First I was like "Cat Rivers has a new video".. Cat River, Cat Rivers... I know that name! Then I looked a bit to see who she was and remembered everything. Welcome back! I hope everything is fine with you. All the best!
I don't know where you took a shower but i've always lived in houses where there is at least a shower curtain but mostly there is sort of shower "door" attached to wall witj hinges that you can pull in front of the shower.... No water all over at least where i have showered, public swimming halls yes but not in homes.
Showers here *always* have either see-through walls or such, or then you need to put up your own shower curtain, so no, one never showers with just "open" shower like shown here ;) As for drinking milk, I never drink it except in coffee, so I agree with you 100% on that one, but I guess I'm in the minority of Finns :) As for jackets, one surely needs hell of a lot of jackets just since it's so freaking cold here most of the time 😅Though I don't go for those "waterproof" jackets, ie. tuulipuku, I just find them really ugly & uncomfortable. And yeah, I left my parents house at age 18 (though that was ages ago), and recommend that, why wait longer? ;)
This is exactly how I’m feeling right now… going through a lot of life changes and moving away from family is so difficult. Your video popped up right when I needed someone else who is going through the same feelings!
@0:54 Yeah. Did you also complain that the previous tenant didn't leave his/her/zer used and unwashed underwear? It should be _blatantly_ obvious to anyone from a 1st world country that you install your own shower curtain into the (aluminium) rails. What exactly did you think these rails were for? Decoration? This is American level of stupid. @3:07 The civilized western nations banned all 'land fills' in the 80's, and all the old sites were cleared and cleaned up about two decades ago. Only in 3rd world dumps (like the US, China etc.) people are still allowed to just bury the garbage and call it a 'land fill'. @3:57 It's called calcium. Your bones like it. You'll understand the logic behind drinking milk when you are 70+, take a stumble, break your hip, and 'exit' after a couple of months of surgeries and complications. @6:13 Only hipsters buy bottled water in a county that has the best quality tap water in the world. The (expensive) bottled water actually has much more harmful chemicals, not to mention the micro-plastics than the average Finnish tap water. There obviously are variations b/w different municipalities, but you'll never find horrendous stuff like e.g. Flint, Michigan in any developed western nation.
water is super expensive, because it is really rare that anyone buys them. You can get it free fills almost anywhere. If you need water you usually bring your own tap water.
10 liter jug of water costs 3,20 euros. 32cents per liter, 24 cents more expensive than Spain. Anyway, in Finland don't buy water, get it from the tap :)
Thank you. We ve been in Oulu in September and it was pretty cool. We want to move to Finland and we would loveeeee to live near Lappland. But we have to check first how it is in the summer, since I get allergies from the mosquito bites and they told us in Lappland are way more. Can anyone give me more informations about that? Luckily, I got no allergies YET from the Finnish mosquitos bites. In Germany it’s very Bad, they get so huge and lasts for more weeks. And they are really big. Can get to the size of my back of my hand, doesn’t surprises me anymore. Biteaway is my thing I always carry with me being outdoor in summer. But our guys had in September pretty much mosquitos!!!! I thought in Finnland it would be too cold already but nope.
Welcome back :) just saw your channel and it’s very interesting since we want to move from Germany to Finland in a few years. I am so excited i want to learn everyday about living in this fantastic land
Also when you buy bottled water in Finland 100% of those bottles you get some money back when turning them in so you basically rent the bottle and buy the thing inside. Doesn't matter if it's glass or plastic bottle either and the sizes are valued differently. Last time I checked few years back the recycling rate of the bottles was north of 95% and the rest are propably used to do some dyi solutions requiring thin plastic or waste liquids of sorts...
Hey, also Panamanian!! Trying to learn Finnish and Love finland!! youtube recommended me your vídeo of 9 things that shocked me living in finland!! Hope you continue making videos cuz i'm loving them so far! Greetings from Panamá 🇵🇦❤️
@@cat_rivers learning languages is my hobby, Finnish sounds nice! Well it doesn't matter if you don't make more videos about Finland, you make good videos anyway!
"Every kind of profession" -- farmers? Shepherds? Fisherfolk? Astronauts? Army generals? President of Finland? Minister of foreign affairs? Gather on ME! Listen to Prem Rawat!
I'm surprised I didn't see anyone else mention shower curtains. In the picture, you can see a curtain rod where you're supposed to hang a shower curtain. The shower curtain is plastic. People don't usually leave their old shower curtain when they move. It's considered unhygienic to do so. Bigger houses with bigger bathrooms have different arrangements. Shower curtain is common in more budget friendly housing.
Welcome to Finland❤ 1.Showercurtains..i hate those. They are supposed to instal in that level in shower. Buy something thick and good fabric..becouse when they stick in your skin, it feels so slimy and mean 😂❤ and dry the floor after❤
Everything is made to handle water in the bathroom...why aren't you speaking Spanish?....why did you move to Finland in the first place.....Remove #9, that's not unusual......My daughter moved out at 18 and I went into empty nest syndrome shock
Actual facts about us...school system crashed , becouse lefties wanted all the blacks at same lever as finn kids. Somalies iq is about 40-60 ,finns 90-120
Well third times the charm. I somehow managed to uplaod a video mp4 that had like 8 sound tracks ;D so of course it was muted hehe sorri . Heres the real one ! SOUNDS INCLUDED
Well that´s the reason we use shower curtains that water does not sprinkle everywhere. Oulu is one of the biggest cities in Finland so the transportation in there with public transportation works and is good. If you go 200 km south to smaller city of Kokkola (about 50k people), there the public transportation sucks and is expencive. It is my home city so i can tell this for sure. Mainly i live now in Tampere becouse i work here and the transportation is good and much cheaper. Yes, we take recycling seriously. We like to keep the country clean. We have had most of these recycling habbits from early 90´s. Before that we were recycling only paper. Then came recycling bins for metal, glass and plactics as well. Biowaste is propably the newest thing (some people had them own composts even earlier) thing in recycle. It also has been little bit different in different cities and areas how it has developed by the years. Well independence is in young age suitable if you want to have serious relationship whit the other gender. If you are over 20 and you live with your parents it´s harder to get "lucky" and pick up someone with you. I couldn´t even tought that iwould bring home some woman and have sex with her in same apartment while my mom was sleeping in another room. Just not ok to do that. Things changed quite alot after i got my first apartment before i was 19.
How can you have privacy for sex expriences if you live under your parents roof? Would you like that you parents see o hear your sex acts, may be casual sex? Or do you go to the parks or do you pay a hotel room every time you like to have sex?
