    Greetings from Finland! Nice to see your reactions. A couple of things. It doesn't snow all the time in Finland. Only in winter. Finland is similar to Michigan(I lived there) In the area where I live in Finland, it doesn't snow often, maybe 5-10cm and there are winters when there isn't even snow in January... But it's so cold that the seawater freezes.. Airports are kept in good condition by plowing or they are treated so that snow does not remain on the runway.
    The food section was pretty thin. Barby just handled the soup ingredients ;)
    In Finland, we eat a lot of casseroles. Reindeer is not terribly common, first of all it is expensive and most of it is exported.
    And that salmiakki ice cream is really good.
    I think heavy metal is produced in Finland for melancholic reasons. It springs from deep in the Finnish soul landscape. When you look at the heavy metal map, most of the countries that produce are northern, dark and cold countries.

    Thanks for educating yourselves about different parts of the world! Some important facts on Finland outside Barby's video.. In 1906 Finnish women were given the right to vote and stand for election first in the world. Currently there are ten elected parties in the parliament of which five parties form a coalition government. According to the World Happiness Report by the UN Finland is the happiest country in the world for five consecutive years. Since 2018 Finland aims to become carbon neutral by 2035. And most recently, Finland applied NATO membership with Sweden this year. All other NATO members have ratified their membership except Hungary and Türkiye.
    You guys truly understand the true nature of introverted people. ❤

    Our airports rarely close for weather. We are really great at snow removal. We never have snow days here in Finland. Christmas eve we unwrap our gifts and have dinner and sauna time before eating. Christmas day is relaxing, eating leftovers, and another sauna. In the morning we have rice porridge, and one almond in the pot. whoever gets the almond gets their wish to become true. We eat pork, carrot casserole, potato casserole, sweet potato casserole, rutabaga casserole, beetroot salad, salmon, liver casserole, boiled potato, and pickled herring, for sweets we have a star-shaped puffed pastry filled with plum jam(Tähtitorte), glöggi and Piparkakku cookies(gingerbread). There are special Joulu olut( Christmas beers) that come for the holidays.

    🇸🇪 here.
    The whole Scandinavian peninsula (and Finland) is slowly rising. This is a rebounding effect that has taken place ever since the latest ice age ended about 10,000 years ago and the enormous pressure from the mile-thick ice layer ceased.
    Heavy metal is alive and well in all other nordic countries too 🤘

    A little in depth info between Finland and Estonia. The 2 capital cities of Helsinki (FIN) and Tallinn (EST) are about 50 miles from each other. Finns go to the Estonia for cheaper booze and the estonians go to Finland for better salaries. There are like 20 ferries crossing the bay each day and they are leaving every couple of hours so commuting is very easy, not that expensive either. The trip takes about 2-3 hours, depnds of the ferry. There is also a plan for building a tunnel between these 2 countries.
    And yes they have same national anthems, ofcourse with different lyrics.

    Hi there, a finn here :) Mostly the finnish quietness is about we being comfortable with silence, not necessarily introvertedness. We will gladly talk if you come to talk to us, but we usually won't be the conversation starters. Ofcourse, not everyone is like that, it's just a generalization that works quite well. When it comes to metal, I think the Cold Norther Winter Darkness has a lot to do with our fondness of loud, angry, even nihilistic and satanic music. Most of the times finns are easy to get along with, as we are generally kind and helpful folks, even if we might be a bit suspicious (but curious!) of outsiders. Our summers are short, warm and full of light, so we tend to live more then. Come winter, we shut ourselves to our homes and be cozy.

    I moved to Australia from Finland as a teen, and even now, after many years, I can't shake the Finnish "mannerisms." I'm an extrovert who loves to be alone and do my own thing. Full of contradictions and zero skill for small talk. Can't do it, I am so bad at it. Too blunt for most people. And i have what is called the Finnish stare. (Not called that by me). Apparently, it can make people uncomfortable, lol. I don't understand why others find Finns either rude or weird, as silence during gatherings is normal to me. There's no need for unnecessary trite conversations. I miss home and am returning late this year for a month. 🇫🇮🇫🇮🇦🇺

I'm sure her area has changed a lot being close to the Russian border. Her Mum came from Russia. From what I've heard Finland is ice and snow for 9 months of the year.

    Reindeer in Finland is a bit complicated thing. The translation of reindeer to finnish is usually ”poro”, which is a half domesticated version of reindeer thats exist in northern Finland and Scandinavia. The wild version of it is ”peura”, and that doesn’t exist in Finland. And what makes it even more complicated, ”peura” is also a deer. And those exist in Finland 😵‍💫
