Finland also just made the biggest cruising ship in the world: Icon of the Seas (Royal Caribbean) and two others's will follow. There are many ships build to them earlier too so our dock industry is top notch!

Yes, maternity box is free

[@pen7759]

My grandmom was born 1897, she had a long life 96 yrs. When she was born, Finland was one of the poorest countries in Europe. Women got right to vote 1906, first in Europe, third world wide. People in Finlan have been equally treated centuries and we have had strong women in Finland. I’m sure this is one of reasons behind this developing of Finland. Year 1900 there was only 2.6 million mostly very poor inhabitants in Finland. The first maternity package took place in 1938.

And school lunches for every elementary student has been free since 1940's! :)

[@msaar1303]

It was not just right to vote, it was also right to stand in election too.

Baby box is free, you can either choose it or 170€ in cash, but when calculated in retail prices, the baby box is worth like 250-300€ so taking the box makes more sense.

[@KristinaWes]

... but after a couple of children, you may prefer to take the money, since you'll have multiple couples of same items and more than enough of baby clothing for a year... 🫣😂

[@sket179]

I think 90% take the box. The clothes are great quality and unisex and cool looking.

[@Zarniwooper]

@@KristinaWes we sold the unopened 2nd box in ebay for about €400

[@oh2mp]

@@KristinaWes yep. We took the box for our first two kids but when the third was born, we took the money because we already had enough that stuff the box includes :)

[@washitokusei6801]

The retail price of the contents is irrelevant and some of the things aren't necessary. It's good for the first kid but unless you want the winter coverall in another pattern (the only item that has any potential second hand value) you should go for the money with later kids.

[@sket179]

Many of the inventions were not because we were developed or rich. Baby box was created because many were poor, and kids and mothers were dying from preventable natal care they were not receiving. It was developed during the second world war. You can get the box if you get regular checkups during the pregnancy. The box as a crib is because babies were dying because they didn't have an own bed and parents accidentally rolled over them in their sleep. Finland was poor and agricultural during and after the wars. We needed to pay a lot of reparations to the Soviets. There were many kids born after this period and the government put a lot of effort into education and healthcare.

Greetings from Finland!

Adidas stripes are finnish design too - sold to adidas with some hundres of dollars & a bottle of whiskey

[@katriperttuli427]

Maiju Gebhard invented the drying cabinet just after World War II 1944/45.

[@KristinaWes]

There's an article in Portuguese about the maternity package, if you'll Google: This is Finland, 80 ANOS VIABILIZANDO A IGUALDADE PARA AS CRIANÇAS NA FINLÂNDIA. 😊

[@KristinaWes]

And in many more languages, too - for example, for English, search with words: This Is Finland, maternity package. 😉

Nokia became and electronics company because of the rubber boots. They started making rubber insulated cables and after that the rest was history.

[@undertasty]

I'm SUPER proud of the fact my grandpa was in the Nokia design team that became experts in cable making machinery! He even got an award for his efforts in the field, and went on work trips all over the world to lend his expertise in the 80's and 90's. Soooo you're welcome, world, my awesome grandpa made your hi-tech today possible in his own way.

[@oh2mp]

Rachael is a very nice woman from Texas, USA. She lived many years in Finland in the past.

[@wulfgold]

Xyltyol is a great sweetener. It is also a VERY effective laxative and it's VERY easy to accidentally use too much. Great sugar replacement, be super careful if you use it. You might be in the situation of having to stay at home and sleep in your bath and it works VERY quickly too.

[@akilehtinen482]

Also the Fiskars Scissors are made in small village called Fiskars.. That is for the name of the Scissors

[@KeesBoons]

Baby boxes are distributed in a number of European countries. As far as I know they are free for the parents, and are being paid by taxes in these countries. PS. I still have a Nokia phone :o).

[@bror8228]

Which one...??? I have Nokia XR 21 with 5G, waterproof IP 69K, MIL-STD 810H...and more....

[@KeesBoons]

@@bror8228 Yes, I know there are newer ones, but I still have a 1616 :o).

[@SK-nw4ig]

Could we have a house tour with you guys? :) And see the scenery! :)

[@Guywithaname199]

Did you know that here are more saunas than cars in finland, because everyoune has a one in home.

[@juhanivuorinen6981]

Nokia also makes/made pulp/paper, car tires, computers. TV:ies.

[@XtreeM_FaiL]

Nokian makes tyres not Nokia.

[@realtsarbomba]

​​@@XtreeM_FaiL Nokia makes those tyres. The word Nokian is just conjugation of the word "Nokia" meaning "Nokia's" so when it reads "Nokian renkaat" it literally means "Nokia's tyres" or more colloquially "Tyres (made) by Nokia."

[@XtreeM_FaiL]

@@realtsarbomba Nokian doesn't mean Nokia's. Nokian and Nokia are two different companies.

[@bror8228]

@@XtreeM_FaiL I just bought Nokian tyres 10 Hakkapeliitta and they are absolutely made by Nokia....(dumb ass...)

[@XtreeM_FaiL]

@@bror8228 Nokia hasn't made tyres since the 80s. You got screwed or maybe you don't know how to read. Either way you're the dumb ass. Hakkapeliitta is Nokian Renkaat brand.

[@youngThrashbarg]

Dish drying cabinet was patented in the US, but I guess it never took off there.

[@Morhgoz]

As finn in summer, I hace been in sauns like 4.5 times last week... Not a much, muc is if you have been in sauna more than 7 times in week... Noyhink cleans you as good as sauna! Also no cloyhing or towel in sauna is allowed...

[@jaketzi8816]

I just came from sauna. Luckily i don't have a web cam, i'm in the clothes i was born with.

[@Morhgoz]

@@jaketzi8816 Right way me mate!👍

[@XtreeM_FaiL]

"4.5 times last week." Four and a half times last week?

[@cristianseres1353]

Greetings from Finland! Could you have a look at some poem by Fernando Pessoa in your videos? I think he connects Finnish and Portuguese souls some way. 'Sou um evidado. Logo que nasci fecharam-me em mim, Ah, mas eu fugi.'

[@iskal6790]

I like a lot all videos what i`v seen. Insperes me to seek an school in finland , adult educational place to learn Portuqese ( i hope that is right!!) just to understand what you say , not just read translation . You 2 are awesome !!!! Obrigado para ambos !!??!!

[@robertjonsson5750]

I'm from Sweden and i must say that Fazer chocolate bars tastes better than Marabou.

[@mottee]

I have to agree. Because saying the opposite here in Finland would be considered high treason 😆

[@tonitiikeri1582]

We can make today basically everything we need, essential tech like computers, cars and fruits are imported for need.

[@Morhgoz]

You have to remember that like 100 ago Finland was dirty poor third world country... Like about poorest of European countries etc Also per capita most terrorist attakcs as we did have like a ton of in fighting... But when Soviets atttacked us in 1939 we became one and fought our ancient enemy.... There are beefs like England vs France, thought they are allies now and then there are grudges like Finns vs Russians...

[@RoyalMela]

Well, not poor like you say, but poor in a way "being part of Russian empire because Russia took parts of Sweden, the part currently known as Finland." Although Finland had autonomy under Russian rule, Finland was not poor. In 1929, 12 years after becoming independent, Finland was richer than Spain, Greece, Portugal.. In 1913, despite being part of Russian Empire, Grand duchy of Finland was richer than Norway. ¨ In 1900 Finland was 20th richest country per GDP in the world.

[@Morhgoz]

@@RoyalMela Well, that may be sure, but those riches where hands of few, as most Finnish people at that time were poor farmaers. Industraliton was just starting and didn't start proberly untill after wars...

[@helimustonen8895]

She fotgot one Moomins is also Finnish 😂 and fazer chocolate and other fazer sweet 🇫🇮 ( no faser announse fatser )

[@RoyalMela]

Fiskars scissors in not really an invention. It is just a brand of scissors. Let be it, the greatest scissors ever made, but still they are just a pair of scissors.

[@antti-jussiniemela4324]

Nokia was first a sawmill before anything else. Dishrack is originally a Swedish invention. Flight recorder is really true. Fiskars scissors colour was were due to an accident of mixing colour pastes. Baby pack is also true.

[@juhahaapala6835]

That is not true.. True fighting.. total almost elimination. Finn nation startet just 1917 legaly... but the Finns have been here before.. just like we know alot about your cultural stroughles... and trust me.. there are always struggles..via bacterai and viruses... Maybe to see your kind wound be very different to ours.. but maybe i would like it abit more.. we never know... we can post eacoher stuff it make time
