I went to a party once...and a Finnish girl who was there asked me why i was so quiet ... I must have been very quiet🤐

What I learned from this video:
Living in Finland is basically: hang out in Saunas, naked, with friends. Drink alkohol. Enjoy silence.

Finland sounds like heaven to me tbh.

Apparently, I’m a Finnish woman. That’s funny, I thought I was a Colombian man.

@doczero1296 7 years ago

I had a finnish friend and literally whenever I'd ask her what are her plans for today, she'd always respond with 'going to the sauna'

Finland looks like an Introvert's paradise.

finnish her

I'm Finnish and I didn't have too high expectations for this, but I think she was a great choice to represent Finnish women and I died a little at how relatable she was, even when I've never been in a relationship

@Roddy_Zeh 7 years ago

I'm not Finnish, but the part about silence spoke to me on a spiritual level...

”Treat her like a friend”... BE her friend, goddammit!

I dated a Finnish girl when I was on Erasmus Exchange over there back in 2013. My jaw is still on the ground how realistic this is.., Miss this kind of communication :p never change Finnish ladies, never change

You know you're dating a Finnish woman when she says perkele a lot.

@SK-nw4ig 7 years ago

As a finnish woman, I did not understand what was wrong with the small talk-part. Seemed perfectly normal to me. Later I realized...

This is legit stuff.

I did a trip thought Finland for 10 days and it's true that silence is gold. They're great people; very kind and friendly

I enjoy the little smirk she has on her face when the guys are challenging each other to a drinking contest. "Okay, you badasses. I'm the only one who wins here." Also, her smile when she realizes her boyfriend has tried the licorice and can't stand it.

As a Brazilian who lived and studied in Finland for 2 years, THUS IS SO DAMN TRUE! The only exception to bragging is when they get drunk: they actually do start "bragging" about how good life in Finland is and so on, but that's a very specific thing to point out.

@ingridsaari5927 7 years ago

As a Finn, this was quite weird to watch because this entire video is just so true! Anyway, I've been waiting for this for a long time, just so I could see how relatable it would be, and you succeeded 😄☺️

Yep, "Silence is Gold, Talk is Silver" that is totally accurate! 👌

Was in Helsinki two month ago. Silence. She’s everywhere. Even kids cry really quietly. And this me, Russian girl with loud voice 🤦🏼‍♀️ I feel really uncomfortable (because of me, not finns). But I’m in love with that country. Thanks “CheapSleep” and one guy who gifted to me three days ticket (any transport), second guy who ordered taxi (couldn’t use uber, so I cried and he asked me maybe I need some help. It was too kind) when I lated to my bus and any beautiful (they all soooo beautiful!) finns for making my trip amazing.
