+ Pls follow me on Instagram to communicate with! It's @dyoreee ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Well, whenever someone mentions Finland, we go nuts. Also, i thought my phone's alarm clock was going off at 0:29... :D

SoulofSol 한솔 kiitos!
This video was amazing! I always love seeing and hearing different perspectives of different cultures (especially if it's your own lol) and since I've heard koreans/japanese have some similar customs and cultural "habits" it was nice to hear how they connected with the Finnish ones :) Welcome to Finland, hope you enjoy your time here ❤️
**cries happy tears, finally a foreigner pronounces sauna right**
Koreans pronounce things quite the same way as we do :D
SONAH
No.
They pronounce it as it's supposed to be, not "So-na-h" they pronounce most of the alphabets the same way as finns do.
German-speaking people say it correctly, too, I think. But English pronunciation of non-English words makes me cringe all the time, too.
"Tiny little rocks on the road" That is the cutest way to describe gravel :)
To be precise, it is crushed and sieved stone. That gives better friction than natural stones that are too round.
Ulf dropping the knowledge bomb on us all ; 0
to prove that im more intellect than you. i have to be precise with the types of stones they use and have a proper grammar also. god i love high IQ dudes.
Yes, because using proper grammar is sooooo pretentious.
We use just lots of salt on the road to melt ice :o
WTF= Welcome To Finland
it took me over 36 years to learn how to pronounce that correctly .... NOW I KNOW :D WTF
this is a great joke！

Also we finnish people complain about the weather , whatever the season is.

Abeba Bua do you have -15 to -35 C and loads of snow and dark most of the day every winter for months and months? Are the summers cold and raining almost every day? Is it possible to snow sometimes in summer time? Because we have all that and we still need to do the daily routines like going to school and work and stuff. We might be complaining but we are tough. 💪
Finnish small talk. We are slowly becoming British!
Swedish people are the same except in summer, we fucken LOVE summer ☀️

Finnish people aren't shy or quiet if they have taken even a little bit of alcohol.

Welcome to Finland, again! I hope you'll have a great time here! :-)
Best thing to do to avoid stabbage when it comes to the Finns is integrity...Say what you mean and mean what you say, and Finns will consider you a person of honor and worthy of trust.
Them beloved cousins saved your Scandinavian civilization from Stalinism while you were hiding behind mommy's apron of neutrality (i.e., Swedes being the chickens as they have been for centuries) or collapse in a matter of few days/weeks against the Nazis (Norway and Denmark). Among the people of fennoscandia, Finns were the only ones with the balls, the integrity, and the courage to fight for their freedom regardless of cost.

Rossy Mossy niihän se on melkeempä että jos afrikan / lähi-idän ja suomen kulttuuriero on noin kilometri niin japanin ja korean kulttuuriero suomeen on noin millimetri vaikkakin ihan havaittavissa oleva niin voi lähes sanoa olevansa sukulaiskansaa esimerkiksi japanilaisten kanssa, ahkeraa ja hiljaista porukkaa jossa keskimäärin ollaan keskenään saman-arvoisia, luotettavuus ja kunnia ovat korkeassa asemassa ja arvostetaan omaa rauhaa vaikkakin siellä väenpaljoudessa se on hyvin etäinen käsite.

When you said "Did you know Sauna is Finnish" I had to laugh a bit, because thats the one thing they are world famous for. It´s like saying "Did you know Kimchi is Korean?" :D
Yes, but that's a simplification. We tend to stereotype countries. Sauna culture is also in Sweden (just not as intense or spread as in Finland -- and of course, Sweden and Finland are just two split halves of previously one country, so not exactly a great surprise). After all, Finnish-speaking people, alongside linguistically related Sami-speaking people, are traditionally the largest minority in the part of what remains as Sweden after the Russia-forced country-split in 1809.
@@syntaxerror8955 No, sauna culture is not in Sweden so much. It's in Russia much more than Sweden. But Finland outdoes everyone and created many of its traditions. If the word sauna is famous worldwide, it is usually a bastardized version of it that includes anything from infrared rooms to sex party clubs and even those stupid little suits people wrap around one half of their bodies. Finland is where true sauna is practiced, and the fact is that it's where the word comes from.
@@syntaxerror8955 I'm not sure who you think you're trying to educate, but "the existence of Finland" does not mean anything in terms of whether something Finnish existed or not, as these are the traditions and practices of the nomadic Finno-Ugric tribes going back thousands of years. The Finns, Estonians, Izhorians etc all share a similar root and traditions. Finns have been in Karelia though for probably 2000 years and that is how they got caught up in war between the Swedish and Russian kingdoms, many times over. So when we say something is Finnish, we say that as a symbol of who we are, not some piece of land or political entity. I said "from Finland" purely to simplify for foreigners.
@@syntaxerror8955 your information about Finland is also just simply flat out wrong. The Finns were always looking for independence from both Sweden and Russia. Do you think this was always one big happy family? lmao. The kingdom of Sweden tried their best to convert the Finns to their own language, religion, traditions and ways of thinking. With some success, but the roots of Finnishness have stood the test of time. Sauna was originally a very spiritual practice. Many of us still consider it so.
@@syntaxerror8955 it's not about borders, it's about using the term Finland to reference the Finns and their ways. I am well aware that Sami, Mansi, etc exist in other areas. Is it a simplification? Yes. But it is also because Finland is where most of the development of sauna has since continued into the 20th and 21st centuries, so there's that. Trust me, I live in Sweden and am well aware that Swedes, while a small percentage practice sauna do not regard it in anywhere near the same way overall as it is in Finland, even if they appear to do the same thing. It just isn't in the culture. I know, because I have tried to educate many Swedes on it and they know next to nothing. Most do not care.
This was very interesting to watch as a Finnish person. Especially when I'm used to watching videos the other way around, about foreigners in Korea. You seem to be very observative. And yeah, there is a reason we have such alcohol laws...
Enlighten us. What is the reason then?
To reduce the death rate of drowning drunks. ;)
Please tell me you can at least buy it on Sundays?
@@PongoXBongo Oh yes, provided that the stores are open. There used to be a law that limited opening times in sundays (Anything between 9 a.m 10 a.m- 6 p.m and from noon - 9 p.m) but it saw relaxations in 2009 before the laws were completly overturned in 2016. Now even hypermarkets that were normally closed in sundays are open till 10 p.m. Idea of releasing opening times was to increase jobs....but that didn't work out since stores just offered sunday jobs to their regulars who were more than happy to work sundays.
There's no reason for it other than a Nanny State way of thinking.
as a finnish man i have nothing to add to this you got it perfectly

Because Finnish men don't speak up, we just give a thumbs up.
Noting differences is not racist at all. American culture has this tendency to call "racism" at every inkling of differences pointed out. Me pointing that out about Americans will be viewed as 'racist' by Americans....maybe. Anyhow, your observations are spot on. I really am more amazed you only found 5 noteworthy. ;-)
I'm American, and I found nothing she said racist in any way, shape or form. Just because there's differences in cultures, doesn't mean something is racist. Not all Americans call things racist; that's a stereotype that needs to die. Besides, we're all the same race: Human. The word you're looking for that people often mistake for racist is Ethnicity. For example: having a fear of Islamic terrorism doesn't mean someone is racist for not liking or feeling safe around Islamic people; Islam isn't a race, but an ideology. Anyway, you didn't say anything racist, either.
A reductionist, nationalist knobhead making everything about America. Very original.
I believe you. But we mostly see America in the media....that is a different America I'm sure. There we see the sensitivity for political correctness. Just like you just did in your reply when you use the word ethnicity. Me using the word "racist" (note the parentheses) made you reply. That is exactly what I meant. It isn't a gripe I have but it is a response I expect....and get. But basically we agree.
Yea as an American anything she said can't even be labeled racist bc America is a cultural melting pot.. So that doesn't make sense. The far left and the ignorant label everything racist. They are called LIBTARDS
If you want to get labled racist, just post it in Sweden. No matter WHAT you say, a whole bunch will be offended and you have trod on their rights, and possibly assumed their genders, age, species and universe. The horror!
Im a Finn, and I have lived in Korea for almost 2 years now. And I could just say that I totally agree😁
Im from Finland and here are few things I noticed when travelling in Korea for 1 month: 1.Most people are super fashionable 2.Everyone has very expensive hiking gear even when walking in small mountains (even the elderly). The nature is amazing btw, mountains, rivers, ocean, caves, Jeju island. 3. Lots of different types of foods and everything is super tasty. 4. Korean entertainment is light years ahead. They have so many unique variety show concepts, really high quality movies and tons of dramas, esports, and of course kpop. 5. Old ladies are bad ass and everyone respects them (or fears them).
Did you see Blackpink there?
iiTrendyz dumb questiom
Question*
What's even more dumb is the fact that you spelled 'Question' wrong. Anyway, my question wasn't dumb, because BlackPink has visited Jeju island this moth for their holiday. So check your facts before you come at me :)

-How to fuck up tampere as an korean 101
Huh? I didn't hear a "j" sound in there.
Aika tarkastaa kuulo, siellä ei ollut mitään J. Hyvin lausu Tampere, juuri niin kuin pitikin.
The pronunciation was pretty much perfect? Same with sauna.
SoulofSol might have obvious Korean accent whilst speaking English but she did not have any problems pronouncing those individual Finnish words.
Finland in a nutshell: you wake up, you go to work, you get back home, you call your friends and boom youre drunk
I’m a Finn and I’ve had similar feelings about making friends in Finland and Korea vs. making friends in USA. I lived in the states for a year and found it also hard to understand if someone was my friend or just nice to me. On the other hand I have many Korean friends and it has been quite easy to become friends due to the fact that the “process” of making friends is quite similar in our countries. It’s quite amazing how different our cultures are, but at the same time there are huge similarities. I definitely had a bigger culture shock in US than in Korea.
Wait, wait, wait. You don't use gravel on slippery roads in Asia? Woah.
In Korea, we put sand sometimes, or put calcium choloride to make the snow melt. I've never seen gravel before!
Oh, alright then! That's somehow really curious. I thought they did it everywhere.
Grus är cancer
We use sand/calcium in Poland as well, gravel is just used for the country roads, or generally other places that are off the beaten track. It's not used on the highways etc. to my knowledge pretty much at all. I guess maybe it depends on the climate to some extent.
Finland uses gravel because of how much ice and cold they have. Salt does nothing to ice when it's -20 degrees outside.
the point about the snow was really interesting, ive never really thought about it and its really funny to me as a finnish person that someone would pay attention to that. lol
i think most finnish people arent necessarily shy, and can be very sociable and talkative, but its seen as common courtesy to not break silences or distract someone unless we're invited to, or have something meaningful to express. its because theres really no "small talk" culture (it exists somewhat but is generally seen as a nuisance and "fake"/suspicious) in finland, and instead of thinking that silence is "awkward", we generally appreciate silence equally as much as we do conversation, often say "silence is golden", and avoid being rude/invasive by disturbing another person's peace, so its very different from america. (i havent been there but ive heard from finnish tourists how e.g. the shop clerks try to chit-chat and smile widely to strangers/customers despite being tired from standing around working all day, and most of us just find that creepy and sad instead of "good manners". lol)
sometimes i see tourists (i only know theyre tourists because they are speaking in foreign languages and are looking around) that give that "im not sure where im going" vibe and i wanna go and ask them if they need help, but since i usually dont know their culture or if theyre actually looking for help, i dont wanna risk bothering them (even though they might be thinking the same thing about us) haha... so i just try to kind of look a little more approachable... in case they wanna ask something....
also ahh that sauna's identical to the little one we had in our apartment when i was growing up, how nostalgic :0 i miss having a sauna... there's no communal sauna in my current apartment building and only the big apartments have their own saunas..... fml
sorry for the rant lol, finnish ppl get really excited when someone talks about finland
actually, i was a little wrong about the small talk thing - its generally acceptable and normal to do small talk in saunas, of course. i think it could be because even finns might find sweating together naked in complete silence a teeny tiny bit awkward.
Hahahaha wow thanks for the amazing comment! I thought small rocks so interesting! didn't think it can be surprise to you that foreigners are surprised lol
It is not rant, just a wall of text. No worries, tho.
Thanks for all that nice explanation:-)
Some Finns also tend to joke that silence is "a traditional Finnish group game" and that you should talk about something every once in a while to avoid having too much fun in the game
Hello and welcome to Finland! This was a great video and you really nailed it! I also like it that you kept it very respectful. :) And yes, honesty is so true! I have often issues with my foreign friends because in some countries using superlatives ("We will be friends forever" "You are the coolest person I have met") is just a normal way of being polite. But for me, if someone says something, I expect that they mean it. And I very often hear "It took me so long to realize how honest you are and if you say something you actually mean it." Haha! :D
True. Im finnish and we ussually do have sauna's and were shy and dont really speak to strangers in bus for example. And i speak english ok, but only when in with my friends, if i need to speak english to a random person my english sounds weird.
No, Finnish people are not shy. This is one of the biggest misconceptions I've ever heard and I don't understand where this comes from. Actually Finnish people are quite the opposite of being shy. Finnish people just don't talk nonsense constantly if they don't have anything to actually say. It's a cultural thing, which respects other people by not bothering them unnecessarily so much. But Finnish people can also talk a lot. And particularly people from Eastern Savo area who just can't stop talking quite often, although that is also actually quite over-generalized. If you think being silent is being shy, then you don't understand what the word and concept of shy and being shy means at all. However while it is indeed pretty common, that actual shy people don't talk a lot, at least in public and to strangers, people who don't often talk a lot are not commonly shy.
You sum up finnish people quite nicely :) Nice video
I live in Finland and yesterday a stranger talked to me in bus 😂👌👌
No se ei varmana ollu täysin suomalaine.. *ei varmana* jos oli nii jösses
Kaisa se oli varmaan vanha mummo kosk ne puhuu väillä
Dani Banani no totta joo
Dani Banani vahnu sarii kutii! Yxe visii runa! Sry..
se kyl tosiaan on aika harvinaista et joku puhuis tääl suomes ihmisille :D
"how to deal with snow"
me: ignore it and stay inside
One of the most finnish thing to do is to wait inside your apartment until the hallway is clear of neighbors before you go out :)
😂 True
I am finnish and i think that EVERYTHING in that video is true. Also... I wan't to travel to Korea.
Ps. You are very cute😘
Karoliina Koskensalo i agree
"I thought koreans were the best at drinking alcohol"
Ohh my sweet summer child you have no idea, we Nords love to drink and have a good time. Like you said that's why we have our laws.
Also sorry for this, but the matching is called a frontloader and it's gravel mixed with a tiny bit of salt they put on the roads.
Haha, Finns are a unique bread. We don't talk to strangers unless absolutely necessary. We're very anti-social, but I think we like to think of it as "efficient", even if Finns are some of the nicest people I have ever met. I've lived in the US, Canada, and Sweden so I'm not a 100% Finn, and the one thing all Finns hate about westerners is how they are unnecessarily kind. Now, it's alright to be kind to people, but only if you mean it. How often do Americans actually care when they ask somebody "how are you?"? Or, in a work environment it is extremely rude to say for example, "this was really good, but...", to sugar-coat something so it doesn't sound mean. That's really difficult for westerners to wrap their heads around. The idea is basically that "why would you lie and say that it'd really good if it's not?" It's also worth thinking about how Finns don't think Finland is a great country, they think it's a bad country because they always know they can do better. I was once talking to some kids in a small town south of Turku, and they asked me "why are you in the shittiest place on earth?", because I've lived most of my life in the US. Anyways, really interesting how Finland is similar to Korea! Just found your channel, I really like it! Hello from Helsinki :)
P.S., don't worry, Finns LOVE alcohol. It's a common stereotype, but it's partly true. And yes, we are VERY proud of our saunas. It's amazing and very good for you. Get some long drink in a piping hot sauna, then jump in the snow naked and run back inside. Trust me, it's amazing
Juu, leipää ollaan ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Kristian Ure very talkative i dont like

i hope you like it in Finland!! it’s really cool to hear a korean sight of what finland is like :D as a person who is really interested in asian culture and especially korean :)
Nice to hear you're liking Finland!
Great video, and you were easy on the eyes too ; )
This was such a lovely video! I’m glad you’ve noticed and enjoyed these things about Finland💕
You viewed us quite nice way, Thank you
Somebody can actually pronounce 'sauna' properly, i was expecting the regular ''sooona''
Aww crud now I’m gonna have to find another way to help ppl pronounce my name.
i say sawna
od b 🤣🤣😁
me too
I think your bf bought so much alcohol because in Finland it's quite expensive. I've not been to South Korea(sadly), but I've heard that a bottle of soju cost like maybe five euros for a big bottle and that is _super_ cheap for a Finn (E.g. the cheapest bottle of wine you can find from a liquor store costs maybe 6€ for a 0,75l bottle with 12% alcohol.). Please correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway I liked your video a lot and will def check out your other videos too :--) Have a nice time in our small country!
Our country is actually bigger than Korea, South and North combined. Quite a lot bigger since Korean peninsula is less than 2/3 of Finland's area. However population is much larger in Korea, about 9,4 times more in South and about 4,6 times more in North and about 14 times more in the whole Korea.
Thank you for sharing your experience!! It was very interesting to hear your point of view. Also, you are so pretty!!
What a lovely video 😊! Really enjoyed watching it!
☺️ Thank you!!!
You want to come Finland and i want to go korea
Same armyyyyyy❤️❤️❤️

En kestä enää xddd anime on japanilaista eikä kiinalaista/korealaista haha
I’m from Finland and I felt really good after watching your video:) Sometimes finnish people describe themselves as socially awkward people but after hearing that you think we were and sounded respecful is super heart warming. I mean as a local it’s really hard to tell what foreigners think about us:) You were soo cute and polite which I looove and also I subscribed!! I would love to travel to South Korea some day! 😄
Just found your video randomly and I've got to check out more from you! :) Super funny and great editing! You seem really nice and funny and you come across really natural in your videos!
this was a great video! ❤️💕
it is nice video :) I also lived finland around 3 years and loved that country. I lived in espoo... and miss Finland sometimes... :)
I am korean. nice to meet you sol
Hahah as a Finn i think you're quite spot on x)
I really do like your channel, keep the work going!!!!
Cuteness overload. Had to subscribe!
You got a new subscriber, And as I Finn I can say you are correct in all of them ㅋㅋㅋ. I'm actually really interested In Korean culture so it's nice to hear a Korean's opinion about something that is normal for me in every day. It also may help me of I ever get a chance to visit Korea. Much love♥
SaraPabo en nyt tiedä osaako muka suurin osa suomalaisista osaa hyvin enkkuu
I recommend to visit Korea but remember that at wintertime it feels much colder than in Finland because of high humidity. It was big surprise for me.
The food there is just great. Don't go McDonald but all local places. I enjoyed the food a lot. Every place it was really tasty even those small street kitchen food. I travel a lot and Korea is one of the best country I have visited if thinking about food.
Very interesting culture.
Max Nurminen suurin osa niistä jotka on käyny muutakin ku elämämkoulua
Max Nurminen I can bet you ten euros to go ask something in English from the next stranger you see and they will be able to respond to you. Pronounciation is not a mark of good English. Understandability is.
I love your sweater! So cute!
Yes, it was a very pretty sweater and it fits her well.
This was very entertaining, informative, well produced, funny & educational. Thank You.
This is very good video!! :) :D Don´t stop making these!
That Joey reference though 😁
Nice video! I feel like korean people are similar to finnish when it comes to how they treat other people. I have visited korea 5 times because I have friends there and feel like you do in Finland, it's familiar but unfamiliar at the same time :D sometimes I still get culture shocks in some things.
This is really accurate! It was interesting to watch, you’re so pretty and funny 😄
Cool video :) keep up the good work! We've visited Korea twice 2016 and 2017, one thing we found funny was that when we were checking out restaurant review there were always English comments "bad/rude service, waiter not polite" etc. but when we visited we found the level of service really nice and good :D Similarities to Finnish service: waiter possibly say hi/choose your seat, takes your order, brings your order, charges you. No need for small talk or "how was your food" or being nice just for the tips. We felt very much at home ;)
Gorgeous ✨ Your english is amazing!! Miss u Hansol 🙌 Come to Brazil 🇧🇷
Thank you so much Jinwoo👍🏻
I appreciate the reference to Joey's "How you doin'?" :D
Big thumb up for music in the sauna section :D Your videos are great!
You are so pretty! It's fun to see that you have a good time here!
I love your little edits and skits 😂
You seem sweet😍
Wow it's amazing how you got all of them right. Your always welcome back!
great video, keep it up :) Your videos have amazing quality
This was very interesting to watch as a Finn. Well done :-D

Great job. Big thumbs up! p.s. When in Finland, buy enough beer for the week so you don't have to rush out at 20:55.
You're so cute I miss you so much! I'm glad you got to go back to Finland I know you love it there 🤗
Wow i just found your chanlle and i think I'm in love with you 😂 I subbed to you immediately. I really loved this video. So interesting to hear someone talk about Finland other than finnish people. I hope you have had fun in here. I would love if you would do more videos lile this. And all the things you said is true. Well at least thry describe me. And I have actually wanted to go to Korea for a long time. And it is so nice and interestinh to know that it is so similar to Finland.Also i have to say you are very beautiful 😍❤ Love you and your videos keep it up.
You are so pretty O . O also, it's interesting how similar Finnish and Korean people are with some of the manners/shyness and drinking culture.
welcome to Finland!!! I hope you are having a great time in here, maybe hopefully I'll get to go to korea someday too haha
I'm Finnish and I was an exchange student in Korea 2 years ago. Funny, I felt the same about Korean people as you did about Finnish people there! Koreans are pretty shy at first, especially if they aren't confident in their English skills, but they are really reliable once you get to know them. I felt pretty comfortable living there because Koreans and Finns match quite well personality wise :)
Enough with the jump cuts already. Im in love.
this was so interesting! having looked into korean culture a little bit (since its been in the news bc of the olympics and the skincare and the music lately) i thought it had some similarities to finnish culture. love how you were impressed with the snow situation haha!
U r so pretty😍 Yes finnish alcohol culture is quite interesting... Drinking in finland, doesn't only mean enjoying it but [[heavy]] hangover. Do a boyfriend tag!
Nice work with this video and great grass root observations of the Finnish culture - I can definitely recognize myself and my country. I don't know why it has become like that but I'm suspecting it's the dark and cold climate that has something to do with it.
★★★★★ Outstanding, thank you so much for sharing.
This was so surprising! You are really good at making videos too ^.^
Ok, first I just want to say you are the cutest person I've ever seen in my life. But my main comment is that I really enjoyed seeing your interpretation of the culture shock! I moved from America to Norway, and norwegian culture is very similar to finnish culture, and I really struggled with adjusting. I was extremely shocked by how people weren't generally friendly and talkative to strangers. I had no idea how to interacte socially or make friends and I felt really lonely. Weirdly, seeing your point of view on it and hearing you exlpain how it made you feel kind of gave me a deeper understanding of it? I don't know if I'm making any sense. But seeing how positively you reacted to the culture shock and your effort to really understand the culture gives me more motivation to work harder on overcoming my own. You're like a little ray of sunshine it made my day. Imma go subscribe and I hope you have a great day!
Us norwegians are weird, hard to get to know and usually very quiet, you definetely see it at concerts.
I'm from sweden and went over to America for a month. I was shocked at how people just came up and started talking to you at completely random occasions. :p
Gotta look at the positive side; if a Scandinavian makes eye contact and smile at you, you KNOW you've made a bff.
Joking aside, I hope your Norwegians warm up to you soon! I can't really speak for them since I'm Swedish but generally we're all kinda like stray cats. Casual food offerings and light socialisation with clear escape possibilities is the way to win us over, slowly but surely.
Casual food offerings... LOL
I too appreciate food and light socialization with clear escape possibilities. Now is my chance to go out into the world and make friends one chicken nugget at a time!
Oh I love this video! You're so pretty and funny!!!! More of these please..!
And your pronunciation is REALLY good! If I just heard the words you say in finnish, I would think you are actually from here!
Great vid! Loved it :D definitely gonna try korea on my next trip since we're so alike 😊
Hi, this was a really cool video. I don't ever comment anything to any videos but to this one i had to, I really liked it!! Take care, I appreciate!
Yeeaaahh...Finland is our "brother" and we, Estonias, are almost the same. :) Have you ever visited Estonia?
Silja P hi, little bro!
Lol Estonia low-key celebrated Suomi 100 more than Finland itself
Estonia for me sounds like drunk werid finnish (no offense)

I’m going to use this video to help my high school students understand me better - I’m Canadian, but was raised in a very Finnish household, so much so that I have my Finnish citizenship. Thanks for the great ( honest ) video!
Aww! I'm glad my video is used in good way :)
Thank you for this video, it's very interesting to hear your experiences in Finland as a Korean person 😊 I hope you enjoy your time here! 💕
Great video, it was super interesting to watch this as a Finn! Hope you enjoy your time here in Finland! 🇫🇮❤️
pc bang + hanging out at friends place = LAN party
As someone who lives in Norway, there is similitudes with Finland actually.
I've been in Norway, only Oslo and Bergen, for travel. I've talked with some Norwegian in the train, they were nice to me. I appreciated.
omg
This is the first video I've seen from you
And I love you already
Most entertaining video about Finland I have ever seen. Surely has a lot to do with your talking style.

Great video!! I love Finland, such an awesome country! May I suggest you a couple of finish YuTubers, whom I absolutely love to watch - KatChats and Gardin. They have an interesting content of the videos!
Sä oot oikeesti maailman kaunein 😍😍
Thank you for making such a lovely video, it was really interesting to see how you experience culture shocks in Finland! :) As a Finn who stayed in Korea for 1 year, I must say I also noticed how easy it is to "blend in" with the locals in public transportation - no talking to strangers, no smiling, personal space (although during rush hours the actual space was reduced to zero, haha). Anyways, I hope you're enjoying your time here in Tampere and I hope to see more videos like this from you! ^-^
I did taekwondo 25 years ago. Hold my beer, I can do this: Hana dol set net tasot jasut ilgop ahop jol. Wow, I can still count to ten in Korean!
Woooooww!!!!! That's correct ! Awesome that you can remember it 😳😳🤓
Finnish Nightmare 라는 책이생각나네요! 거기에도 personal space 이야기가 나와요
아아 맞아요! ㅎㅎ 저도 그거 책은 못 봤는데 포스트카드 봤어욤
Great video, I can't stop watching these "Foreigners in Finland" videos xD
I just found your channel, but I'm glad I did!
Nice Chair, liked the video
Finnish society is based not on trust, but distrust of everyone else. It is like being in the same small boat that is going to a huge stream. You do not trust the person that has directed the boat to the stream, but being in the boat is still much safer than jumping into the stream itself.
I don't like drinking alcohol, because it makes me friendly and social and then when I am sober, people start expecting that I am friendly and social.
Big high five Hansol!!!
you pronounce Tampere so well and it sounds so finnish !! :'D i love it
