Personal opinion, some people disregard a bide because they don't know what personal cleaning or higiene is after having sex or just by pooping. These people should go to Japan and check their toilets.. I personally like the hose idea and I would use it for sure but not for drinking water from it 😂

08:25 - The doors in Finland open from inside to OUT because to provide FAST EXIT. Mainly to minimize casualties from a burning building. When the doors open OUT it is more natural with the momentum you have fleeing from the fire. I've seen many news reports of foreign Night Club fires where people GET STUCK at entrance doors because they opened IN. People try to flee from the fire and they are panicking and pushing people up against the door you should pull in order the get out... Entrance/exit doors should open OUT everywhere! Common sense.

Hey, live recklessly & try the bidet! In my experience, people who've always used toilet paper are VERY hesitant to try one (especially men). But, once you do, you love, love it because you are REALLY clean. In fact health officials say that using a bidet reduces irritation "down there" which causes hemorrhoids & infections. When I hosted my family's holiday gathering after getting a bidet toilet installed & explained to my family how to use it, they were either amused or horrified. Some of them were embarrassed even with my explanation. And even tho I had written directions (w/pictures) the guys all chose the toilet paper.

@@TeppoHaapoja Good question. I use a small personal flannel used solely for drying the bulk of my butt and my gentlemanly danglies. Doing it slightly standing up prevents it going near the anus. The flannel will be damp but not pooey. I use the flannel folded twice so it is more like a pad. Only use toilet paper on the small area around the anus. This stops the paper getting wet and giving way. The flannel pad is left to dry on a low shelf next to the pan and can be reused and put in the next laundry load. I always wash the spray with soap after use then wash my hands. It is undoubtedly the cleanest way "to go". Guests are offered thicker paper hand towels and, if they are not Finnish, they are reminded to throw them in the bin and not down the pan. Hint: Use gentle spray directed up and starting from the front, working from the perineum and then towards the anus. Don't let water spay anything other than your skin otherwise you will wet the floor.. You can increase the water pressure as you finnish off.

In new homes the floor heating is the most common heating method in every room, not just sanitary areas. Radiators are rarely seen in new Finnish homes and ceiling heating systems have always been quite uncommon.

Anne Junkkarinen they're also safer. Businesses are required to have outward opening doors because it's easier to push in an emergency, especially if there's crowding behind you. Here in the states, it's common to have a screen door as well, and I think that's why front doors tend to open inward - it's impossible to open outward if there's another door there.

The doors open outward are safe. Sometime in 1800s at a Christmas service in a church someone dropped a candle on the floor. Most churches in Finland are wooden. Panic spread among the congregation. They thought a fire had started and wanted to get out of the church. The doors opened inwards and as the crowds pushed to the doors they couldn't open them. There was no fire but several people were trampled to death. Since then it's been a law in Finland that doors have to open outwards.

It is the way the keys are coded. The front door (or other common doors) is coded so that every key in the building opens it. And every other key is coded so that no one's key can get to your apartment. It can also have like different zones and groups. Like your key can open your stair A door and your own apartment and common sauna or roof entrance but not stair B or C. Just a matter of coding the keys.

Open your door and above or below the locking mechanism you have a tiny switch. If the switch is up, the door locks. If the switch is down, the door doesn‘t lock. It closes and looks like it‘s locked but it opens when you push the lever down. No keys needed then!

1950s houses or older did have double windows in Finland. Since then it's always been TRIPLE windows - typically in the 80s there were three frames with one glass each. Nowadays the most common type is one with two frames / three sheets of glass. It's also possible to have a three-glass window with only one frame.

It got down to 4 degrees celsius a few nights while I was in Australia, and I was so. so. so. so. cold, because there was no insulation and no heater and my blankets weren't meant for near-freezing temps!

Doors opening this way probably make sense in winters with strong winds (I guess you may have them). Wind pushing on the door this way make them close more and insulates from cold air. The other way the wind would push doors to open and potentially through tiny spaces cold air could get inside a house.

I think it’s a emergency exit. At least nowadays there are stright regulations on which way the doors have to open even inside a shop. Everything should go towards the exit so it’s easy and fast to go. Might have been this way always as most doors in Finland open out. Everything else is a plus 🙂

Fascinating, really enjoyed this and part 1. Would love to visit Finland some day - in summer :D - I worship the sun. Btw, in Cyprus, where I live, the homes are very poorly insulated (probably because we think of the island as a 'hot' country'), so we all freeze in winter. Not surprised that Oz has the same problem

You lived in Sydney? We moved from Melbourne to Sydney 20 + years ago. Melbourne is 2-3C colder than Sydney in the winter, so houses generally have good heating (but not double glazed windows). We moved to Sydney in July, which is the middle of Winter and froze! Only one house that we looked at (out of about 50) had proper heating. I think that this is called denial.

Currently bidets are ALL the rage cause you use less toilet paper which many people are hoarding! I live in SF so we prefer the Japanese toilet seat which also heats the toilet seat and dries your tush (I live in an old apt building and as a renter I can’t add a Japanese toilet seat but I have used them! ). We also have some houses that have heated floors but I personally have radiators which means knowing how to knit wool hats and fingerless gloves comes in handy! You probably have great beautiful wool, we do too but it’s very pricey. I’ve loved your 2 Finnish videos.

People do have proper gardens in Finland but the gardening season is pretty short, we live on the same latitude than Alaska. Balconies/terraces with movable glasses are popular nowadays, I love my own "second livingroom". Yes, it's typical Finns have their neighbors closer than in you in US, though it's common to have a summer house in the country, often far away from the other people.

Hi. What is the main source of energy for electricity in Finland?
@Tzerba1
@Tzerba1 4 жыл бұрын
Short answer would be nuclear but that is not the hole truth. At the moment 33% is nuclear, 20% hydroelectric, 1% wind, fossil about 30% and biomass (waste etc.) 16%. Finland also buys electricity from Norway and Sweden. One modern nuclear plant has been delayed over 10 years. It should be online year from now, that’s 2021, and estimates are that it woud cover 15% off total electricity production. That, and plans to invest heavily on windpower (both sea coast and on ground) are going to cut the need for fossile based production at least by half. Other technologies for heating are replacing need for electricity all the time. Mainly geothermal heating. Both as a individual housing solution and large scale geothermal powerplants.

Bidets are not a perfect toilet paper system. But they do help cut down on the hassle of lugging toilet paper home. Personally, I cut down from about four rolls a month to one. Do not like the feeling of 'wet' so typically I will use a babywash cloth to wipe. I have no sewing skills. Ripped up old tshirts great for camping but become unravled in wash machines. Baby washcloths I buy the ugly ones on sale. Easier to wash and dry than adult sized wash cloths. As for toilet paper in the sewer systems, many municipalities aging out and extra taxpayers money to unclog. And all sewer systems get treated with lots of chemicals... Several years ago, I bought a squeeze bottle bidet online. My first attempts in a very old awkward bathroom floorplan were leaving me hating the thing. Several momths later, I moved to another apartment with a very much different floorplan and am happy I am keeping the bidet. Anyways. Just a few thoughts on what is a newer concept for many people. Some can easily and do convert. For others, it is not for them.

We don’t discuss squat toilets...bah.) the Japanese have upped the game with those fabulous electronic toilet seats...you WANT one, trust us. But seriously, if you got poop on your hands, you’d wash it...right? Your elbow? Sure..your foot, the same...everywhere, for that matter...but suddenly if it’s your butt, it’s strange?
