This is my reaction to 49 Strange Differences This American Noticed about Finland
In this video I react to Finnish culture and Finnish culture shocks by looking at differences between Finland and America.
Original Video - • 49 Strange Differences...
Ladder!? 😂 it's a design drying rack
Shame he didn't know what it is, he would have been amazed by the warm and dry towels.
😂😂
I find it weird how many US Americans don't recognize that many words are spelled differently in British English, or that they use completely different words. In Europe we usually learn British English in schools, hence "sledge".
What, doesn't everybody have loops on their towels? How do you hang up your towels, or do you just have them lying around? And since you didn't recognize the "ladder" in the bathroom, I assume you don't have that kind of thing to hang your towels on either. Many bathrooms have these heated "ladders" on the wall, so you can hang your towel (or clothes) to dry there.
Heated bathroom floors are of course comfortable, but I would say the main function is to keep the bathroom dry and prevent water damage.
wait... you other countries don't have the loop on your towels?? That's so weird to me, I never realized.
Wtf, this was grazy. NO LOOPS? What
@@penaarja too complicated machine.
It's like the holes in duvet covers. Most places outside of the Nordic countries don't have them. Ikea used to get complaints about them...
@@henriikkak2091 i think that it was Finlayson.
Wtf? How you hang your towels?
Almost every home has a pillupuhelin. Yeaah, I'l leave checking the translation for the reader.
Shall we just call them butt phones
@@henriikkak2091no. We will use the official name like op commented 😤
Finland is a self-service culture. You help yourself more often than not. A lot of effort goes into the design of public spaces to make it as convenient as possible, however.
Fire escape ladders -which are mandatory in 2+story houses - are low enough to jump down when necessary, but high enough to keep kids from climbing.
Best reindeer dish is a dish called Poronkäristys. Its like sautéed reindeer whit mash potatoes. Thats just my opinion though.
inner loin of a reindeer is even better
The video should have been called "49 Strange Things in Finnish HOTELS" 😄
I have lived in Finland my whole life and a large portion of these things were completely new to me, because I don't stay in hotels.
? What was New To you? Dont get it
None of these were new to me, I think it is more about location and lifestyle
yea every house has the batroom thing
The shower next to the toilet is a bidet shower. The pople on the street are not recruiters but asking for donations for different nonprofit foundations and organizations. Of course they have to have licences and permits for that. They don’t get paid, it’s just voluntary work.
Theyre not recruiters, theyre facers, or what are they called in English... For like WWF or energy companies, mobile operators e&.
And no they werent traditional, I guess just some Samba thing.
Da Capo is rum flavored, as they were wondering.
And Ive only seen those cell phone toilets in trainstations.
And yes the shower is a stable here, usually known as, um "pillupuhelin" or "pussy phone". Has better rhythm said in Finnish.
Aand I had more comments, but already forgot 😅 Others may add more...
8:04 The ladder in the bathroom must have been a towel drying rack
Ladder, fk 🤣🤣🤣
Onother day i was in bus here in Finnland. Only guy who made noise was from middle east. I was very un happy.
Bidet is a common part of the Finnish house design. The little shower head is useful for "washing your backside, right?" (to quote Crocodile Dundee). Realistically water is also so much more ecological way of cleaning yourself over toilet paper. Sometimes I use the hose to wash myself and then use toilet paper to dry my bottocks.
Most of the people on the streets are not recruiting but asking about your internet or about news papers.
In my experiences the face to face workers on the streets usually offer deals from electricity or insurance companies.
15:36 the sign is not to mark the door as an exit route. It's to mark the thumbturn as the mechanism for unlocking the door.
And its mandatory at public toilets and hotel rooms. Needed in case of fire and when you are out of normal environment where you usually live - panic might make you forget basic stuff like how to open door lock that is different than at home
Karaoke is huge in Finland! We always sing when drunk.
and yes the ladders outside houses are a fire safety thing! there has to be some route to safety in every house or public space. So in case there is a fire downstairs you can go out the window
😄😅😄the ladder in bathrooms are for towels socks and cloths dryer mostly heated😅😅😅
he clearly was at nice hotels and not in average shitty ones.
alcohol can make introvert become karaokevert.
pilluharja (more commonly known as pillupuhelin aka bidee-suihku/käsisuihku) is extremely common in households.
bathroom floors are commonly heated as they work as wet floor when showering. common in toilets too but not sure how common. my childhood home had heated toiled floor and i occasionally slept on it. it was kept very warm.
No one actually recruits on the street, but there are these "recruiters" on the street for new monthly subscribers for many charities.
Whenever I went into a party or similar thing I used the innovative thing called the front door, much easier.
Yeah, it's so weird American kids have to sneak out.
Hi Mert. I like your postings and absolutely love your accent.
The last bit about 'greetings'. Generalising a bit, asking How are you? is not a real greeting , it comes after Hei, Moi , (Hyvää) päivää ('good day') etc. Mitä kuuluu? (how are you, how's it going?) is semi-rhetorical, and most people answer something like OK, not bad. The answer about misery is ironic/satirical, (self-)deprecating. This seems to go over the American head. I have to say though that this two are more "European" and have a better sense of humour than others I have seen.
Mert Fin i havent lived in Finland sins 1968 i moved to australia with my mom and dad and no i live in Sweden ,
yes, almost every home and public toilet has a "butt hose"
i love your videos
Shiny people, probably a group of bachelorette party goers.
we had a race to run into the house, through 1st floor, into the second floor, balcony, a terrifying climb to the roof, down the ladder and in front of the house again.... no, we never told anyone, that would have ended the fun
Have you tried any Finnish candies? If not, you should order from Fazer store and make a video about testing those. Especially Fazer's chocolate is so good!
Couples sharing the blanket is a weird concept to carry on having. One can almost picture couples promising each other in their marriage vows to fight over the blanket for the rest of their lives. Almost like walking around wearing the same pants and shirt. The closest thing Finnish couples do is going on a walk wearing matching shell suits.
Where in Europe do they cut your pizza unless its Pizza Hut?
Alcohol and karaoke are golden combo in Finland
my house thas from the 70s has a bidet (the bum hose)
3:40 No, it isn't only at hotels. Pretty much all the homes and many public bathrooms have this hose or bidee in Finland.
And as for that EXIT at the door in that one bathroom this man was speaking of... I think it just might have been some sort of a joke at that place. 😆
6:55 Well yes, usually people have their own blankets here. 🤔
At least I can't think of seeing anyone that I know to have one blanket to be shared with another.. Well, of course unless it's just the cover one, that isn't used as blanket but well, more like decorating etc. But yeah, people in Finland usually have their own blankets. Including those that are in a relationship.
8:53 Um.. I guess there might be some people who would do that..?
But I can't think of ever hearing anyone doing so, like for a teenager to sneak out of the house using the ladder.. Thankfully so.
15:42 Well I mean.. The public bathrooms usually are kept nice and clean here, it needs to be cleaned so it takes of course money to pay for the cleaners.
But not every single public bathroom need to be paid for. I guess it's more of the case at bigger cities and what not. 🤔
The "latter" in bathroom is for drying towels and clothes and it's usually heated altough I don't think that one was. The "ass shower" is in every home and we call it the pussy phone. Lot's of things listed here however exist only in our capital and few bigger cities.
every apartment has that small hand shower near toilet
Do they still use checks In us, think so. 🤣
Yes we have those bide showers or shower right next to toilet seat at homes too.
Heh im fron finland and there is so many things you dont know
And did you know that when you say hmm a dog or dogs we don't have only 2 things we have like 50 of that like dog and dogs is koira koiralle koirasta koiralla koirista koirillaan koirillani koirillasi and moreeeeee
joulupukki asuu Suomessa !!
So cute... Americans commenting hotel rooms and "srangenesses" abroad (outside US, the developing poor countries). Very disturbing behaviour.
The karaoke conundrum is solved by heavy use of alcohol.
Bidet is name for that rear end shower.
4:33 SOCKS ONLY IN A TRAIN TOILET?!?! Now that's-- that's something. I'm not sure if any amount of cleaning can get them clean enough for me to do that.
Looks like a night train for longer distances or some such, where you have your own cabin with a private shower/toilet and beds. Like a small hotel room on rails so not a regular public train toilet 😅
