So do people have fun I’m very confused I love your videos about Estonia but it doesn’t seem like anything is fun at all. They can’t speak against authority No small talk Can’t talk to co workers Any emotions shown is public is frowned upon Can’t flirt with anybody Can’t barely even shake hands I just don’t understand how anything works at all Like what is even a party about it seems like business meetings

When Soviet union came they took property away from ppl, u were allowed to have only a little, example estonian could have only 1horse farm, they feared that if there are 2many wealthy estonians this could lead to strong opposition and rebellion, so when soviet union ended goverment started to give back the property to ppl that was stolen by russia Cause of that even middle class can have a house they wouldn't be able to afford

Pakistan allows a special resident permit called 'Pakistan Origin Card' which allows to travel and reside freely in Pakistan. It is similar to a permanent resident card in Europe.

@@MananAnwar This is hardly believable. We have no written records from the pre-Christian time (that is, pre-13th century), and other methods of investigation yield no detailed data about folk customs and beliefs. Pre-Christian traditions are therefore impossible to reconstruct. Your video is first and foremost about the 19th century traditions, but one can safely assume that some elements go back to more distant past. Otherwise, nice attempt, and thank you.

Even before what i noticed is how expensive clothes are in Estonia. It was the case back then and it is now. I dont even know how it's possible but clothes and footwear in Estonia is often 2-3x more expensive than even in Sweden or Germany for example. I recently bought sneakers from a swedish web store and for the price that i got two pairs of them i would be lucky to get one pair here. It's absurd. Another one that is really expensive here is housing. Even hotels are expensive. And im not talking about 5 star Hilton in the middle of the capital. Im talking about a dingy, barebones hotel close to Estonia's border at the other side of the country. They're so expensive that often it would be cheaper to just rent an empty, furnished apartment there for a week or more.

We don't lack emotions, but we just don't like to show them in public. On the fines, the purpose of them is not to collect money or pay off the police, but to be a punishment. And to get roughly equal punishment to somebody who is a millionaire or to somebody who is a pensioner, it absolutely makes sense in my opinion to have the payment be proportional to income. On the coffee times, for many people, me included, NATO coffee also was a thing, a once-in-a-lifetime coffee moment when Finland officially joined NATO. Btw, the flag proportions on the video are not correct (the cross is way too thin). The law actually requires the flags to be to the specification, and actually somebody who uses as a Finnish flag a flag that clearly differs by color or measures clearly from the one set in the law is to be fined. I'm not making this up, it's the law 26.5.1978/380 8 §. I doubt anyone would fine based on a video, but the law on the flag in general is quite strict.

One of the main reasons for excessive coffee drinking is the same as with excessive alcohol consumption. Prohibition. The crown tried several times to ban coffee, but failed. And every time it became more important. There was at least three instances when this happened.

prohibitions were attempted along other limitations: 1756 - 1792. Full ban was tried several times, some years at the time. 1943 Finland was completely dry due to war efforts.

The crucial thing about the baby box was not necessarily just the box itself, but that to get it expecting mothers had to visit (free) pre-natal clinics. To this day, to get the box you need to visit a maternity and child health clinic before your 18th week of pregnancy.
