Why my Japanese friend visited Finland again? - Asking his opinion about Finnish lifestyle

[@Shadelio]

Your friend is clearly becoming a Finn at heart if he suddenly likes rye bread :D

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

True haha

[@PalokkaBoy]

I love seeing people outside of Finland realizing that the way we are balanced in this hectic world is taking their time enjoying nature and just being without a busy schedule

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

That's what Finland can offer :)

[@ViljoVihannes]

Your friend is so thoughtful and articulate. Being able to express your feelings and views so uniquely and colorfully is impressive!

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

Nice to hear!

[@tomofasia]

Your friend sounds like a person who would love the kesämökki(summer cottage) lifestyle in Finland, which is a huge part of many people lives. From families of all ages to group of friends tend to love it. Some people like it ”old school” so with as little electricity as possible but there’s nothing wrong with going the modern way as well. To each its own.

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

True, I should take him to Mökki next time (although I wouldn't stay in the traditional one haha)

[@Aurinkohelmi]

@@DAIKIFinlandLife Traditionals tend to be work camps without electricity ja carrying water from the lake ;)

[@valveillen]

Your japanese friend likes to spend holiday the same way i do :) it's cool that people come to finland to wind down

[@iwona917]

And me! I'm going to Finland next week exactly for this reason - to chill. If Finland wants to attract more tourists, I suggest it targets introverts from all over the world. This country is a true introverts' paradise.

[@kathrinkaefer]

I like to hear what visitors think of Finland because it makes me appreciate what we have here more!

[@JanHellqvist]

Thanks for your videos. I like you and your friends giving insights on this odd land and its people. For some strange reason, I feel Finns have that indescribable common something with certain people around the world and Japan is def one of them....and Italy. 👍

[@cinnamontea326]

Thank you for this video. Your friend seems to be very nice and polite😊 I'm afraid in Kamppi also especially at the night time despite the security guards.

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

Thank you for watching!

[@n3var1]

Very interesting insights in this video, thanks!

[@mikrokupu]

Interesting observations! Just one note: 2:42 Finns actually drink less alcohol per head than Europeans on average (YLE News June 10). The consumption has been declining for years, especially younger generations drink less nowadays. But of course, some drink a lot still. Oh yes, we in Finland often forget how rare it is to have an easy access to nature the way we have it here.

It sounds like your friend will be visiting Finland regularly to destress from his current job and the country he is living in. I wish him health and happiness. Ps… I remember arriving in Finland in July and it was only 17C for the days. My daughter and I dressed like a winter’s day in Sydney. 😂😂 We have visited in winter as well and coped very well. It was late December but no snow.

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

Haha yeah. Also, he bought different tablets from Appteekki so this trip was meant to destress and recover literally :)

[@finnishculturalchannel]

That was a lovely interview. Outside Finland's few larger cities quite a lot of Finnish tourism is centered around the nature and wildlife experience and relaxation. There are E.g. 41 national parks in Finland with various well-kept hiking routes and E.g. popular guided tours focusing in birding for bird enthusiasts. During the winter the snow, cold and darkness with the Northern Lights are tourist attractions for some, but also the silence. And if someone likes sunlight, the winter sun can get blinding bright when it reflects from the snow, like it often does when the darkest months have passed. That larger beer can (0,5 L) doesn't really play a factor in alcohol consumption compared to the smaller can. That 0,5 liter equals roughly to a pint (tuoppi in FInnish), which is a basic beer unit when serving beer. The alcohol related questions are asked in health check, because even modest alcohol use can effect health, if person has some medical conditions. It's not just a question of finding out whether person is an alcoholic or not.

[@Qimelody]

That salmon soup sounds like Bouillabaisse, which is a French dish.

[@jimleon7894]

Lovely conversation.

[@MsNamutenya]

Daiki san, olet todella hyvä haastattelija!

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

Kiitos paljon!

[@Giggelitesille]

Thanks for the video.

[@squidcaps4308]

Metro+tram combo is the most efficient way to get around in Helsinki, definitely recommend getting used to that. Buses are used when there is no tram or metro lines where you are going but there is nothing like metro+tram when it comes to efficiency and speed, you don't need to check schedules at all during the day, and even at nights they operate with such frequency that average wait times are short, few minutes.

[@TheNismo777]

I'm glad you 2 enjoy the not so busy lifestyle that we have over here :)

Old public saunas have their own nice ambience. Here in Tampere eg Rajaportin sauna in Pispala 👍

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

That's indeed a great sauna :)

[@ubersausage8866]

NO WAY. I recognize that little roof on the right side and the square bushes. Are you in the Hesperia park? I ride my bike to school past that little playground during spring/summer!

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

Joo, Töölönlahden vieressä!

[@JariMattiK]

You guys can just take a metro in vuosaari and go to the sipoonkorven kansallispuisto, theres a cabin you can grill your meals and sleep for free in a forest, theres a lake too where you can swim.

[@JariMattiK]

and whatever you want to know more about this area, just ask.. if you want to see world war history bunkers, caves etc.. heres a lot

[@kiitos12345]

Your friend has a cool wrist watch!

[@tkmy5005]

「あぁ！わかるー！」って内容やったりじろーの着眼点や分析が見事で見入ってしまったわ（笑）

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

あなたも次は冬にお越しください！

[@yorkaturr]

I agree with the point about more bike availability. Bike lanes are one of the hottest topics in Helsinki politics because some people oppose bike lanes with every cell they have, and everyone who is advocating for more more bikes or user friendly bike lanes is labeled as a communist or whatever nasty thing you can think of, especially on the Internet. So I guess companies are holding back for that reason.

[@rehustaja]

I think he would like Seurasaari if he haven´t been there yet

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

Next time! :)

[@victoreem2]

"do finns consume alchol alot?" me watching this while drinking beer: 😐

[@jackboomslang5646]

Are swimming halls not that common in Japan?

[@DAIKIFinlandLife]

Not as common as here!

[@eilasiren]

Tämä Akusoli mainos on ärsyttävä, kun sitä ei voi edes ohittaa.

[@squidcaps4308]

uBlocker Origin niminen extension/add-on/plug-in (eri selaimet käyttää eri nimiä...). Ei tartte katella mainoksia. Ite en nää mainoksia yleensä ollenkaan, menee helposti viikko ilman yhtään ainutta koko internetissä. Yks parhaita ratkaisuita ikinä on ollut poistaa ihan kaikki mainokset, ne ei lisää muuta kuin tuskaa siitä mitä sulla ei ole... Tuo uBlocker siis nimensä mukaan estää mainoksia näkymästä ollenkaan, ei vain youtubessa vaan joka paikassa. Sivut lataa nopeammin, ei tartte klikkailla pop-uppeja, ei tartte pysäyttää auto-play videoita jne. Se on ainut oikea tapa käyttää internettiä. Se on ilmainen ja luotettava, mulla ei ole osaa eikä arpaa sen firman kanssa, oon vaan käyttäny sitä jo... 5 vuotta, sitä ennen käytin AdBlockeria varmaan 10 vuotta.

サウナと森は良いですね。でも、フィンランドで銃を撃たなければ見逃してね 。
