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...
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?
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.
😂😂
His picture truthfully looked more ladder than drying rack if you have no clue what it is =)
Yep, even homes have rack or ladders dryers
Exactly 🎯! I was looking for this comment. 😅👍🏻
Yes, personal duvets are a norm in Finland. Practicality before coziness, an old Finnish motto :)
The "shiny people" he noticed had most probably something to do with the Helsinki Samba Festival, held every June. Yes, Helsinki has an annual Samba parade.
The "recruiters" he saw are working for UNICEF, Amnesty, WWF and similar organisations, looking for monthly donors typically.
We never climbed the ladder attached to our house as kids, because if we wanted to climb, the abundant amount of trees that are around were much more fun to a child's mind. :D
In Finland the maternity box has a long history. In here it first started at 1937 for the lower income families and 1949 it was given to all families who got their baby. One of the reasons that it was started here was to make sure that every baby had basics to start their life no matter where they were born. It was also part of the effort to lower the child mortality in Finland after the wars. You had to register in maternity clinic to get one and you still have to do that. It guided more mothers into early screening and education with their pregnancies. And that is the real reason why the maternity box lowered the child mortality in Finland so well instead of the babies sleeping in the empty box as they are alway talking. It is just convenient bassinet to use on the first months bc it is easy to carry around when you move from one room to other.
A lot of other countries have tried the maternity box but no other has stick to it before. It looks like the Scotland is first to follow us in handing them out every year for every family starting from 2017.
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.
And if you have a chimney there need to be ladders to it. The chimney should be sweeped once a year (by law).
We also have mandatory in 2+story hiuses to build escape tunnels under the building in case that a building collapses.We do not have earthquages but it is for case of war.
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.
loops in towels in hotels almost never have them. But truthfully as Finnish person I don't go to hotels that much in Finland, but in those I have been towels always have loops. All towels should have loops.
You don't have to differentiate between "British English" and the global language called "English", the primary language and native tongue of people in many countries around the world. In fact it is a bit rich to call the furrin jibber jabber spouted by Merkins "English". "Zee" is not a letter in the English language.
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.
Yeah water is better😂my grandmom used to say , if you fall face first in shit,would you rather wash it with water or wipe it with paper...
Vanha kunnon "pillupuhelin" 👌
4:23 Why on Earth ppl do not have loops in towels everywhere??
8:14 Those ladders I don't know. Like typically they are smaller and on the wall, heated, so one can put their towel there to dry on, but those ladders look that those are removable and either a part of getting up on a upper bed in a room or from a closet so one can fold their clothes on them 🤔
9:30 The fire escape ladders on the buildings are for that: To get out off the building in case of emergency. Ppl don't go to roofs or break in through those and they are really rarely used for escaping to see loved ones or to run away.
We have REALLY low crime rates here and in general not much need to escape through windows anyway. 😅
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.
The baby box was great! Or as in Finland it's called maternity package. I myself had no idea how to take care of a baby when we had our first child. It was very helpful including baby clothes, accessories etc.
I've never heard of anyone climbing out or in using those ladders, even during my teenage years. Finnish windows are a bit difficult to open (due to being double/triple-glassed due to long winters), so it'd be a bit of a hassle to open them wide enough just to get outside your room. I think you just wouldn't do it outside an emergency or needing to wash them.
No one actually recruits on the street, but there are these "recruiters" on the street for new monthly subscribers for many charities.
Ohhh the things we make from tar side from candy. Hand/body soap, shampoo (good for treating dandruff), carpet cleaner/general cleaner, ice-cream, alcohol, medical salve (very good for small wounds)...
Da Capo began as a recycled chocolate when Fazer though about using liqueur candy that didn't pass quality control in a new candy bar. They melted the candy and mixed in some rum to round up the taste, topping it off with dark chocolate. There's no alcohol since it evaporates in the process. The mane means "redo from the start."
Salty licorice/salmiak licorice is just called salmiakki here. Licorice uses anise and licorice root for its flavor, so it's pretty sweet. Salmiakki uses ammonium chloride for it's distinc taste. So licorice refers to sweet candy and salmiakki to sweet and salty candy.
In Finland almost every home have butt hoses in bathrooms / toilets. It is a modern standard here in Finland.
..and i think is called bidė-shower..😅
yes, that's the correct name, but the one people actually use is pu**y phone (in Finnish: pillupuhelin)
I've been using my butt hose at my homes incorrectly. Usually have used it as aid to wash my bathroom. Need stop doing that and use it properly. But then comes the question of usage. Is the butt hose for internal or external use for your butt?
@@timorautiainen1783 "But then comes the question of usage. Is the butt hose for internal or external use for your butt?" Both if you want to use it so.
..if you happen to have crohn's disease, being able to clean your butt with minimal abrasion, is like heavenly luxury..speaking from experience..😅 ..so i'd vote for external usage..👍
As an introvert Finnish person I have sung in karaoke. Several times. Every of those times absolutely hammered. Sober...not a chance.
I tend to sing karaoke (drunk of course) once every 5 years or so, then realize it's really really not for me and stop until another 5 years have rolled by :D But it is strangely popular
I was looking for this comment! Most people are drunk out of their minds so they can go wild 😂 I personally don’t care if I’m drunk or not, nobody knows so I’ll just sing and dance if I feel like it 😅
That "ladder" is a dryer for your towel, if you turn it on it will warm up, so you can hang up the wet towel on it. And those little showers besides the sink are in every house here in Finland.
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
Its a reindeer roast
Or i think so but if i remember its from the back area of a reindeer
@@mikpoiu6 inner loin is near backbone and inside the body
@@pjsyrj ok thanks since i aint a bucher
The ladder in the bathroom is most likely a cloth/towel drying rack. The ladder outside is for safety but pretty sure some kids/teens have used them too to sneak out. Though I don’t think this is very common.
Public bathrooms are usually free in most places but places like stations might have pay bathrooms. Probably for safety reasons too.
Finns are very practical.
Cold countries usually are, because otherwise you'd basically die 😂
The concept of “How are you?” is different in Finland. Yes, you can get a short answer like Nothing special. Or some other variation of it. (Personally haven’t ran into the misery one.) It also depends on who you say it to and it is not really something you would say to a total stranger. However, a person might also answer it by telling something that had happened, good or bad. Finns don’t do small talk and speak when they have something to say and are direct, so “How are you?” also means that you are actually interested in knowing how the other person are. This is why if you ask the same question in English from a Finn, they might tell you more than you want or care to know.
I think "nothing but misery" is a kinda poor translation from "ei kurjuutta kummempaa" :D It's really not quite so negative, more like an example of our weird dark humor
I can't believe that Americans are so surprised about the things mentioned. Actually I do. Loops in towels and ladders in the bathrooms 😂! And what it means to be the happiest nation in the world? It doesn't mean that people are laughing all the time. It means that we are happy about the healthcare system and schooling for example. Universities are free, so that everybody can go there, not only rich kids. Actually you should read about these things (it will blow your mind) so that I don't have to write a book here. Happy travels 😀!
Perhaps the recruiters they saw were actually volunteer/charity organisations collecting donations, or newspaper sellers trying to get you to subscribe to the paper. There's also a lot of telephone and electrical companies in front of stores, trying to get people to change their phone/electric plans over to that company instead.
Yes, there are no actual recruiters - just volunteers or sometimes paid ppl to ask, if ppl want to join eg. WWF or "Pelastakaa lapset" (Save children organisation) and so on and donate monthly some amount of money for their operation.
And also ppl selling contracts to electricity companies, cellphone companies, magazine orders and so on. 😅
8:04 The ladder in the bathroom must have been a towel drying rack
Ladder, fk 🤣🤣🤣
...and they're often water heated as a part of the floorheating flow....
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
Bidet's are quite standard around here. We had them in my childhood home, at our grandparents farm, every apartment I've been in...
Floor heating help to dry floor, dry floor prevent growth. Dont smell like cellar 🙂
The footballs are made dy Wilson that used to be Finnish company owned by Finnish company Amer.
The "Exit" sign was for to show where to unlock on the door (there was another lock under the handle), a bit uncasual mechanism so the sign was seen as complimentary to point out how to open the door.
Finnish children are teached to be polite and silent, when there is strangers around. That is why they are not making noises in public.
Not all children are polite and quiet, and I'm not talking about the offspring of immigrants, I'm talking about children who are entirely native Finns. Whether you get on the bus in the afternoon or a bit later, it's not quiet, and children or teenagers (around 10-16 years old) are not very polite either if they are instructed to use headphones instead of listening to music/videos etc. on their mobile phones. They can be quite badly behaved at times, but that's entirely explained by peer pressure. On their own, of course, children are quiet and polite, but if they are in a larger group, there is no politeness, let alone silence. Which brings to mind another saying: in a crowd, stupidity is concentrated.
Of course, not all children or teenagers are bad-mannered, there are actually smart, polite and friendly kids who know how to behave.
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.
And Americans said it's hard to understand Scottish accent, which is weird for me. I understand it better than for example New Yorkers way to speak.
I live in Helsinki myself (I'm a Finn) and I don't have a sauna at my too little apartment, but we do have a sauna in here (ofc). It'll cost you only 15€ per month and it's so amazing to have it.
Onother day i was in bus here in Finnland. Only guy who made noise was from middle east. I was very un happy.
From Germany, and I always feel sorry for the English-speaking world for missing out on sauna culture...
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.
That personal blanket thing is what I am trying to talk my African girlfriend to adopt. She keeps hogging the blanket and it was she who wanted the shared one. It fucking sucks. The Finnish way of having personal blankets is superior. 😅
In my experiences the face to face workers on the streets usually offer deals from electricity or insurance companies.
😄😅😄the ladder in bathrooms are for towels socks and cloths dryer mostly heated😅😅😅
As person who goes sometimes outside (I'm homebody), it depends on the day and hours of the day. Not in public spaces or transportation always quiet. But we appreciate specially at the mornings, after work hours (evening) and night time.
In finland the saltyliquorise is not natriumcloride, but ammoniumcloride, that tastes different.
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
In Helsinki is lot of free toilets in Metrostations, library, malls... When I was in Estonia they have to usually pay in everywhere. If you go to restaurang toilet is usually free for customers, also Prisma and many bigger shopmarkets have toilets.
DaCapo has been my favourite since childhood
Yes, we prefer dedicated blankets. My husband and I have had to ask for separate blankets in hotels abroad, because in that way we can genuinely relax while we are sleeping, not worrying that by turning around in your sleep you steal your partner's half of the blanket without knowing it.
In bathroom (toilet) it says "Oven aukaisu" (opening the door) and under it "exit". So it was telling that is a mecanism to open and lock the door. But translation for english was kind of.. ..well poor :)
For karaoke, some of us (well most of us) when we are drunk we can and do dance and sing.. but not while sober :)
BTW I would find it odd if my pizza would be sliced when it would be ready. Like why would they touch my food? So I guess for me that would be odd.
Babies and kids are loud in every country. And Finnish kids are no exception. So, small kids being them selves is perfectly acceptable. But I suppose we learn pretty fast to pipe down, because everyone around us are so quet. My son is seven now and I am still waiting this thing to happen to him, Some kids are just a bit slower to learn....
The ladders outside houses are there as an additional escape measure sometimes but mostly they are there for snow removal from the roof and servicing the water chutes, chimney and ventilation system vents
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
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 😤
@@henriikkak2091 No. We will keep calling them pillupuhelin even if it offends you.
Just niin 😊
...
Most of the people on the streets are not recruiting but asking about your internet or about news papers.
Yeah i have climbed like every ladder in my town when i was younger. greetings from finland.
XD
I have only secretly climbed my childhood home's ladders to see to the roof
Same here and now that I look back I'm absolutely terrified of some of the stuff we did :D Also used to climb every tree we could (and got chased out of parks repeatedly for that)
Fazer is famous sweets company that was orginal make chocolates or chocolate flavored sweets. They also have cafes in Helsinki area, as well pastries like biscuits (yes we call them biscuits in English here). But yeah in terms of things translated into English is a combination of both American and British terms. But again the candy names made by Fazer are usually inspirational name and it mind have it's little story.
Lots of saunas in Finland!
Separate duvets/blankets for the win!
There are some things that are particular for hotels but over all most things are part of our everyday life.
The exit sign on the bathroom door was beside the lock, indicating that the lock is separate from the handle.
Pine tar!
Bidet is name for that rear end shower.
this blows my mind from Finn's point of view... you don't have loops in towels? And it is the most annoying thing when travelling as many counties has only the one massive blanket per bed.
I have never seeing an towel without loop. I think that loop is normal.
All towels have loops and so do the bath robes.
24:30 We usually have sections in trains for children to play in (and be noisy ❤️). Put yes, if one needs to make sure, children stay silent, it can be quite stressful. Fortunately most ppl understand, children are children, and don't think too much of it, if they make noise. ❤ Most can relate to the parent trying to keep children calm and quiet and are compassionated toward your struggles. 😅
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...
Pyllypuhelin vois kans olla. 🤔
Yes we Fins are sometimes little quiet but after couple social potions (beer,longdring etc) we open and lots of ppl like sing karaoke, and in Finland karaoke is done front of whole bar and not in private booths
As a Finnish parent, I agree 100%: the IKEA high chair with the strap was god given equipment. And definitely get the optional tray for it, too!
12:17 they will slice it up if you ask for it - most ppl don't want their pizza to be pre-sliced, so nowadays no-one even offers to slice it put assume, you ask it if you want it. 😅
15:01 Omg! They must have been in Finland and Helsinki during Helsinki Samba Carnaval! That is the reason for the shiny outfits!! Those are some of the participants in the carnaval who are walking to the starting spot! I also have danced there for many years and the outfits are usually weird for Finnish people too😂😅
Nice vid lad. You should react to finnish movie called ''the unknown soldier''. It's based on WWII continuation war between Finland and soviets and follows finnish jaegers on front. And because there is 3 versions of that movie, I recommend latest from 2017.
I in the other hand recommend the first version
15:30 The sign with "Exit" on the door is just a bad translation of "oven aukaisu". It means "Turn here to open (door)".
Most things here are very common place in the Nordic countries, The most very Finish things is the Saunas (more of them then people in Finland) and the black licorice, yes we all love the black licorice in the nordics, but in my opinion as a Swede Finland make the best black licorice. (The butt-hoses and bides was thing in Sweden, but when out of style in the 1980’s)🇸🇪❤️🇫🇮
You dont need to pay on all public toilets, only some. Usually shopping centers have free toilet and every metro station have too. There is also several free public toilets around Helsinki, provided by city. Usually only bus stations or railway stations have public toilets behind paywall.
Also "newspaper on poles" isnt commong thing. Some restaurants, librarys etc. public places keep them on those "poles" so people wouldnt steal it so easily. But mostly newspaper or magazines are just laying on table somewhere.
Ps. Jim is my favourite candy!
3:43 Yea we do actually! It's very useful😊
Exactly 🎯💯!
yes, almost every home and public toilet has a "butt hose"
number 29 😅 regarding the toilet, it's about a few things, first it's about psychology, in means that the handle is pulled towards you, and out means that the handle is pushed away from you, these are small messages to the brain, which make it easier in a hurry😂 the second is that usually in hotels you have to every room should have a sign at the exit point that reflects in the dark, if there is a fire and the electricity goes out, for safety reasons, there must be an exit, as well as emergency exit signs that reflect light, so that people can navigate themselves out and to safety.
3:50 We call "bum hose" a "hand shower" or "bidee" and yes, we have them everywhere. In homes, private and public restrooms etc.
Really great for your hygiene, especially for ladies once a month
@@laurasaari3902also important after sex.
i love your videos
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
Never had a sauna in my hotel room, for that you need book a suite in luxury hotel
I have listen now almost 10minutes and there hasn't been a lot of things that involve only hotels? Quite contrary there has been a lot of things that are normal almost everywhere in Finland and/or things that are normal in many restaurants and some in school lounges, in libraries and so on.
In house apartment I have a small shower by the sink. Mainly use it when I watsh my toilet seat. Most of the strange things are in hotels or cruise ships (Viking Line, Tallink, Silja line). I guess if went outside of Helsinki area, you would find way more strange things. But isn¨t it the meaning of travelling that you see how people live in other countries?
Pine tar is is produced by heating pinewood with reduced fire.This makes resins with carbon come out of the wood. Pine tar is used to protect wooden things outside, things like fences and especially caulking and protecting wooden boats.The tar trade was a profitable business in Finland, especially from the 17th century. Shipbuilding activity in Western Europe became lively, and tar and pitch were needed for wooden ships. Tar has also been used to medical purposes among the people. There is a saying in Finnish: "If sauna, liquor or tar will not help the disease will lead to death".
Where in Europe do they cut your pizza unless its Pizza Hut?
In Finland teenagers are normally allowed to date and go out with their boyfriends/girlfriends if they're, like, normal people so no need to sneak out 😄
The ladders on houses is for roof access for various things including removing snow
About the karaoke, every introvert becomes an extrovert after couple drinks, so most of those places also serve alcohol.
A standard answer to "how are you" is to answer how you truly are... so be prepared.
Tar is a common flavor, used in some candies, but also as a scent, in shampoo or you can add it to the water you throw on the sauna stove, to create steam.
The ladder, I almost spit out my coffee... that's a towel drying rack.
They visited obviously during the summer time, but if you did a winter trip there, you would have noticed outside of that specific Starbucks store no snow on the ground, the sidewalk there is heated.
Some other things Finnish people usually remember to mention are the dish drying cabinets above the sink, the shelves are wire racks and drain directly to the sink, so no drying dishes clutter your counter.
Finnish people do value their nature a lot and are very advanced recyclers, something Americans could learn from. A lot of thought goes to designs valuing the environmental aspects.
Yes most of big hotels have worspaces. Its normal.
Alcohol and karaoke are golden combo in Finland
/2 now I'm 8 minutes in the clip, is this a hotel ad?....maybe, still gonna watch it through :D
my house thas from the 70s has a bidet (the bum hose)
We definitely have dedicated blankets for each person in our homes. It does help with a happy marriage. 😂
The "ladder" might actually be a place to hang your towel to dry so you don't wash them everyday you stay in a hotell.
I have born and lived in Finland all my life and about 1/4 of these things I have never seen or experienced 😅
@@tuomassyrjaniemi Do you get out a lot?😂
We have dedicated blankets in homes as well. There is no ladder in the bathroom. It is a drying rack. According to safety regulations you need to have ladders outside houses and on the roofs. You have all sorts of cinnamon rolls. In public restrooms there are papet towels, ordinary towels and drying machines. Mostly the more expensive restaurants have reindeer on the menu. Pizzas are slized or not. There are both sauna boats and rafts. Have never seen shiny people in Finland, in Amsterdam yes. You do not have to phone if you go to public restroom. In some places you have to pay. Newspapers in poles only in some restaurants, normally no poles. All babies get a baby box. Healthcare for mom and child is free. To have a baby in the hospital costs appr 200-300 euros. Finnish design is unique, so is architecture. Finns are content. We do not say to people immediately that we love them. We can be quiet and happy being in peace. Children can make noice. Tarcandies are good. So is tar shampoo and soap. Finns like liqourice. There is a candybar named Jim - chocklad with jelly inside. Salty liquorice is good. There are lots and lots of different types of pastries, both salty and sweet, with all types of fillings. Best pastries in eastern Finland. As for furniture, oldies are goldies. Old design and old handmade pieces of furniture. These you get from auctions, relatives, flea markets etc
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.
The ladders on outside walls are fire exits. When kids want to meet their friends, they use front door to exit the house, though.
We also have mandatory in 2+story hiuses to build escape tunnels under the building in case that a building collapses.We do not have earthquages but it is for case of war.
They haven't been a mandatory thing in decades unfortunately. It was more common before the 80's or even 70's, I don't remember when it stopped being mandatory in new buildings tho.
Also I cannot be 100% sure, so fact check it if you want to
So far.. yes to every question. And most of finnish features are either for comfort or for safety requlations.
The best way to eat reindeer (if you're wealthy enough) is to eat only thick reindeer tenderloin, cooked medium, probably served with vegetables and red wine sauce. It's really expensive, though. The second best option is called "poronkäristys" (sautéed reindeer), typically served with smashed potatoes.
the "ladder" is a heated drying rack for your towels.
As a Finn, I think that Finland is least failed country in the world and that makes Finland the happiest country. Finns just understand that there's still a lot to fix still so they may not feel overly happy because they compare Finland to utopia, not other countries.
Shiny people, probably a group of bachelorette party goers.
I think Finland is known for functional design. The kind where the item must first function for the task it was designed for and only then look as good as possible without sacrificing the functionality even a bit.
Reindeer dishes are not available in all restaurants throughout Finland. more in the Helsinki area and Lapland, as well as some other things described as miraculous, e.g. the working space of the hotel
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!
They tried few Fazer candies in the end of the video. Did you not watch it through?
@@jax99888 I meant Mert
@@sofiat8067 Ohh!
ladder🤣no no my friend, usually every home in Finland has a "ladder" with two pipes that heat up and thus dry the clothes/towels put on it. In hotels, these ladders are great for drying towels😁they save space, and wet towels dry faster than hanging towels☺️
In home towels have loops too
Using of credit cards in Finland doesn't necessary mean that people need any credit.
In Finland the Bank charge your bank account usually at the end of the month for your purchases. If you have enough money on your account, the bank does NOT charge any interest.
I live in Spain and got a shock how the bank started to charge interest even though I had plenty of money on my account. The bank really did unbelievable moves to leave purchases partially unpaid in order to charge more interest also in the coming months. For that reason I use now only a Debit card even though it is less secure.
Getting your pizza sliced.. 7/10 times you need to ask for it..
