For context: at the time of shooting, I was doing my PhD (on ant behavior) in Tucson, Arizona, with often 42°C in the summer and barely any flowing water or real forests around.

As a swede, I need more context, did you move there recently? what is your relationship to this geography?

@@madcow5833 I was on a multi-week trip to the Nordic countries for two scientific conferences + personal time. I had never been there but have always been fascinated. I grew up in Germany. Sorry for the lacking context in the video, it was unforeseeable that the algorithm would like it more than the other videos of mine, where I explain more.

@@stefan_popp Haha, the algorithm works in mysterious ways! I would have guessed you had more exposure to the nordic countries, which is probably what confused me about what confused you :) Either way, I hope people and insects alike welcomed you and that your experience was pleasent but exciting!

Correction. Finns do not eat in the sauna. No way. Maybe drinking beer sometimes.

Pretty nice to watch some foreign dude come to Finland to trek around the forests and go for a sauna. Hope you enjoyed your stay!

Best way to experience Finland. Have a stroll in the forest and go sauna.

Finland is located at the same latitude as Alaska, luckily the climate is milder. In summer the houses easily get too warm inside when the temperature rises above a certain level. Every summer people complain and papers have headlines like how the cool your home :) Proper aircon is rare but getting more common, my own city Helsinki has introduced a "district cooling" system. The cooling systems will be needed more and more in the future, unfortunately.

@stefan_popp 4 ай бұрын

Yeah, it's all about what you're used to. District cooling sounds like one of these sensible and effective collectivistic things nordic countries do :D. Hopefully a model for the rest of the world...

That red berry was taikinamarja. It looks a lot like cassis (punainen vinimarja/punaherukka/redcurrant) but it's tasteless.

@vyznev 3 ай бұрын

A.k.a. mountain currant, _Ribes alpinum_. The Finnish name translates as "doughberry", because they look like redcurrants (_R. rubrum_) but have about as much flavor as bread dough. :D

Well, history of Finland is long but we led a more or less peaceful life so there maybe isn't that much to tell. 😂

@stefan_popp 4 ай бұрын

True! Since history is written by the victors, there's no history without wars ;). I personally would have loved to hear more about the 'prehistory' of the country.

There is a ton of culture and traditions there, but sadly most Finns have no idea about it. Finns used to live quite a magical life which involved daily spells (used to ward off threats and protect one's cattle/chores) and strict following of the seasons. Each task had a certain day/week when to do it (as otherwise it would bring bad luck/destroy the crops), and each celebration had certain rituals to appease the old gods. Etc.
