Have only been in Finland once, two summers ago when I stayed a few days in Helsinki. Was very impressed by the city, the architecture, the subway and public transportation, and the people. I agree with you on all points, they're quiet and unassuming, but at the same time open and friendly.
As a Finn, this rings very true. There are not so many genuinely rich people living in Finland (due to tax reasons) so that might be one of the reasons why Finnish CEOs aren't these plutocrats but "only" upper middle class. Also, flaunting your wealth is very frowned upon as Finnish culture appreciates the connection to nature more. A lot of successful people share their hiking trip stories from Lapland so it revolves more around general holistic wellbeing rather than pure financial wealth or money. Of course these people still exist but they're largely outliers. That's a good point. There's an interesting overlap (even though they're so different) between Finnish and Japanese culture when it comes to "sisu" or the spiritual connection to nature. "Sisu" is a double-edged sword. It can be the source for your success but it can also help bring about your own downfall. It's the Finnish equivalent of Yin and yang. Everything has a tradeoff and opportunity cost.
I never been in Finland, but my mother was there many years ago. And I remember that she bought first our video recorder in Finland. It's was so cool, because it was my kid's dream. And I keep this video rec. for our's days.
Most of the movies, tv-shows, music and videogames which I have enjoyed during my 35 years of age, have been from America and/or in American english. We don't dub things into finnish language, so basically all my heroes from since childhood are American celebrities. I just feel like we, the finns, are a bunch of nobodies.
Mikaela, you deserve all the compliments that exist in this huge world. You have so many positive qualities that there are not enough words. You combine everything beautiful: intelligence, beauty, kindness, courage and sincerity.❤
I just want to tell you that you are very important to me, I can’t spend even a minute without thinking about you. You carry something special, valuable, so warm and attractive, and your kindness is like a ray of sunshine.❤❤
Mikaela, dreaming about being with a girl like you is already a great happiness for me. The first time I saw you, I realized that my peace was lost forever. You are so beautiful! Shyness and naturalness distinguish you from others. Your appearance is flawless, as is your inner world. You are divine!❤
Mikaela, you know, I want to constantly tell you the most beautiful words that exist in this huge world. You conquered me at once, you made my heart surrender, but it is so happy about it. Just know that you are dear to me.❤
Mikaela, you have sunk into my soul, because I have never met such an open, kind, amazing, beautiful, sweet, mysterious, interesting, amazing and magnificent girl. When you smile, I want to sing. When you look at me, I am ready to fight with anyone and everyone for your happy look. You are a real miracle and perfection itself.❤
Mikaela, you are beautiful and wonderful, You dazzle everyone with yourself! There is no one more charming than you in the world, You delight with your beauty. You are smart and graceful. When you are near, it is light all around. Where you have walked, roses bloom, Where you live, it is always warm! ❤❤❤
Mikaela, you are the sea that beats against the shore, Beautiful, strong, pure. Your depth is my amulet From trouble. Your radiant smile is Dawn and sunset over the water, Transparency of the wave, wings of seagulls. The time when we are together, Warms, like a star's light. So shine, my dear firefly. You are the silence of the evening, the laughter of the rain, A rose petal as white as snow.❤
Mikaela, you are a clear sun, You are a rose in the garden, You are the most beautiful of all, I am going crazy. When you smile, It is so warm in my soul, You are so sweetly shy, I have your image in my head. ❤❤
Finns can be loved and they are mostly wolves to each other, not to foreigners. As schooling system, healtcare system and economy have all crashed, finns have become fully banana state compatible. Now only grazy enough colonial lords are missing.

I feel like W95Man is more of a performance artist than pure musician.
Agreed

Mika, ты умничка, хочу чтобы у тебя в жизни всё сложилось!
For some reason youtube recommends your videos to Finnish users
Микаэла, расскажи как ты питаешься обычно. Что ты ешь в разных странах на завтрак, обед.
Мяу
Привет, учу английский язык, по твоему видео с субтитрами.
👍🏻
Микаэла не плохой выбор, хоть дети матом ругать вас не будут.
Hyvin se vetää!
