I'm starting to wish I had been born a Finn. I'm pretty shy, and terrible at small talk. I live in terror of silence falling on a conversation. It's nice to know that in Finnish culture, silences are expected and appreciated.
Lol. It's okay... But it does make people think you're awkward... Even if it's just their own projection... I'm not awkward I'm at peace, you're the awkward one! Perkele...
If you feel like you don't have anything to say you don't need to say anything. (perfect for me). Hope I will be able to go there in 2022 and stay for longer.
Hi Emma, Great video. Loved all the information about Finnish food. Sometime do a video about your life in Australia or your previou life in Ireland. Show us the town, beaches, The Bush, what you are doing for fun etc etc.
So, let't check the list: 1) Silence, there's never enough for me. Done. 2) The Nature, as above. My flat is full of plants. And they keep dying but that's another story. Done 3) Mökki life. The fact I typed "Mökki" correctly says everything. I'm saving every penny because one day I'll buy a mökki in Lapland. Done. 4) Sauna. Don't blame me... never had one! ^^ I have time to recover though, and I will do it but only in Finland! Missing. 5) Finnish food: tried and enjoyed all the things you mentioned (salmiakki ice cream included!) and thanks for have remembered of pulla and korvapuusti this time! Done. 6) I can't ski but I can skate, and my ass can confirm it! Done (half) 7) Alcohol. Pfft. Done. 8) Avanto uinti. Diving deep into icy water and then run to sauna? Sounds great! Where I can do that?. Missing (for now!) 9) Modesty. I'm Jon Snow and I know nothing. Done. Is the exam successfully completed for me? ^^
Am living in Petersburg, but seems i am natural born finnish (spiritually). Please, take me from that damn city, i want to live in the finnish wood cabin rest of my life :D :D ;-)
Happy Kalevala Day :) Still loving the videos. But I doubts Australians can ever learn the Finnish language. We tend to drop vowels when we speak, it seems Suomi add them ..
Aaaaah... blueberry pie. Nothing is better, but rice porridge comes close. As Finnish as blueberry pie could be used instead of as American as apple pie. But did you know that in English speaking countries, or in the USA anyway, blueberry is a bit different berry. If one said "European blueberry," bilberry or whortleberry then that would equal to Finnish mustikka.
Good point on the blueberry actually. They are super different. When I started eating blueberries in Ireland i actually thought they were raw because they tasted different and weren't blue/black inside.
I can perfectly fit into all these things ;) There's just one thing I can't get used to: Finns drink milk with quite every meal (not everyone, but it's a typical Finnish thing). Tried, don't like it. It's OK with breakfast, but then... doesn't sound for me. BTW if you order a blueberry pie in a restaurant in Finland, it's made to order, so it's warm, fresh and really delicious.
Just discovered through Ancestry.com that I have 40% finnish DNA. I guess I should try to learn the language :) Should I bother? Is it too difficult? thanks.
Val Drake you have a 40% chance of learning it. I wouldn’t be surprised if it would all come back to you by activating your Finnish DNA with some Finnish language 😉
Tai voihan heidän yrittäminen joskus palkita, mutta pelkän UA-camn kommentin kautta en itse ainakaan uskois heitä ihan 100 % varmuudella.:-) Kiitos olen puhunut.:-)

I was once in Finland, to visit my friend. I felt in lve with this country, especially countryside. For sure I will come back there.
If you feel like you don't have anything to say you don't need to say anything. (perfect for me). Hope I will be able to go there in 2022 and stay for longer.
I like your way of giving tips, so hearted and feel safe like being in home.. Thanks

Hi there,
Thanks for today's videos. Silence, pauses, quiet holiday, nature, humility....you've just described the essential for me. :-))
😊🤗🤗❤️
So far I'm part Finish, Part Dutch, Part Japonese in mindset ... I'm from Portugal :|
Kiitos! We miss Ur videos

Hahaha yes love it!!! Ice swimming anywhere that has a frozen lake, also it can be dangerous so better to do it with experienced Finns 😅

Master the art of silence, and don't be an asshole. That's a good start.
also you need to be neutral and unsocial to be finnish
