WATCH NEXT: Weird things that are normal in Finland: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZ0_56oW1N8

Wow, there are so many same things that share with Japanese society, such as don’t speak roundly in public, don’t get too close to the others, and be on time! Which is very interesting 🤨

”Finnish streets are so clean”
Kouvola:

I'm form Hungary and here wearing shoes at home or wearing a hat inside is considered rude too 😁 It's so weird that it's considered normal at some places

Falling cows are a pain! They make me late all the time so its totally something that you should watch out for 😅

About punctuality:  I left 15 minutes early for a Finnish concert here in Canada.  I ran into a large bit of road construction but could still make it by 7:30.  I got to the door of the hall at 7:30:31.   I was 31 seconds late.

Tipping in the USA is ridiculous. Employers are permitted to pay low wages and we are expected to compensate.

I live in São Paulo, Brazil, and I hate when I see people in buses talking loud and listening to music loud as well. This is so annoying and disrespecful.

The other thing about manners at that concert was when some people started talking during the music they were told in no uncertain terms by several people  that they needed to be quiet and listen.  I have had concerts ruined before by people talking so this was refreshing to me as I didn't have to shush them myself.

I was in Helsinki 3 years ago for the 100 year independance celebration. We went to the president's place to hear his speech and see the firework. There were sooo many people, but it was so quiet! It was crazy! Lol!

No litter, polite, reserved, quiet people. I want to move there!

Bro, you completely missed the most important thing you should NOT do in Finland: Never, under any circumstances, call Finland - Scandinavia!

Everything you've mentioned sounded normal to me. I'm German, we also don't tip (it's included in the costs), we take off shoes, are respectful when someone talks and prefer quietness in public spaces. Littering is frowned upon, too. The more I watch your videos the more I feel at ease tbh. I lived for many years in the UK and was often labelled as "weird" and ostracised because I was reserved and respectful instead of loud and extroverted. It made me question if something was wrong with me but ever since I spend some time in Finland and also back in Germany again, I noticed it wasn't me I was just not compatible with anglophone nations.

I’m Australian with a Finnish wife. Born and raised in Australia but both parents from Finland and can speak Finnish etc. a lot of these are pretty true, we were living with my parents at one point while our house was getting built and with Australians generally being more outgoing and friendly my Dad struggled with the fact that when she came home from work she would not go over and acknowledge him or talk to him straight away (Even though he was in a different room most of the time. I tried explaining that she’s just taking some time to herself for maybe half an hour to an hour before she comes and talks to people but it was like I was speaking Chinese to him 🤪. And said “Dad, if you’d just come home from a tough day and had to do the funeral of a child (He’s a funeral celebrant) we wouldn’t be offended if you didn’t talk to us straight away”. Although with punctuality my in-laws are the exception to the rule, they’re always late 😆.

I don't need Finnish DNA to be Finnish, these are all relatable and I felt bad I wasn't born in a place where my personality fits. Same thing about Norwegians. I think these two are like twins when it comes to habits.

"This COW fell on me from the blue sky" lmfao (1:52)

Of all reasons to be late, that's hilarious and amazing

All of these rules are true for me except the hat wearing rule: While I wouldn't wear a hat when eating myself, I personally don't mind when others do. Regarding table manners, I find it important to wait until everybody has their meal on the plate, wait until everybody is finished (except if there is a really good reason to leave earlier) and to close the mouth while eating so that others don't have to see and hear you chewing.

Damn those stuff sounds exactly like me maybe that's why i want to live there.

The thing about being late usually applies more on the countryside. In bigger cities (Helsinki, Turku, Tampere) I have found that being a little late is usually okay, because of the distances and the buses time schedules

I've seen an American tourist go to the sauna with swimming shorts and a tshirt🤣
