Our Reaction to Japanese guy visits Finland for the first time 🇫🇮

Hello! :)

[@matshjalmarsson3008]

Scandinavia and Finland are about at the same latitude as Alaska, depending on where in Canada it''s a bit further north so there are longer times of dark in the winter and longer times of light in summers

[@torpmorp1324]

Finland is warmer due to Golf Current and Föhn winds.

[@matshjalmarsson3008]

@@torpmorp1324 Sweden more so, and Norway even more (naturally), but I wasn't talking of the cold but the long times of sun and darkness. Still it can get pretty darn cold, in the middle of Sweden, I've experienced -30 C.

It is Helsinki

[@leopartanen8752]

Whitehorse, the capital of the Yukon Territory is pretty much the same latitude as Helsinki. 😊

[@jupehe5703]

Above the Polar Circle there's 58 days without seeing the sun, that time is called "kaamos". There is some light in the sky though so it's not completely dark.

[@hextatik_sound]

It is lingonberry with reindeer.

Saku Koivu is not from Helsinki, but from Turku :) I have seen quite a few japanese people having small percentages of Finnish in their dna testing. I think it is equivalent of many Finns getting native percetanges like mesoamerican or inuit. Not of course meaning people have those ethnicities in theis recent acestry, but that there are some ancent similarities between these groups. This was a good vdeo. He spoke good finnish!

Salmon soup is easy to make! You can also use other firm, fatty fish that doesn't smell too fishy. The end result is a simple, multi-hued soup, where you can recognize the clean flavors of cream, dill, carrot, potato, and mild salmon. Simply put, the flavor combination will blow you away. (when you get the soup balanced)

Kiitos. ❤

[@jarmopaakkonen2045]

Saku Koivu was from Turku, not Helsinki.

[@MaxSujyNorden]

I know I wrote it on screen.

I have chrismas bread now, it's baked with cardamon and cinnamon, and raisins. With christmas brown cheese, a sweet cheese with spices.❤

It´s Helsinki not Helsinski .

[@MaxSujyNorden]

I'm French-Canadian, I can't pronounce well, lol!

The winters in Helsinki are mostly just wet and cold, Finnish food is mostly bland, discrimination towards people of African origin among the highest in Europe, spousal abuse too, alcoholism, highest rate of drug related deaths in people under 25 in Europe, etc. Helsinki might seem nice, Lapland too, but that’s the tourism side. Source: I’m Finnish. Also; eukonkanto and all that quirky stuff is something almost _nobody_ does here, never, ever, but somehow it’s always mentioned because some hicks in a rural town do it.

Who hurt you? :D

[@MaxSujyNorden]

Never go to America, Europe, Africa, or Asia, basically don't even travel. If you can't handle Finland, you can't handle anywhere else :)
