For anyone who speaks Finnish (even just a little), listening to the video's narrator absolutely butcher the pronunciation of Finnish words/places/names is like listening to fingernails down a blackboard...
En saanut puolestakaan selvää
Höne kietto = Hernekeitto...
Oh no 😂 I need to watch a video with proper pronunciation
I agree... I dun speak a single word of finnish, and even I hear how he butchers these pronounciations. lmao
not gonna lie, its funny and i appreciate the fact that dwayne puts effort to try to pronounce the words 😀
Finnish superpower to sit or be in absolute silence if we dont have anything to say and no one finds it awkward
That is a really valuable superpower. The superpower of people with "around the Ebro river catalan accent" is to speak constantly at the same time than everybody else keeping a constant rythm and volume when there is nothing to say. They look like birds.
Think our ability to stay silent is amazing - wait until you see and hear us speak while breathing inwards - as in, not stopping to breathe while we do speak.
Yup, I have a colleague who originates from Sweden but speaks fluent Finnish and he just can't stand the absolute silence our coffee-breaks or lunch-breaks sometimes have. He just HAS to talk all the time and I've come really close to just telling him to shut up.
In fact one thing got missed: Finland was a home for THE DEADLIEST SNIPER SHOOTER IN THE WHOLE WORLD HISTORY, Simo Häyhä aka The White Deaht. During Winter War, Nowember 1939 - March 1940, Häyhä made staggering 505 CONFIRMED KILLS IN 100 DAYS WITH SNIPING.
th-cam.com/video/1gj4EX2h_ms/w-d-xo.html
Also no-scoping I might add, because he didn't want the glare to give hint to his position.
Häyhä also did put some snow into his mouth to prevent any outbreath to reveal himself. Häyhä also prepared his shooting positions with snow to disguise the mouth flme of his riffle. He was exremely smart and being a farmer/logger and an experienced hunter he knew exatctly how to take advantage of landscape/geogpahhy.
The Worlds events have their effect on human lives. A humble family-oriented farmer from a Finnish coutryside became THE DEADLIEST SNIPER SHOOTER IN THE WHOLE WORLD HISTORY, when duty did call!
Thanks to Intrernet, we all have an easy accsess to a trumendous amount of litterature and videos about history to study. I recommend the newbeginners to chekck out things like Molotov-Ribbentrob -treaty. It is one of the keys to opening the basis of todays crisis in Ucraina. Slava Ucraina!!@@SigreGirl
Well no, about half of that were sniped, half with a Suomi submachine gun
@@RJiiFin No, The 505 confirmed kills truly are only from Simos rifle, Mozin Nagant M20/30.
If we count the kills with his SMG, Suomikonepistooli and handgranades, it's estimated he killed from 700 to 800 Soviet troops.
Kalsarikännit is real, just doing that 😂 Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮 and yeah, we are weird 🖤
Air guitar championships? Yes, this exists. There also exists heavymetal knittting championships
There also used to be a phone throwing championship, but it ended because modern smartphones can't withstand being thrown. The second championship race that was postponed was the sauna championship, which had to be stopped because the competitors in the sauna were close to dying from the over heat.
@@danielmalinen6337 Sauna championships were cancelled because a russian man did die. He used doping though i think.
Dont forget the mosquito swatting contest!😂
@@SK-nw4ig As fas as I remember he took painkillers and applied some kind of cream before going in, so basically he didn't feel enough pain when he got the burns.
Swamp football is a thing, tried it once, and was "dead" in minutes.
if you intend to come to finland from sweden there are boats that go from stockholm to helsinki. if youd rather try something else than flying. its quite popular way to travel between the 2 countries.
It's also a popular way to get drunk. Really drunk. Leave at 7/8pm, sail to sweden and back, go home hungover the next day around 7pm. Good alternative to a night out and going to bars (especially if you live in a city where the boats leave).
Definitely the "finland-boat" is the way to go, these are cruise ferries, some of the biggest in the world with a nice view of the archipelago of Stockholm as you are leaving Sweden and then Helsinki after breakfast as you wait for the de-boarding. There's restaurants, night clubs, casino, live shows, shopping, spa/sauna and more and you also get a good nights sleep and breakfast arriving fresh if you can avoid the hangover :)
Or you can also take the boat from stockholm to Turku. So land in either; Helsinki or Turku and travel by train to the other city for a few days and you can departure back to Stockholm from either city if you want to. The Cruise is definitely the way! That's such a finnish thing to do and basically the place where finns and swedes interact the best through good food and booze (if you take your kids, make sure to have someone babysit them so you can head out yo the cruise bars at night... that can't be missed 😂) I'll definately go with you on one! It's been a while 😂
1:46 Every Finn living outside of the capital/urban city area (or whatever they called it) gets triggered by the comment on -5C being cold. 😂
It's so cold you can't go out wearing only t-shirt and shorts. Damn summer is over...
When there are no exceptions, in Finland it is usually around -10°C to -30°C cold in winter and +10°C to +30°C degrees warm in summer. The weather in Finland is also hard to predict and very unstable weather due to the fact that Finland is located on the border of the Arctic, continental and Atlantic climate zones which is why the weather can change very quickly. Sometimes the Mediterranean climate also blows through Europe all the way to Finland in the summer, when Finland suffers from heat of over +30°C. Because of the weather, it is important to have enough clothes and shoes in the wardrobe for every weather and four seasons. But on the other hand, it's fun to watch when the meteorologist in the news weather report says that tomorrow it may rain, it may be sunny or it may be cloudy because everything is possible and we can't be sure. (therefore the rule of thumb used by the elderly to know the weather is usually to look out the window and that only tells you the current weather).
I would say that in southern Finland its 15 - 35c in summer and 0 - -30c in the winter
I am a Finn living in the West coast of Ireland.
I have to say, that compared to the weather here, Finland has very stable weather system which is easy to predict! LOL 🤣🤣🤣 You do not know what you are talking about when you say that weather is unpredictable in Finland!
INnthe southern parts, it's seldom -10 degrees in winter. The typical temperature is around zero, although there can be periods of much colder weather, From December to February the average in Helsinkin is about -2.
Finland has a stable weather, you haven't traveled obviously. We're located in the "temperate zone" lauhkea vyöhyke. I was in Mexico City last year and experienced the hardest rain I've ever seen, it was raining, lightning and thundering like crazy and 30 minutes later there were no clouds and it was 30°C warm.
Kalsarikännit is absolutely a real thing
The reason why the baby box is tied to low child deathrate is that to get that you have to enroll yourself to prenatal care. They started that after WWII as part of effort to lower the child deathrates in Finland. Back when they started to hand out those boxes it was income based but later it was decided that every baby had equal right to get on. To get one on today you still need to enroll to prenatal care. That is to make sure that the future parents will get right information and that the mom will have proper care while expecting. And that is why the child deathrates are low in Finland.
As a Finnish person I have never seen a pager. i don't know if anybody had them here. We just went straight from land lines to mobile phones.
My grandfather had pager back in the days when there was landlines still.
Their were used in business, doctors and so on....
Every single trader (fx, fixed income or equities) had a pager back in the days
You can tell that the narrator didn't even try to pronounce the Finnish words. I couldn't even tell what he was saying most of the time😅
I live in Vantaa, part of the capital metropolitan zone, and work in the very center of Helsinki, right next to the main railroad station. I don't have a car, I commute by bus and/or train. I have been able to do this for decades now, commuting to school, work etc. I generally only need a car for special purposes or longer trips.
The ability to control weather does help with the commute, though.
Oh and maybe it needs mentioning; Helsinki airport isn't actually located in Helsinki. It's located in Vantaa and there's transportation by various ways to Helsinki. Just worth mentioning if you plan on traveling ever.
2:00 Finns still go to work or school😂 there technically aren’t any limits in terms of temperature when working in cold or hot weather, but there are limits for how long you can work in those conditions 😅 I remember a story that my relative told(he was an electrician), he and his partner had to work outside for the whole day basically, problem was that temperature was something like -35C, well since Finns don’t cancel workdays because it’s too cold, they had a heater in the back of the van, both worked for 10 minutes then they would switch so that the other guy could go back to the van to warm up for a while,they kept this going for the entire day😅
Yeah you don't want your limbs to start turning a blueish-black cause of frostbite😅
The weird sports mentioned on the video are all true. Other weird sports in Finland are rubber boot throwing, holding beer pint with straight arm for longest and cast iron pan tennis where you play tennis with your own cast iron pan.
I love how eccentric all those sports are 😂
Do those rubber boots have to be Nokia boots? I think I heard that :D
@@surfsusan I think that it started with Nokia boots and that’s the tradition so it would probably be disrespectful to use any other brand 😂
i am from finland and it normal for it to be -20C in the winter when u leave for school or work and its normal to walk to school in finland pretty sure you need to be like 5km away form a school to get free transport if you do not have any conditions
Nice that they show the Danish flag to show where the Dutch couple is from.🤔
I haven't seen part 1, but they seem to have missed the "Heavy metal knitting championship". Check it out. It's something to see.
couple winters ago when I was leaving to work in morning, temperature was -31C and I live in southern part of Finland. It was nice and fresh :)
Nice and fresh 😱🥶
Nice to see your reactions to these facts. As a finn there were some that even I hadn't heard about. Nice video tho! If you do come to Finland don't just visit Helsinki, there are so many amazing places to go to. The nature in Finland is definetely something to experience! Welcome!
I think the coldest I've experienced here in Sweden was somewhere between -25 and -30 (Celsius of course). If you put on warm clothes you get used to the temperature after a couple of minutes!
That’s freezing 🥶. But I do think past a certain point you can’t tell the difference. I know I can’t tell the difference between 0 and ~5
@@dwaynesview I live in Finland and and I personally enjoy colder weather more. between 0 and -10 the air still has so much humidity that any wind might as well be a whip to the face (especially if you are close to the sea), but as the temperature goes down, it gets less humid and less windy. Also, the colder it gets, the clearer the sky. Only downside to the colder weathers is that your lips will get dry and crack if you don't have an air humidifier at home (lip balm works too).
What I find harder to cope with is the varying length of daylight during the year. I live quite south but our longest day during the summer is 19 hours and 30 minutes, and shortest is only 5 hours and 20 minutes. So during the winter it's still dark when you get up and leave to work (and will be for a few hours), and it's already dark when you get off. During the summer it's the other way around. I have a picture from last month where I was walking to the grocery store half past 10 in the evening, and the sun was still happily shining over the trees. And even though the sun does set if you are below the arctic circle, there is no place in Finland that experiences full darkness (astronomical twilight) between May and July.
So to get a full picture of the Nordic countries you really need to visit twice. Once during winter to experience the face biting cold, glittering snow and (hopefully) northern lights. And once during the summer when you can go to mökki, get drunk, go to sauna and swim in one of the thousands of lakes trough the night without ever needing an artificial light
-30C is when I put on my hoodie.
@@esaedvik Your 3rd or 4th hoodie?
About the temperatures, it changes a lot depending on where in Finland you are. Of course it gets colder the more North you are. But also an important thing to note: "dry cold" is different to "wet cold". And honestly, I rather prefer -10 to -15 C instead of -5 C. When the temperature gets closer to 0 degrees, it's usually also wet. And that wetness saps the warmth out of your body like nothing else. So it can actually feel "warmer" at -15 degrees when it's generally more dry. Sure it dries out your skin, and I have bleeding lips and knuckles every winter from cracked skin, but I rather wear more layers of clothes and handle colder weather than shiver in my boots because the wet air sucks the life out of me lol
Yes! Minus -5 Celsius in England is MUCH colder temperature than -10 Celsius in Finland. The humidity levels make a huge difference!
I am living in Ireland and it is much colder to live here in badly build houses (no insulation) than spend a winter in Finland. Finland is warm and cosy place!
Berlusconi pizza is like a modern day molotov cocktail lol
IRC, (internet relay chat), the predecessor of all instant messaging systems, was also invented in Finland, in late 1980's.
This is my personal opinion and I don't wanna piss anyone off... but Helsinki is a really busy city, that many of us from outside of Helsinki avoid during our holidays, or visit just a few days at a time. It's good for political and informational sightseeing like museums and some fun-having like restaurants, shopping centers, art galleries and a day at Linnanmäki (amusement park). Helsinki has some good things going on but it's at its best in small doses. I visit Helsinki like every five years.
yeah Helsinki is one of those places that you visit to go to Estonia or Helsinki-Vantaa airport. i wouldn't want to live there for any amount of money
Helsinki is not busy, far from it. It is the smallest of the four cities I have lived in. Two had more ihabitants than Finland.
Some of us have born there.......
Funny thing is, I'm going to be 18 very soon and have yet to be in Helsinki... ever!! And I lived in Lahti for 9 years as a kid before we moved further north, and now I live in Lahti again because of school. The closest I've been to Helsinki was when my sister took me to Ikea to get furniture..... I will be going there soon though with some friends. Hopefully, anyway.
I guess, if one finds Helsinki too busy, then its better to never travel outside of Finland, you might end up in a city that has more people than the whole Finland... I work here in customer service and one of the things that tourists say about Helsinki, is that it's so quiet. And if you get out of the city center, it becomes even more quiet, you can very easily find a countryside like scenery not very far from the center.
2:14 At that point air humidity is about zero. It doesn't feel bad, until it hurts (frost bites). And if you don't protect your lips - those will lost part of the skin if not protected. Not as deadly as it seems by numbers, but requires good clothes and multi layer clothing. Been up north on mid 90's and I had to go school due mandatory tests and waking up with -47'c on temp meter was a bit... 1.5km trip to school and after that couple of cups hot coffee...
-20 with higher air humidity it feels lot more worst...
I was only a small child when I experienced -50 weather as I walked to school in Ivalo, only to find out it was closed due to weather. But I remember my eyes leaking water constantly while outside, as my eyes pushed more and more bodyheat moisture out to avoid freezing. It instantly froze on my cheeks and I got a bad frostbite under my eyes and all over my cheeks
Mobile phone throwing competition was invented back when we made those famous Nokia phones. People were more interested in knowing the capabilities of phones as thrown weapons than concerned about breaking them.
Good reaction thanks, its always good to see people react fackts of Finland
The reason why pesäpallo is the way it is, is because it was (if I remember correctly) conceived as a way to train soldiers. In the game you learn to quickly pick up and throw the ball far and accurately, which would also mean you can do it with grenades. You learn to hit the ball with the bat accurately and hard (and it's still taught that you should hit the ball when it's on you eye-level), which would mean you could easily bash someone's skull in with the wrong end of your rifle. As you ran to bases, you were required to throw yourself to the ground like you were running to the trenches to cover from bombings. Also you had to run fast. Similarly war-tied sport is ski-and-shoot (I don't know it's name, it's 3AM I'm tired ok)
Ampumahiihto
Coffee is called Kahvi in Finnish
If you ever come Finland don't expect too know what you will see. These facts are true but you should be long time in Finland to see even fraction of that. Sauna is still best
14:12 We also happen to throw boots. It's a lot easier and popular, since they don't break.
Ant hill sitting is usually done by guys to prove that they are a Real Man, or when they get into an argument about which one of them is the Most Manly Man. As a woman I wouldn't know how the winner is determined, and since the whole endeavor usually involves lots of alcohol, I don't know if they know either. Theoretically, the one who can sit there the longest is the winner.
Kalsarikännit (drinking alone at home in your underwear) is definitely a real thing. Reminds me of how some guy once wrote in Facebook that he'd like to order a pizza, but he won't, because he'd need to put his pants on when the pizza delivery guy comes, and that's just too much trouble. I think pretty much everyone here can identify with that sentiment.
Disc golf is the most liked sport among childrens in Finland. We also have second most courses per capita
Proud native of the Åland Islands here. I am super proud of Finland and I find myself extremely fortunate to have been born in this incredible country! I would absolutely not want to live anywhere else. Of course, no country is perfect, every single one has its flaws, but for me personally, I really do believe that this is the best country in the world for me to live in!
You need to visit Turku, Finland too. It has a totally different feel to it and is such a beautiful city. Especially during summers. It's only about 1,5 hours from Helsinki by train. Turku is the old capital of Finland, before Helsinki came the capital and the oldest city in Finland (if you ever get there, check out Åboa vetus museum. It's build around the oldest known ruins of a city in Finland) ❤
Yeah, those pictures seem to be mostly random photos from the internet. The image at 8:01 looks like it might be from a school or the military, though the pea soup in it looks a bit suspect.
There are also "bucket-sneaking" championships. You have to carry two 10 liter bucets of water trough obstacle course and try not to spill water.
we also have lactose free milk, those who cannot drink normal milk...
And the narrator of the video failed to mention, that in the world scale, 17% is VERY low number of lactose intolerant people.
In finland cold temperatures are like the norm. It's very surprising to me that the coldest in england you've experienced is -6. For us during january and february that's warm. -10 is pretty normal and the coldest days will be around -20 down to -30. Coldest I can remember experiencing was around -35.
The humidity in the air makes England's low -6 Celsius much much worse than Finnish temperatures. It is seriously cold! 😱
If you return a bottle to the shop you bought it from (or others) (recycle) you get money. Yes. Not much, but enough.
I think the system is more like that you get some of the money you paid back. You pay for the can/bottle that the drink comes in (about 20 cents, depending on the bottle type and size), and then get that money back when you return the bottle to a recycling machine. It's a really effective system. Such an effective system that there's always multiple people gathering bottles and cans during events like music festivals and such.
Well, we do have the indestructible nokia phones, those could definitely be used for the mobile phone throwing competition
Salmiakki is often referred as salty liquorice but it is not really liquorice at all. It is actually ammoniumcloride thou that hardly makes it sound any better ;)
Salmiakki as a flavoring is usually added to licorice, and it is a type of salt, hence "salted licorice".
Or in other words, salmiakki (salted licorice) means a different thing than salmiakki (ammonium chloride).
Bad thing about south of finland in the winter is the sea. Under -10 is not enough to freeze the sea or dry the air out and the weather will be very humid. And -5 in humid weather is bad. the cold will creep into your bones and spirits 😂😅
Fika in Finland:
Kahvi (Coffee)
Kahvia? (Coffee?)
Kuppi or Kupponen or Kupillinen [A cup (of coffee)]
Most of the time it is so presumed that you don't even need to say coffee, just ask Juotko sinä / Otatko sinä / Entä sinä (will you drink / will you have any / what about you), and if someone takes anything else, they will ask if you have tee.
last two winters in western Finland we got -20-30c,usually in night or eraly mornings are the coldest times
im from Finland and talking about the temperatures are so funny. I will never forget when in 6th grade I was walking to school 7am in the morning at -32c lol. I dont even live in lapland I live near helsinki
You should go to Tallinn, Estonia as well when you travel to Helsinki. It is only a two hour inexpensive ferry ride with frequent connections
The coldest i have experienced in south Finland was minus 27 degrees. In Sweden i experienced minus 32 degrees. Quickly getting from the car to the Sauna. Brrrrr
1:44 That's quite warm for a winter weather.
Finnish babies take naps out side in the winter time even in -10 celisius
Finnish babies are definitely built different. Super babies lol 😂
But don’t babies get sick like an ammonia
You asked "who's making up these games?"
Well i have to say that maybe one reason for Finland being happiest country in the world is these silly competitions we create.
The reason we buy peasoup most in mondays statistically is that we use all our money in the weekend and try to compensate.... Actually most of us eat it 10 to 20 times a year, some do 1-2 times a week. It´s really good actually! Especially as a light lunch. And easy to make when you buy it in a can. And almost free. A tradition is to add some mustard and stir, it makes it better, believe me.
A lot of this has to do with finnish mentality and their sense of humour.
It is sort of like medieval continental european humour but wackier and a bit spartan.
Swamp football is indeed real! Finland is Suomi in our language, it means suo maa, swamp land! So welcome to Finland
next summer and watch swamp football 😂 with milloin of mosquitos and lot of booze😊
I live in Turku, the oldest city of Finland and the best here is The Medieval Market every year (on July). There is art, actors on the streets dressed as medieval people, horse tournaments, lots of medieval food, weapons, crafts and jewelry. It lasts 4 days. We have Turku Castle here and Turku Cathedral (from the 1300s). Turku is not as big as Helsinki, instead it is old and beautiful and full of stories...Of course we have lakes and forests (hiking!camping!), too, and SAUNA ❤ These videos of yours have inspired ME 😆 I am so proud of being Finnish: a little bit crazy, but with a strong will of a Warrior - like Vikings ⚒️ Welcome to Finland! 🇫🇮
The differences in temperature tolerance never cease to amaze me. I am watching this in Lapland, and it's currently -15 degrees outside, and I just went to get some firewood with a T-shirt on. Yeah it was cold, but a few minutes outside like that is perfectly tolerable. Thinking that for someone -5 is extreme is just funny to me. I am not hating or anything of course, if I went to a warm country I would probably die the instant the +30 heat hit me. It's just a very interesting to think about.
Make sure to take the ferry when travelling between Stockhom and Helsinki (or Turku and Stockholm).
I'm sad the video didn't mention the sauna competitions.
They were ended after a Russian man died during one of them
About communication, both old IRC (Internet Relay Chat) and SMS witch was referred to in the video) was invented in Finland. Also SSH that probably every server admin uses/knows.
Mobile phone throwing competition may be invented becouse at history Nokia made rubber boots and some farm boys in old days have rubber boot throwing competetions.
Nokia made rubber boots? I didn’t know that.
As a Finn I think Helsinki is really overrated because almost nobody who come to Finland never go somewhere else to live or visit
That’s how we feel about London, everyone always visits London and then misses the rest of the UK. So I completely get it haha
The coldest temperature I've experienced was -33°C a few years back but around -30°C happens usually every other winter.
The coldest I remember was somewhere close to -40°C, maybe around -35°C? Still had to go to school that day. 😂
@@SeveralGnomes that's really cold but yeah doesn't matter how cold it is you still have to go to school😂 didn't matter how much snow there was either
I'm a bit annoyed that they don't show real imagery and videos from Finland for some of the more important/serious facts in these videos, it skews the viewer's interpretation.
Yeah I definitely need to watch a video where it shows better imagery. Also with someone who’s actually Finnish.
@@dwaynesviewI like the geography now video about Finland more, but it's 6 years old
-50°C does not feel particularly cold when the air is much drier and there is usually no wind, -5°C often feels colder when the air is much more humid and often still windy.
The honesty is true. I once left my wallet on the roof of my car while putting gas in my car. So it flew god knows where. I had no idea it even disappearing, when i got a text message telling me where from to get it, as i hadn't noticed the guy behind me vawing and shouting to me whilst leaving the gas station. He had been doing some serious detective work, as all my info was hidden. So he had found the info of my company and contacted me via that route. ❤
-6°C lol. I actually thought Northern England and Scotland would be much colder.
-10 is the minimum limit where I consider it to be "cold". Otherwise it's just chilly. Technically the weather can get better when it gets colder, because that usually means clear skies. -15 or more usually means good piles of snow, blue sky and the sun shining (and by god we need that little bit of sun).
I didn’t know we had mobile phone throwing championships. But I remember un-knowingly practicing this sport in school when throwing my Nokia full force down the football field.(phone never broke btw😂😂)
I'm from Finland and I have cycled to school when it was -24 degrees celsius. But I have to addmit that it felt very cold, even tough I am Finn.
some of us like to go ice hole swimming in some of those many lakes, then there are roads made in some of the lakes or rivers or sea to make a shorter way in winter to drive, we have a conscription, and those who choose to serve in the military will stay in reserve until they are 50 or 60 years old.
24:23: Yeah it was good idea, but they forgot that Reindeers DROPS THEIR HORNS AT WINTER. That is when the accidents happen, not in spring and summer when they have the horns
28:11: Yes, like we invented the nokia phone, xylitol, the dish rag, mikrowave cover. I think the last 2 aren's in other countries tho(the the dish rag and mikrowave cover
We go to Estonia by ferry.. It is only about 60-80km between Helsinki and Tallinna.
Mosquito slapping championships are also a thing
as someone who lives in the capital area aka (Espoo, vantaa, helsinki) i have no interest in ever even getting a drivers license. i just use the public transport to get to every where i need to go to. sure it takes longer but i can wait 20 more minutes. also many of the busses are starting to become electric. i was just in one yesterday.
The UK has really mild climates. In Spain, -5°C can happen in a winter morning right by the mediterranean. But in colder parts of the country they are probably at -15°C for some time every year. I was surprised to see plants like olive trees outdoors in Scotland having an acceptable, not frozen appearance.
I also really wanna go to Helsinki. I am not a TH-camr but I will be documenting the whole thing in my own way lol thousands of photos 😅
Absolutely I bet it’s really picturesque, I can’t wait to go too.
Minus six degrees celsius is considered a warm day even in the most southern parts in Finland. :D
i live in Finland and have never heard or seen anybody playing swamp football :D
actually the only weird sport i have heard of is the wife carrying contest
Suopotkupallon MM kisat järjestetään joka kesä Hyrynsalmella Kainuussa
You know I live in North here so winter is like - 20 celius for months, I love cold and winter ❤
15:53 Interesting. Never even heard of this, even though I have lived my whole life in Finland.
I think Duudsonit did it once and I found out about it, but yea it's real
You have to try smoked salmon in Finland
it has been -30 celsius in finland where i live for almost 3 weeks. its not even that cold tho. and were still walking to school like its normal temperature.
An army friend of mine who is from Lapland and told me that he noticed the record temperature when tried to piss outdoors. Nothing happened and he started to feel a bit chilly. Fucking hell, he said when checked the thermometer.
Ring seal in one lake yes but the lake is huge... And lately have had good ice condition winters so almost double population now
-6? that's warm. You can still wear shorts outside in that weather. :D
Fun fact, salmiakki aka salty liqourice is not even close to just liqourice, the english name is misleading. Liqourice is from a plant while salmiakki gets its main flavour from ammonium chloride.
In my opinion there can be bad liqouroce but no bad salmiakki😂.
Also those painted reindeer antlers are not a (big) thing. I lived in the north for 14 years and have never seen one
The coldest weather I've witnessed was -30°c and I'm 12 yrs old! Also I speak English almost fluently...and my Florida cousins that are 18 and 19 told me that the last time they were here,so..
i laft so hard when Dwayne said that in london its getting cold when there is -6 degrees meanwhile in here finnland usually in winter it gets between -10 to -20 degrees
Adding to that tech part, the first internet browser was created in Finland by some students 🤭
The Finns are a very practical, exact no nonsense people that gets very angry at nonsense or invasions from the east.
