Don't we all love online-shopping? Aliexpress is definitely a place where you can shop when you don't want to spend too much money :) But does it have anything good connected with Finland? Find it out in this video!

Certainly a fairly random video 🙂 You look wonderful here , Miss. I hope life is treating you well.

[@AlenaTalks]

Thank you!☺️

That wooden cup is kuksa👍☕

[@AlenaTalks]

Thank you, I need to remember it! :)

@@AlenaTalks but be careful when you use that word, because word kuksia means totally different thing 😳😂 it means when man and woman.. you know 😂✌️

@@arska77 oh god🙈😂

[@Aurinkohirvi]

No confusion if used used in singular. "Nyt mun tekee kauheesti mieli kuksia!" Completely alright in a souvenier shop. But elsewhere something unexpected might follow up.

I think the golden age of shopping for cheap products from China has ended in Finland. Now you have to pay taxes and customs even for the smallest of purchases. I guess it was a bit unfair for the retailers in Finland/EU and the delivery costs weren't distributed that fairly either. Ten years ago I used to buy something from China almost every month. =D

[@AlenaTalks]

I didn’t know, it’s really unfair!

Speaking about face masks, restrictions have been eased in Finland, you can wear a face mask or not, you decide. And if you wish you can again go dancing and singing karaoke - but fortunately you don't have to!. 😌 Border controls are still in place but hopefully they are eased soon as situation in Russia also gets better. Then you can come to Finland and get that flag! But most likely it would still have been produced in China. 🤔 Hmm, didn't think I had a Finnish flag - or any other flag to that matter. But then remembered that I have inherited an older Christmas tree ornament which has several small flags on a ribbon. So there, have a Finnish flag and many more. 🎄

[@AlenaTalks]

Yeah, I’ve heard about this great news! Hopefully, there will be good news for me too soon🤞🏻

[@Aurinkohirvi]

Well, I was kinda interested what might be found. Maybe reindeer pelts, hand crafted knives or do-it-yourself saunas. Or mobile phones or vintage computers and displays. Or some computer games. But not even designer clothes or canvasses. That looked like very cheap stuff. I don't know, I haven't online bought ANYTHING from China. Maybe I should try. That markka might be real, easy one could have bought those back then AFTER change to euro when they became practically worthless. Never seen penni that old, it's possible, but a collector item definitely.

[@AlenaTalks]

Yeah, usually people go to aliexpress not for expensive stuff :) but sometimes it’s much cheaper to buy some things there which are also sold in shops in our countries. For example, you can buy a protective screen glass for a phone for only 1-2 euros there, and it will be the same good quality as in other stores. Tried it myself :)

[@Aurinkohirvi]

@@AlenaTalks Yep-yep. One can make savings there for sure.

[@TonttuTimo]

Both coins are definitely fake, there has never been a Finnish 2 penniä coin. The design on the other coin matches the 1963 design of 10, 20 or 50 penniä coin, but those should all be gold-colored.

[@AlenaTalks]

Thanks! Interesting to know!

Футболки с флагом Финляндии с Алика - что может быть лучше?)))

Could you do without make-up`. I'm sure. Minä olen varma että olet kauniimpi ilman meikkiä.

[@AlenaTalks]

I doubt that make-up anyhow affects the things I’m talking about🤷🏼‍♀️

[@pexster1988]

@@AlenaTalks I am so sorry. I love you and your channel. I didn't want to be an asshole toward you.

Finnish flag and the Lion with sword and roses are mostly used by Finnish Government, flag days etc. formal and in sport and most in my favorite sport - ice hockey. Like elsewhere (ecpeciaallly in England) those who call themselves "true people" i.e. nationalists (no in Russia. Alena is not part of western propaganda) Finnish Lion has become mark of people I do not like. Vittu vihaan sitä (if you understand) that symbols I love and we have to fight against Soviet to get these and now some f'cking idiots are trying to get that away.

Suomen leijona edustaa Suomea, joka on tunnustetusti hyvä maa. Ei sitä pysty yksilöt pilaamaan :)

To me they’re just symbols of Finland, I prefer not to apply anything too political to them.

[@pexster1988]

@@AlenaTalks I love Finnish Lion and I love avyrithing Finnish but I don't hate yet our national symbols are stolen by those who hate. P.S. I hate to admit that I say r*ss* when ROC plays. But r*ss* is one who is r*ss* even if fried. P.P.S. I love you Russian people. Stay strong!
