It’s great to see some things about Finland 🇫🇮💕 much love
Much love to you too! 🥰
Loved this culture shock, was not at all aware of this feature in Finland. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. Take Care and God Bless you and your wonderful family. Was this video recent or an old one?
This is my new and latest video but some clips are from our Finland trip a year ago :) happy to hear you enjoyed it! :)
Knowledgeable as well as strange facts about Finland...😍👌🏻
Nice to know you liked my video :D
Very nice information 👌👍
Loved this video 💜
Much love to you from India 🤗✨🌺🌴🌙
Haha, loved this video! 😄😄😄✨🌹
Thanks so much for the love! 🤗✨🦄
I did not know about the personal space and respecting of privacy part. That was really interesting to learn!
Yeah it's a big thing in Finland, most of us have no clue even what our neighbors names are and we barely even say hi to them 😅 here in India I know and greet everyone in our surroundings 😋
One of your best videos♥️
oh thank you! That just totally made my day :) lots of love from all of us!
Wao i think i should definitely visit Finland. I will i must i love to.......
The games are interesting. 😁 And I can't imagine not smiling at anyone.
Yeah now even in Finland I do smile at everyone 😅🤩
Great to revisit our experience of Finland through your video. Glad that I did get chance to visit Finland before lockdown in 2020. Most of my Indian friends do not like but I loved Salmiakki 😀
That's amazing! So strange to hear a foreigner actually likes salmiakki 🤩
One of your best video, loved it ....
Thank you! 🤗✨🌙🌺🌴 Would you like to see more videos about Finland? :)
I live in Germany. I liked this video because it gives good /quick information to Indians (in this case)...
Cultural difference n acceptance...
Am excited too see about finland!🤩🤩😊👍
awesome! Did you like the video? :D
@@anniinavivian indeed I liked it! It was very informative! 😊👍
@@mech3694 goody :D :)
Interesting!!
Glad you think so! :)
those hippo cups...so cute..i want them!.
Nice to know about Finland 😊😊
Happy to hear that 😄✨😊🦋🌺
How interesting awesome share thanks ❤️ still can’t believe sauna in a Burger King 😂
Thanks, glad to hear you liked it. Even I just came to know about the crazy Burger King sauna 😅
I visited Finland a while ago, when i was doing some work for Elisa Telco.
Being a Mallu, though i appreciate the amazing development of the country, it felt very depressing because people don't talk or smile. I felt everyone to be very lonely. Especially if you are from Kerala where there is no concept of private space 😀. I understood it was just a cultural difference.
I ate some grilled Salmon with some light herbs from the Street. If you ever know the name of it, please let me know. It was delicious.
I love those moomin cups, too cute.
Me too, I brought 5 of them with me when I moved to India 🤗✨🌸😄
That's cool 👍
Thanks so much 🌸🦋✨😄
Enjoyed the video!🤩🤩😊👍 thanks for showing us about the finnish culture! 🤩😊👍👍 I have few doubts, is the blood pancakes basically of cranberries? And are there any specific place where I can order and explore Finnish foods in India?🤩🤩🤤🤤
the blood pancakes are made with wheat and pigs blood :P they are usually served with cranberries! Don't really know if one can order Finnish foods anywhere here...
@@anniinavivian I thought it was called blood cause it was made of cranberries 😅😅🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
its interesting how finnish people feel comfortable around people inside a sauna but not comfortable enough to stand close at bus stands. 🤔
anyway ❤️ from kerala
for Finns, a sauna is like a church there discusses all the things that cause worry and stress in relaxing sauna heat and humidity but people respect everyone's personal space at the bus stop, of course, depending on the location, people can be quite close at the bus stop as well
Men holding hands is considered gay in America but in Locker they are comfortable being naked and have small talk, yes naked !
As you said Finnish personal space and the serious lady, I now understand why Aki Kaurismaki portrays that kind of atmosphere in some of his movies. Such a wonderful screen writer and director. I am a Mallu who watched almost all of his movies . Nice to know you
Oh my goodness, I've managed to watch half of one of his movies only :D that's amazing, I'm so surprised right now :D
ബ്രോ ഇവിടെ ഇത്രേം മലയാളികൾ എങ്ങനെ വന്നു??? ഇവർ കേരളത്തിൽ വന്നിട്ടുണ്ടോ???
@@anniinavivian 😊
@@anniinavivian Please watch his most criticality acclaimed movie “The man without a past “.
Such a nice video
Thank you :)
Finland is sooooo beautiful! ❤️😍
Yes indeed 🤗✨🌙🌺🌴
5 Weird FACTS about Finnish Culture... personal space, smile were on the TOP..
Finally heard Vivian speaking
Yeah 🤩
Best vlogger ❤
aww, thanks! That's so kind of you! :)
@@anniinavivian welcome ❤😇
Super
Happy to know you liked the video! :)
Why is the main channel inactive?
Maybe I missed out on an update..
The weirdest one for me is wife carrying race. Imagine my husband carrying me a 300+ pound woman and winning 300pounds of beer!!
Haha yes, and I soooo want to try this sport next time we are there 😄🌸✨
I like this race game but I would love to face my mouth on the opposite side in the contact of my ( pretend if I have a wife) wife's......... 🤣
nice
Thanks so much 🤗✨🦋
Nice
Kiitos 🙂😋
Where is our mallu squad???🙂🙂🙂
❤️ you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the love 🤗✨🌴🌙
Moi moi. So my mum worked as a exchange student coordinator in Nepal for DIAK University for like 10 years. I grew up with Finnish people in the house and I can totally relate to this video tho I haven’t visited Finland. We have about 15 Moomin cups in the house (I grew up watching Moomin which was translated to Nepali), Moomin trays, Cute Moomin tees, Marimekko tissues and trays, the amaazzinggg Fazer chocolates and eating Salmiakki which I loveee. I even learned tuiki tuiki tahtonen and Paa Olkapaa. 💕Much love!
Oh my goodness, this just made my morning! How cool that you have so many moomin things at home 🤩 haha, I miss salmiakki and Fazer chocolate here every minute 😅🌴✨✨
And much love to you too!
@@anniinavivian ayyy you replied 😄 have been following you since my college days in Bangalore. Love your content and seeing lil Ava grow ❤️
@@jessica_pradhan that's amazing! Ava is growing too fast if you ask me :D much love from all of us!
I can't imagine myself not smiling anyone on way coming from work. I think I will get depression. But I understand the culture.
Yeah I smile at people all the time even in Finland 😅 people think it's weird over there
🤩🤩😊
😀✨😊
I used to watch moomins as a child in the UK! 😍
yeiii!!! I'm so happy to hear that! You mean you had them in the TV there?? :)
@@anniinavivian yeah! I used to watch it after school on TV! Those were the best days! 😍 Also, my first phone was Nokia (the pic you showed)....😅
Lots of love x
@@shel_shel ahh, yes the famous, simple and evergreen Nokia phones, Moomins in TV...those were the days! :D
Nice video! I remember being completely repulsed by blood pancakes and blood sausages even as a child, ended up going vegetarian and eventually becoming vegan and I had completely forgotten about these "delicacies" 🤢 I much prefer spinach pancakes, those are pretty unique to Finland too!
oh yes!!! Pinaattiletut is the best food ever :D but I used to like the blood pancakes too as a kid haha.
@@anniinavivian does Ava asks to try non-veg food when Vivian eat?
Finland food looks like breakfast or snack food
😀😍👍
Thanks for the love! 😊🦋✨
Why are u changing your channel names
Finland is beautiful ❤❤
For sure it is! :)
🌹🌹🌹
🤗✨🌺🌙🌴
🙏👌❤️
🤗✨🌙🌴🌺
Uk equivalent to blood pancakes is black pudding which is made of pigs blood and a type of sausage
Yes I have heard of this black pudding 🙂
I'm from the USA. I live in Pennsylvania right now but I'm originally from Ohio. We do the sauna here as well and jump in the snow too! Plus the jacuzzi is a popular thing to do and jump into the snow.! The snow is finally about to melt I'm excited I'm over the snow and cold. Tomorrow it's finally going to be 52° I'm sooooooo ready for spring.! Nothing in Finland seemed weird to me! 💜
So amazing that you guys have snow there, you are keen to get rid of it and I miss it so much!! :D haven't seen or felt snow in 6 years now! I think next time we go to Finland it has to be winter time..though I don't miss the cold! Here we have 32 celcius daily
@@anniinavivian Wow yes I've been here going on 39yrs I'm over it lol. And actually the only real reason is cuz we live in the mountains on a hill and it's very difficult to get up and down the hills in my car. But we finally got my truck fixed and back so it's not as bad. It's literally like an ice skating rink outside of my camper.. lol. Snow and rain and freezing temperatures don't mix very well. Disaster sometimes.
@@angelawalker2167 52°C???
Are you living in Death Valley lol
@@humblewiz4953 fahrenheit lol
Interesting video (said by a Finn, so it tells a lot!) :D The Finnish culture can seem crazy but it's just a matter of trying to understand it more ;) The most seeriously hilarious and informative book I can suggest for those interested in the Finnish culture (and even for Finns as well, like me) is called "Spaghetti and Sauna" - I couldn't reccommend it more :D
Terve! Cool, this is the first time I'm hearing about this book, I will surely check it out! Have you read the: How To Marry A Finnish Girl book? I have heard its funny and informative about the Finnish culture :)
@Anniina Vivian Moro! :) I did red the one you mentioned, though it's not as accurate and as hilarious - so far the best I found is Spaghetti&Sauna. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did - it made me see and appreciate our culture from a different perpective (and it was great to get a good laugh as well). It's just a pity that it's only as an ebook :( Keep up the amazing videos! I'd LOVE to watch some videos with some suggestions on how to become a youtuber/live a creative life/go for your dreams in business.
Okay now I get it...lots of houses in Thrissur, Kerala are building saunas into their baths....LOL
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
🤗✨🌙🌴🌺
What ingredient makes blood pancakes dark?
the blood :) usually pig's blood
@@anniinavivian, argh! Disgusting 😝😝.
I think Finland is a best option for me😂
You forgot to mention clash of clans 😍😍😍
You're right!!! 😅✨🌙🌿🌺
How tall is your man..? He lools so tall for an Indian guy..
Kiva video. Moro Tampereelta.
Moikka vaan Tampereelle! 😅✨🌙🌴
WOW. The Finnish video!
I just wonder, whether the "blood pancakes" have roots to the "Vikings" heritage. YAY!
haven't research that but I do know its a very old tradition! :D
@@anniinavivian "Very old" takes it to the Vikings!
Hey, from now on I will remember you as a Shield-maiden whom I lived to see! :D
P.S. In the Vikings TV show Lagertha was my favorite character. You must watch it!
@@levwii I love Lagertha too!! And the Vikings! And I've actually met one of the actors who is Finnish btw, don't remember his name in the show but his real name is Peter Franzen :)
@@anniinavivian That's what I was talking about: Bring it out bro, bring out - The Viking in you! :D
You may share anything about Finland in the future and compare it with India; people would appreciate them. You don't have to hold back.
P.S. WOW! You met that guy? His name is King Harald !
P.S.S. I wonder; do you feel better living in a warmer place like Kerala or a colder place?
in the good old days when it was time to slaughter an animal
so everything that was possible from the animal was utilized, the blood had to be utilized moderately warm otherwise it clotted so it was used to make sausages and pancakes
6:42 😳 mobile phone throwing .
yes indeed :D
@@anniinavivian india should have slipper throwing as a competition 😂😜
@@shyam12388 HAHAHAHA yes!! :D
Take part in that wife carrying competition with your husband 😂
Haha, I would LOVE that 😅
@@anniinavivian But he looks so shy I doubt he will do that and he also looks little bit weak 😂😂
What about salty liquorice?
Yes! It's called salmiakki and all the Finns loooove it! 🤩
@@anniinavivian I do too!! my favourite sweet!
@@ginashiel105 whaaaat, that's awesome, usually non Finns hate it :D
@@anniinavivian My Danish DIL orders it & shares it with me!!
@@ginashiel105 wonderful! :)
Mosquito catching competion. Thats most interesting.
yeah and its super chill for a sport :D
Isn't too cold for mosquitoes? 🤔
Are there any Finnish vegetarian food that you could suggest?
Wait a minute. Angry bird is Finnish?! Now that's a culture shock to me
@@punithanthevar5669 yes! Angry birds are Finnish 🤩✨
start smile fins
is finland expensive?
well that's a super relative question :D
Ha ha
നൈസ്ആ...
I want to study finland
Can you give informations plzzzz ❤️
Hey :) I recommend checking out a YT channel called: Road To Finnish, he has tons of info about that topic
@@anniinavivian oh thank you
I love finland❤️
Is there any courses without ielts 🙄
Also heard that finns are good at racing/driving. 🏎
for sure, just ask Mika Häkkinen or Kimi Räikkönen :D
@@anniinavivian also about the drinking habits 😅. Drink way too much i think !
I think Swedes consume the most coffee.. :)
No they do not. You can google it.
@@blackcoffeebeans6100 There is FIKA tradition in sweden.
But what if the wife falls down and break her head? 🤷♂🤷♂
Also, idk why but
Helsinki reminds me of "Money Heist" character lol
I love ur culture unlike India dey giv personal space to each other., ❤frm kerala
Yeah and this caused a huge shock for me here, the lack of any personal space 😅
I didn't get the personal space concept of Finland properly. Here in India, it is an outright introvert behaviour. Is it because Finnish tend to be introverts or really respecting personal space. Or it just a generalized statement?
This culture is prevalent in all the western countries my friend but way too much in Nordic countries ( 🇫🇮 🇸🇪 🇩🇰 🇳🇴)
