the building with a supermarket... if it doesnt have a pharmacy it was not a supermarket... but a regular grocery store...
24. its not like the stores dont sell you beer and stuff like that... alko is mainly for the harder stuff.... and goverment monopoly prevents people from selling it dirt cheap and so on....
25.... go to a MCdonalds drive through if you want drive through coffee... but if you want those moccalattegrandiosa bullshit drinks... maybe its better that you dont get them so easily since they cost way too much for what they are and you should feel bad if you want to drink those.... also every single work place i have ever been in offers coffee to the employees for free....
Funny😅
If there is red light you don't go anywhere.
11:20 hope you don't like sleeping
Finnish Showers are good for SEGS ;)
Hey finnish Mauro fans. How about if we get some box of finnish products and stuff from here To Mauro? What about if Mauro opens own discord or something where we could talk To him etc? 😊
Your doors in USA open inside? Wellcome.
Finland is the best country. If you don't like us Finns, stay away.
I know almost all my neighbours in my apartment house in Kokkola. There is 35 apartements in the building. I don´t know the "new commers" becouse i mostly live and work in Tampere. Here i know only one of my neighbours even that i have lived here over 6,5 years. But the difference is that this is rental apartment.
Here in Tampere the closest forrest from my apartment is about 500 meters away. In Kokkola there is only 200 meters to forrest.
Actually in Finland we can get coffee from drive trough, but those places are McDonalds, Burger King and Hesburger. Some smaler grill kiosks is that possibility too.
