Happy to see you still enjoy living in Finland after so many years. The taxation can be quite high, but it provides tangible things that everyone benefit from. There are a lot of wealthy people in Finland who have publicly said that they are happy to pay taxes and contribute back to the society.

[@ChicoMuya]

Exactly!! I know many places where people have no idea where the taxes go. We are indeed blessed!

[@Fortuna88828]

I am so glad that you live here. You with your big smile bring sunshine and positive vibes everywhere you go to. ❤

[@nizefg3238]

As a Finn, thank you for your respectful and kind words. I also think that your analytical approach is balanced. There is one thing I would like to challenge though: recent studies (and I know at least one TED talk) show that a person is more likely to become rich in the Nordic countries compared for example to the US. Our flat social structure makes it possible to make it financially even if you were not born into a wealthy family.

[@ChicoMuya]

Thanks for the kind words! Yup, the part about not being rich in a Nordic country was more of a guess. Send me some links if you have any! 😁

[@Nikolas-Abdul-Hamid]

Thats bunch of bs. Most people in finland struggle financially.

Nice video. I miss Finland sooo much😢. I worked there for two years, 2021 and 2022, and it was the best two years of my life. My high lights are : No crime. This is a major one for me and top of the highlights Seeing snow for the first time. Experiencing late night sun. I didn't like the darkness in winter though. Cleanliness. Pedestrian crossing rule is respected by motorists. I had to quickly learn to stop to give pedestrians right of way unlike in my home country, South Africa. 😅 Everything works and we'll organized. To list but a few. The downside for me was the living expenses is very high as well as loneliness.

I thought taxes were really high in Finland until I lived in Denmark and Sweden. Coming back to Finland felt like money would crawl back into my bank account 😂😂

[@m3m3sis]

As a finn, and unemployed etc negatives, i think we still need to hear that our darkest is still relative. And we are forgetting sisu, stop whining, ask for help.

[@esasuhonen722]

Thank you again for the great video. Many good things are taken for granted, and it's good to recognize those things that are going well. I also enjoy listening to your videos to improve my English skills.

[@ChicoMuya]

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words. I’m glad I can help a little 😁

I can imagine the darkness of winter really gets you when you come from somewhere where day and night is almost always divided 12/12hrs. And yes the nordic, especially Finnish, winters are COLD. I'm Danish, winters don't get that cold, but we have the darkness. What makes up for it is our summers, t-shirt weather and late evenings so bright that you don't worry about kids on the playgrounds at 10pm.

[@bdmenne]

Keep inviting foreign immigrants and you won’t be letting your kids go to the park anymore.

[@ChicoMuya]

The darkness can be rough 😅 I’m visiting Copenhagen this month!

[@BenjaminVestergaard]

@@ChicoMuya great timing, temperatures seem to be picking up this week. With the wind and fog that comes with changing weather. I spend most of my daily life in the western outskirts of greater Copenhagen. If you want to see how well multiple cultures can live alongside, I'd recommend that you spend an afternoon out here. It's not as pretty and exciting as midtown, but you can get a proper middle eastern style kebab. (City Kebab in Ishøj is TikTok famous). Anyway, whatever you choose for your iterinary, hope you have a great time 🙂✌️

[@neuroleptika]

I think you need to visit Norway this summer to compare, bc to me as a swede its night and day

[@bdmenne]

Why do you suggest visiting Norway? Especially as you are from Sweden and he is in Finland?

[@neuroleptika]

@@bdmenne because if he thinks Finland is great then Norway must be like dying and going to heaven, Finland is objectively the worst nordic nation with depressing culture, alcoholism, bland architecture and food, monotone nature just flat and one kind of tree forever and very cold autistic closed off people that all more or less "gave up" already as children, Finland is like Belarus but expensive and with less culture

[@neuroleptika]

@@bdmenne and sweden is midlevel good, its so diverse in (native)culture and nature that its hard to call it one country, maybe you hate one part but love 64 other areas so its real difficult to have any opinion on how great sweden is or isnt until you did more travel than the average swede ever does in a lifetime. Norway on the other hand, its also diverse in dramatic ways same as sweden but more of it is so much on the positive side, its simply very hard to find a shitty area of norway

[@ChicoMuya]

Done deal! I’ll make a plan to do that

[@bdmenne]

@@neuroleptika interesting. Thanks. I want to visit all three Nordic countries. Are there only 3 or is there more?

Hello from Finland.

[@tonisuomilqmmi7116]

may i ask u can study here also and ? and i would like to meet u in summer i only have around 1-2 year time left in here so would be cool.. say city and time in summer

[@riittasaarinen7288]

Public transportation is generally good in major cities but if you live even a little bit outside a city then you need a car nowadays. Back in the 60s and 70s there were still quite a few buses several times a day to take you to the city or elsewhere in the countryside but now they more or less cater to school kids taking them to and fro school. If you are lucky there might be a service bus for the elderly once a week so they can run their arrends. 7:01

[@bdmenne]

They don’t care about race there because the population is largely dominant homogenous. They aren’t insecure. Switch it up with more chaotic diversity, they will then become more exclusive and even hostile. We are still animals.

[@Teknopottu]

Seems to me the smaller the city is the happier it's people are. Big city has big city problems.

[@kathrinkaefer]

For me, the healthcare system is one of the worst things about Finland. I have stayed twice in a Finnish hospital and was treated very badly. I now have PTSD due to medical trauma and there are no consequences for any of the people who caused it through their incompetence. I now avoid going to the doctor, ever. It feels like they actively avoid helping you and do anything to get you to go away without treating you. I've never come across such uncaring healthcare professionals and I don't understand why they are so lacking in human compassion and pride in their work.
