[@janus1958]

I have to say that the sauna in the video is a far cry from the one I used growing up in Northern Minnesota during the 1960's. Ours was just a bit more "rustic"; Built into the corner of an old standalone garage, with bare cement walls, wood stove, and grayed wood benches.

[@AleksiHimself]

Thanks for the comment janus1958!

[@holoholopainen1627]

Many say that MINNESOTA - IS just like Finland !

[@Shadelio]

I read an article in the Helsinging Sanomat or Yle or some other news publication of ours and turns out, those are not integrated cutting boards. Because it is so hard to wash them after each use and the cuts you make on them by accident are prime bacterial locations, even if wood itself is generally speaking pretty anti-septic. Their actual intended purpose? Is to roll dough and make bread and other pastries and baked good on them before you bake them! So. Get yourself a separate cutting board and start using those wooden trays for their intended pupose: Baking.

No, we don’t have the drying rack in America; the first Airbnb I rented in Helsinki was a very small, compact studio and I thought it was a clever use of a tiny space… then the next and the next etc…it’s so great.

I don't know how I survived without a sauna before I moved here. Warms you up in the winter. Cools you down in the summer. We have the Iloq now, but I preferred the Abloy. The Iloq doesn't always open on the first try. Kind of annoying.

[@AleksiHimself]

Good stuff! I've noticed the same with ILOQ. If you don't do it right, you may have to try again. :D

[@nyckathenomad]

Welcome to the world of entrepreneurs, Alexi! I loved this video! About the keys... here in Brazil, when we move to a new house or apartment we usually call maintenance to exchange the old keys, for safety. Although safety is not an issue in Finland, do you use to change the keys when you move to a different apartment (the keys of the apartment where you’re arriving)?

[@AleksiHimself]

The old tenant returns the keys which are given to the new owner. That's it!

[@manuhonkanen2111]

Abloy that are mostly used keys can be duplicated only by locksmiths

[@GGrandi]

In many house cooperatives (Taloyhtiö) the locks are electronic and the keys are programmable, so the house maintenance company can easily re-program the keys.

[@williamprather1811]

Hyvää Loppiaista!

[@AleksiHimself]

Kiitos William!

If I ever had to do a Finnish personality test, I'd fail the sauna portion 😂 I struggle with heat.

[@AleksiHimself]

It takes some adjustment at first but totally learnable!

[@1_viewer]

. I do not like sauna. I kind of like old smoke saunas cause they are sacred seeming but not modern saunas at all.

I'm still have doubts on the electrical key when it comes to the power going out, I rather stick with the traditional key lock

That's actually the trick with key: when you turn the key, it will produce the electricity needed so the power can't really go out.

Why the Finnish people don’t like to use twigs of birch (vihta) in sauna? It’s so much nicer to hit yourself with vihta.

[@AleksiHimself]

We use them only in Juhannus (midsummer).

[@MM-kz9pd]

@@AleksiHimself why only in Juhannus..? We pick them up for the entire winter (in most post soviet counties). In our view, sauna experience is incomplete without vihta. Then you can go outside and roll in the snow. So nice. Just a bit surprised that Nordic Finns don’t do it or don’t like sauna this way.

[@gashix]

@@MM-kz9pd At least in our summerplace we use vihta(we say 'vasta' in northern Savonia)through the whole summer, not only in Juhannus.

I had a ldr with a Finnish girl for a while. then broke it off because she was more deadly than the Finnish weather.

[@AleksiHimself]

Want to share what happened?

[@capasi5380]

@@AleksiHimself it was just a toxic relationship. That lasted for about 3 years. He really wasn't interested but she always acted like she did . and that made me think it was seriously and i put too much focus into it and it took my focus off from studies and all. And she also were cheating few times , so i got fed up with it and broke it off. Before that I was too attached and didn't want to break up but after i did, soon i realized that's the best decision. I won't blame her actions on all Finnish. Some people are just like that, they treat ldr like a joke. She is the reason why i looked up your channel to learn Finnish. like many many years ago . and i gave up learning after knowing how hard this language is, plus it's not going to be really use full for me. But hey one good thing is that, i found your channel and even from the beginning I've always think you're a nice guy. Lappi is always a goal in my mind so one day maybe I'll go there and explore.
