49 Strange Differences This American Noticed about Finland 

Which differences do we think contribute to the happiness Finns are so famous for? chrisplusmelissa.com/9-differences-that-make-finland-a-happy-place-to-be/

I've been living in Finland for over 25 years now. As an American, many of the Finnish cultural traditions had me stymied at first. Our American habit of aggressive initiative falls flat here; it's considered rude. So is our gregarious nature. Even at parties, I would be walking around introducing myself and attempting to mingle, and my Finnish wife would have to come over and tell me to sit down and be quiet. Looking back now, I cringe at all the things I didn't know. After a few years I began to grow accustomed to life here. Now I love it. The Finns value their personal space. This includes solitude from noise, which they also consider an intrusion. Now, when I visit The States, the feeling is like getting back in your car, starting it up, and having the radio blast you through the roof. Everyone sounds like they're yelling. I've grown to love my solitude. Other aspects of Finnish life I like are that everything works her. All official duties, train schedules, bus schedules, business transactions, and even the justice system works, and are there to enhance the lives of the citizens. The traditional worries that I would shoulder in America don't exist here. I don't have to worry about the financial effects of catastrophic illness, as health care is free. I don't have to save money or take out loans for my daughter's college education, because that, too, is practically free. The factory where I work bends over backwards to make my job safe and sustainable as I approach retirement. They supply all my tests in English. They even translate all the update courses for me. Their goal, as I understandvit, is to make sure I remain employed, which they do for all citizens. The Finns appreciate accuracy. When they say that they'll arrive at five, they arrive exactly at five; not 4:49. Not 5:01. When I generalize, my wife corrects me.....as do my friends. For instance, I have diesel car. I will say that I'm gonna go get gas for the car. Ears will perk up and someone will say, "Why are you putting gasoline in a diesel car?" Punctuality, honesty, directness, minimalism, humility, stoicism, and efficiency are all deeply admired traits for Finns. I love it here.

"Ladders" in bathrooms are probably: towel drying -- the pipes have hot water circulating. Ladders outside of houses: multistory buildings need emergency fire escapes, also if up to the roof for chimneysweeps and dropping snow. Bidee showers have become the norm since 1980's. The "exit" on the bathroom was more about the lock, not direction of where to exit the stall... "oven aukaisu" means "opening the door". You missed the chance to try salmiakki ice cream. Props for learning the Finnish pronunciation of sauna.

Don’t every towel everywhere in the world have loops? Am I crazy?

I have to say it's the most observed visit to Finland....ever 😀

In Finland, free baby boxes containing baby clothes and care items have been distributed to mothers since the 1930s. Today, various maternity packages are offered in about 60 countries.

21:54 Da Capo means "again from the beginning": "Da Capo was born based on the idea of recycling, when liquor confections found to be defective in quality control wanted to be reused. They were melted and rum was added as a spice to the mixture, because it balanced the flavor of the liqueur. During production, the Da Capo mass is boiled to 110 degrees, when most of the alcohol evaporates." 😉

If you're ever in Finland again observing the small details of life, please check out how most doors have a built in safety feature. They open in what I like to call 'the direction of panic'. In case of a fire they open in the direction you would use to get out of harm's way. (outwards if you are in an apartment, inwards if you are on a balcony since you need to get in to the apartment to get to the stairway and outwards if you're in a public building because you need to get out to the street). A neat and not always noticed security feature applied to most buildings.

As a Finn, I enjoyed watching this. Insightful and factual observations that interested me as well. I could easily identify with most of their opinions. A positive couple who clearly enjoyed making this video. Welcome to Finland again!😀

As someone who was born in a European country , I don't find anything weird. Even in Finland I haven't visited. Everything is logical.

When there's a floor drain in the bathroom, that bidet shower is handy when cleaning the bathroom. That ladder in bathroom is a towel rack. There's two kind of ladders outside the buildings; for climbing to the roof and to get out in case of a fire. The latter usually are difficult to climb up, you can just climb them down enough so you won't hurt yourself jumping down. You can usually ask your pizza to be sliced. Unsliced is probably so default, they don't even ask, if you want yours sliced. There's saunas everywhere and in everything. There used to be one in a Burger King in Helsinki. Needless to say, the only one in the world. If there's some Guinness World Record relating sauna, it's probably made in Finland. Karaoke records at least used to be there too. Design is one of those things, which put Finland on the map, so people know and value good design. Designers like E.g. Alvar and Aino Aalto, Ilmari Tapiovaara and Tapio Wirkkala. Wood have traditionally been a Finnish building material. There's also some Finnish-American designers, like Eero Saarinen, whose works include the St. Louis' Gateway Arch. Also the America's oldest log cabin, C. A. Nothnagle Log House in New Jersey, was built by Finnish settlers. Wood based products are perfectly eatable too. Juniper E.g. is good for flavoring and Xylitol is good for the teeth. Melissa might be interested in Sahti: "Brewing Nordic Brewing Sahti At The Ale Apothecary". If Chris is into drumming, he might enjoy checking out a drummer called Kai Hahto. Traditionally Finns don't look kindly on boasting. A Finnish poet Eino Leino wrote: "Whoever is happy should hide it." There might be some "Progress ends with contentment" thinking behind that also. Especially during winters, silence is everywhere. It helps, if you can embrace it. Then in spring and summer there's sounds you can not help not to stop and listen. Those Fazer's chocolate bars are oldies. That fruity one, Jim is from 1958. Da-Capo, with rum truffle filling, is from 1916, and it's the Fazer's first ever chocolate bar. Fazer was also the company to come up with the idea to put sal ammoniac into candies. In all, it's interesting how foreigners notice things the locals take for granted, like silence. Glad hear you enjoyed your stay in Finland.

I lived in Finland from 1967-1969. It was fun hearing all these interesting differences.

Pretty much every newer or recently renovated apartment has heated floors in bathrooms. It's not just for comfort, but to prevent mold. Also having heated floors in your whole house is also very common here.

Those shiny people were part of the Helsinki Samba Carneval, the actual carneval was just around the corner but they had to walk down that road to get back to the start.

Well, it's not really that big of a suprise that there are saunas everywhere in Finland, afterall, it's the Finlands oldest tradition, dating back to bronze age.

They will cut the pizza if you ask them to. Some places do it automatically, but in most places you have request your pizza to be violated with a knife.

I don't think Finnish teens need to sneak out, a boyfriend/girlfriend staying overnight at each others is pretty common. There's this little anecdote about the filming of the movie "Nightmare on Elm Street 4", when they were still rewriting the script during shooting, the director Renny Harlin (a Finn) suggested that one of the characters could stay over at their boyfriends. This was quickly shot down however, because the director didn't realize there's a cultural difference. I don't know, maybe the Finnish are a bit more relaxed about human nature I guess...

Just went walking into woods, it was a local ”nature path.” Having walked some 30 minutes we arrived to ”laavu” it is wooden building where we could even have camped. Now, this was miles away from cities etc. Yet their was wood available for fire, water, a bathroom, a shovel and -tadaa- even binoculars!!! All free to use. And btw, the bidee shower is not just in hotel bathrooms, they are everywhere in Finland.

A sledge is kelkka in Finnish. The ladder is for your towels to dry on. The literal meaning of cinnamon bun " korvapuusti" means a slap on an ear. The plaster is marenki, it is made of eggwhites, sugar, vinegar or lemon juice, then dried in an oven. I think it is originally French. The babybox comes with a condition,; they want to monitor the development but hey, universal healthcare. Da Capo is a rum-flavored chocolate. You missed the public healthcare, public libraries with computers ( it is in law to have access to internet) and babies having naps outside all the seasons ( I survived, it gives babies a good quality sleep at winter too.) There is no bad weather, only wrong clothes!

The ladder outside the building is a safety equipment in case of fire. Finland has very high regulations regarding firesafety.

Another awesome video. You both are so fun and enjoyable to watch. I truly love the way you can educate, observe, critique, and yet do it in a pleasant and entertaining way. 😊 Keep them long or short videos coming.🤗

Cool video! Sledge is the British English word for sled. Probably everything official is in British English as it is taught here, however we are also taught differences between British and American English. I speak a mix of the two as I learned British and then American has more influence over the TV/movies/internet. There were definitely a few abnormal things on the list! I would make a correction that there are no recruiters on the streets, usually they are trying to sell something or get you to donate to something. For ladders it is just easy to build it into the house to use it. In many homes you need to get on the roof to get the snow down if there is heavy snowfall during winter. No idea about the ladders in bathrooms. We also have some orange and pineapple robots in some supermarkets. Sometimes the towels indeed disappear too quickly. The bathroom exit was marked because there were two locks in the door, so you know which to use. Bad translation, Finnish said "open door." Salty licorice ice cream is the best thing ever. Also shiny people are not too common, maybe there was some event. Usually if you see something funny, it's going to be a bachelor party.

It's wonderful that you pronounce the word "sauna" correctly!!!

They aren't ladders. They're towel drying racks. They had them everywhere, in Lapland hotels too. Great for drying out your towels or even your skiwear if you need to dry it.

The bidet shower can be found in almost all Finnish homes and most public toilets. It is especially appreciated by the ladies. And Fazer is pronunced fatser. The letters in Finnish have only one way to say them. ( Actually the Fazer family came from Switzerland.)

Some comments from a Finn: Wait, you don't have loops for your towels other places? 🤔 Why? That's the easiest way to hang them, home or hotel 😃 "Butthose" I at least call "hand(held) shower" if translating directly to English. They are good beside personal hygiene to also help clean the bathroom and also fill bucket for cleaning etc. Oh and I wouldn't suggest going into train toilet without shoes (except if you travel in sleeper car which has private toilet for the cabin), so I newer knew they had heated floors. I have never seen lap desk but I have never been in coworking space. Single blankets are so also because if one is hotter than other at nights, they can have different thickness of blankets on their side 🙂 I have never seen that kind of ladder in bathroom before 🤔 Nor paperbags in toilet bins but again, I rarely stay in hotels. 😄 Those areas that sun doesn't come up during winter have lot of snow. Snow reflects all the light from moon and streetlights etc. so it's light but the autumn/spring if there is not yet/not anymore snow it's dark. Even in places that still get sunlight some amount during the day. This was fun to see what kind of things you picked up 🙂 Just know that Helsinki is not the whole Finland (if you only stayed there). Rest of the Finland is lot more sparsely populated and it shows on people. Helsinki is our "big city" even if it's small compared to the other countries big cities 😃

Most restaurants do cut the pizza, but you have to specifically ask for it. Because it is popular in Finland to eat pizza with fork and knife.

My family is of Finish extraction. My grandfather moved here in 1902 and grandmother in 1905. They came from the Swedish speaking part of western Finland. (Vasa area). I visited in 1975. I'm sure much has changed in the years since. I've heard Swedish all my life by the parents never taught any of us kids the language. I was in Finland for 3 weeks and visiting tons of relatives. and hearing the language and same questions every day and the same translations. By the the time we were to leave I found I was dreaming in Swedish. I still have cousins in Finland I talk with from time to time.. It was interesting hearing about what you found interesting and I have to agree with you. Yes, Design is very important. Their fabrics and glass industries are among the top in the world.

A Finn would probably choose exact opposite as you did with the candies 😅

Usually those recruiters on the streets are for different charities asking for you to donate. Could also be selling things usch as newspapers or electricity.

The happiness report isn't a questionnaire where people say they're happy. The happiness report looks at statistics on corruption, safety, access to healthcare, average economic stability, trust in others, trust in the government, etc.

18:20 If you go to Northern Finland, the sun rises around May and sets next time in August. However, during the middle of the winter, the sun may rise around 10:30 and set around 13:30. And the rest is very dark (only stars and maybe the moon).

The cinnamon rolls are not turned sideways, they are baked that way. The dough is spread into a big flat square with a rolling pin, then they sprinkle the cinnamon all over it, and then it is rolled up like a swiss roll. But then it is cut into pieces in a zigzag way so that next cut always goes to a different direction than the previous one. When they come out of the oven, they look like in your picture. The people who are "recruiting" on streets are trying to get people to become monthly donors to the charity that they represent. They offer you several different options, like would you want to donate maybe 5 euros or maybe 10 euros a month. If you agree to it, then they write down your account number & other stuff and arrange it and the money gets donated automatically every month. Several organizations do this, the guy on the video seems to be wearing a Greenpeace vest.

The proper way of pronouncing sauna. Bravo. Love it.

This was so much fun listening to you guys. It's interesting to see what foreigners think of Finland. Nice to hear your views of our way of culture, living, food, candies and habits. I think there's few other things I'd introduce you in summer time. Winter time is another thing. There's so much different things to see and experience during winter.

Was an entertaining video. You two are great. Doing things your own way :D

The ladders are to hang cloths and towels and they are most often heated too so that the towels dry faster... and of course there are saunas everywhere in Finland, sauna is a Finnish invention after all :D

The DaCapo candy bar is 100+ years old - and made of their not perfect liquor filled chocolate pralins😀

The flattened Finnish cinnamon roll is called 'Korvapuusti' which means 'Slap on the ear'. Finnish people consider the small Salty Licorice candies and Plain Licorice two different sort of candies. The Salty licorice is called Salmiakki and the salty flavour is ammonium chloride. The black lozenge shape means it is Salmiakki candy. There are, of course, licorice (lakritsi)candies that are seasoned with a small amount of ammonium chloride. Most Finns like ammonium chloride: we fill chocolate -bars with Salmiakki, we put it in ice cream and there is a drink called Salmiakki-Kossu = ammonium chloride candies dissolved in Koskenkorva, which is 40% spirit.

We do not have anywhere bidet, as with hose our toilets become bidets, so it's not only in hotels, it's literally in every home in Finland where you can find that little hose.

I'm glad you enjoyed. Please come again!

Never ever in my over 40 years living all over Finland have I seen those shiny people😅

Most of what is shown applies to Sweden as well. Nothing strange or weird at all.

Im a Finnish person who have lived the most of the times in "northern" Finland ( Visited maybe twice in Helsinki) and 65% of the things you have listed was new to me too jeez :D. But you guys should visit some other cities and places too than Helsinki. Like Tampere, Oulu, Rovaniemi and if you have time then even Inari. Great places and on the way you could really get to know different lifestyles and cultures we have in here :)

the amazing thing is that you notice all those tiny little details. 😃

I went to the theater in Jyväskylä and the clapping was very quiet and had to modify my clapping as I was the loudest in the auditorium.

They cut pizza's to slides when you ask for it. Some cafe's and restaurants cut their pizza's automaticly. Most Finns use forks and knives to eat pizza... Ladder in bathroom? Nope, it's a towel drying thing. To save energy & water & earth, people could use their towels more than once (if they like to..). All finnish hotels has that option!

Many shops/cafes sell bottled alcoholic drinks, BUT 5.5% or less only. Higher percentage alcoholic bottles can only be sold by the state regulated Alko stores.

Such a cool video folks! Great stuff! What comes to Finnish candies, it's a bit same like benji jumping, you either love it or hate it :-) Many of my American friends absolutely love Fazer chocolate. My favourite is that Da-Capo but I absolutely love American one called Whatchamacallit. So tasty!

18:20 In summer, when it doesn't get dark even at midnight, it's called the midnight sun here in Finland.

This was fun to see.its fun to see how foreigner sees our country.thank you

The tar flavor is definitely an acquired taste and many find it to be at it's best when combined with other flavors, like the dreaded black licorice. If you don't like them as candy, that kind of hard candies make great flavored alcohol you might like if you enjoy sipping herbal liquors. Just throw them into some (economical is fine) vodka and wait for them to melt away, then shake well before serving.

About ladders on houses: It's mandatory to have fixed ladder going to roof if you have a fireplace like most houses in Finland do have. It's so that the chimney sweeper can get to the roof safely as it is mandatory to have your chimney and fireplaces cleaned and inspected by professional once a year or your fire insurance is invalid. Those ladders that come from a second floor are ofcourse fire-escape ladders. Don't know if they are required by law since not my area of expertise as a ex chimney sweeper. :D

Interesting details on Finland. Thanks. Big fan of Red Wing boots btw.

Fun fact, the type of plastic sled is called "pulkka", and the english translation is "pulk"! This is purely nordic word that english speakers picked up!

You need to apply for the baby box, there are no automatic social benefits. But you will get one no matter your economic status, and you'll get one for each baby. You get twins, two boxes and so on. And you get a box for each baby born to the family. Doesn't matter you got one three years ago.

#21 Those ’reqruiters’ you mentioned, we call as a ”feissari”, short from face-to-face fundraiser. But they are not necessarily neither, reqruiting nor fundraising. They can just be handing out flyers e.g. to a party, stand up gig or an exhibition, or offering a better deal for your electricity or a mobile subscription. Helsinki (and prolly many other Finnish cities as well) also has free-of-charge Tourist Guides for the tourists’ aid.

I see that you visited my home town :) Yes, the sauna boat is awesome - been there almost yearly.

glad you guys enjoyed the pleasantry of the culture of Finland, I know i enjoy it

16:10 Obscure exception to building signage free-for-all: Lasipalatsi ('Glass palace') in the very centre of Helsinki is a 1930s Functionalist building with restaurants and an art museum. It's a protected building, and one of the requirements is that all the signage on the building has to be made of ye olde neon tubes.

I was always wondering why some youtubers mentioned this sled-sledge thing. Because for me as a European sledge is a normal word. I decided to have a look. So sled is the word Americans use most. Sledge is a British word. Since most Europeans study British English at school and they deal with the American version of the language only through the mass culture, in our English conversations we'd use a mix of British and American words, but in official sources like media or university websites the British version would often prevail.

You are so observant. I visited Finland several times but didnt notice much of what you told. Next time i will be more attentive and also want to try these sorts of candy you showed😀

The "recruitment" people could also be people selling things to you. It is very common in Finland that electricity companies and telephone companies have marketers in public places, and they try to get you to switch to their company by giving you a better deal. There are also people selling major newspaper subscriptions etc.

Good common sense ideas very evident in Finland.

The ladder you spoke of is for your towels. Looking back at the footage, I think it wasn't just placed properly by the maintenance guy as a rack for clothset, however there are some towel ladder racks on the bathrooms because more people just dry themselves, place the towel on the rack and go dress up. I think most people re-use the same one like... 1 or 2 times cos I mean... You've just cleaned yourself up, you just dry your clean body on the clean towel and then let it dry.

Salmiak is my favorite candy. It is often combined with licorice, popular in Finland and Sweden. Strange that it has not been discovered in more countries because it is quite addictive.

The "ladders" in the bathrooms are for hanging your towels to dry. And they are sometimes heated as well for faster drying

Thank you for pronouncing sauna as it should be. :D

The baby box when it was introduced, massively reduced newborn deaths, i think it has everything you need for the first few months

Hopefully you visited Fazer Cafe which IMO have one of the best pastries and coffee in Helsinki.

Thanks for the interesting observations. You seem like a lovely couple.

Finnish people in general like peace and quiet, we do not want to disturb anyone or get disturbed, we abhore non-sensical conflict and avoid confrontations to the limit. Never piss off a Finnish person, we get extremely angry, especially if its done for a trivial reason.

49 observations in 8 days? That’s 6 a day, which is impressive. This is much better than “just another” travel vlog. Thanks for sharing.

the hard candy and "mints" are originally thought for after smoke or substitute for smoking so the "bored while driving" is not far off :DD

#12, ladders in the bathroom. Could they be to hang your towels to dry so you could reuse them? Or could they be towel warmers?

7:14 #15 We also have a rule in Denmark that have to be ladders on the outside of buildings to escape fires or they are more than one floor, in some taler and old buildings they have two stairways instead and in newer tall buildings they have only one stairway but made to withstand even the highest temperatures in a fire and with no materials that can burn.

The heated floors in toilets/showers are for drying the floor. As the temperature differences in Winter/Summer are big, it puts high demands on the structures of buildings to both insulate yet still breath so they don't create damp areas leading to severe health issues through air quality. When the floor of the toilet dries faster and the air circulation works as intended it keeps the air quality good.

The outdoir ladders are acess to the roof to remove snow. On the roof there are poles you can attatch a safety belt to.

Greetings from Finland

They have those "portable bidets" in Thailand too, where they were called "bum guns" (in english). I'm thinking of buying one, it's really handy sometimes. I think the "ladder" might be a drying rack, maybe?

The heated bathroom floors are fantastic, especially during winter! One year my mom and I went to Helsinki bc I went to a concert there and the Christmas before wasn't that cold and there weren't much snow, but after the New year, suddenly all of the snow and super cold weather came. So the concert was like in the second week of January and we were waiting in the line for me to get it (mom wanted to make sure that I get in safely) and it was so freaking cold + cold wind bc Helsinki is near of the ocean too. Finally after waiting a long time, I got in to the venue and my mom went back to our hotel room (we were staying in a small hotel near of the venue) and after she picked me up and we were both back at the hotel room, I asked, how she spent her time alone. She seriously told me :" I went to lay down at the bathroom floor bc it was the only warm thing in the room and I was so cold that I was just laying there at least for 45min just to warm up" :"DD

You should have gotten black liquorice from Panda or Halva because those have the best quality. The stuff Panda makes has more coarse structure and the stuff Halva makes has more dense structure. I personally prefer the black liquorice by Panda but both are pretty good.

Great video! Thanks for posting. I think another item would be that Finland has the highest per capita coffee consumption in the world: 12 kilograms per person. Kiitos tosi paljon! Hyvää Joulua!

9:50 #22 I absolutely hate places where they cut your pizza unless you ask them to. If at home or home at someone else I always eat the pizza with a knife and fork, then it sucks that its already cut. Also, it makes the pizza look less classy. If eating on the beach or in a park I'll ask them to cut it for me. I'm from Denmark BTW.

It was nice to watch your video and the observations you made. I was suprised you didn´t mention Finnish invention: dish dryer cupboard. That is usually something that foreign people are amazed of. The paper bag in the trash can is an attempt to be enviroment friendly and avoid using plastic.

Pine candy? Never heard, and I'm 51 years old finnish. Maby it's for tourism. But anyhow, thanks for visit and wellcome again!

About the outside ladders - the ones leading to the roof of a building are... well, for that exact purpose: to have access to the roof in case you need to do something there, like clearing snow :D And the ones directly beneath a window work as a fire escape.

Ahh, Jim candybar, my childhood favorite. It is supposed to be strawberry flavored. Da Capo has its name because its done from chocolate that was meant for other candybar but was rejected in the production process so its melted and done into Da Capo (= from the beginning) 😊

The ladder in the hotel room was for hanging damp towels to dry. They are also usually heated, so the towel will dry fast.

#29 There's Exit showing from where to open the door. "Oven aukaisu" in finnish means "opening the door". I think it's for clearing because there's two knobs. Translated only with exit sign

Just some observations: Sled = American English, Sledge = UK English, in Finnish = kelkka, reki, pulkka Most Finnish houses have butt hoses. The term in Finnish is a bit more grotesque but along the same lines. All the towels I've ever owned have loops. Also our duvet covers have holes for easier usage! The orange juice in those machines isn't fresh. But we have orange juice squishing machines from Portugal at our grocery stores. "Ladders" are probably towel drying racks... Thank You for properly pronouncing sauna. :) Law requires us to have ladders for escaping from the upper floors in case of fire and for the chimney sweeper guy to be able to do his job. The distance from the ground to the bottom of the ladder has to be enough to prevent young children from climbing them. Our cinnamon rolls are called korvapuusti. We have both types. Most places do cut the pizza for you. Never seen a paper bag in a garbage can myself. In most proper restaurants you just go sit down and the waiter comes. You go to the counter on more "fast food" type places. Those shiny people don't look like Finnish. That "Exit" sign on the door is just poorly translated. The Finnish version says "For opening the door", meaning you need to turn that knob to get out. Proper translation of tuorejuusto = Cream cheese If you prefer, you can get the "baby box" as cash. Well worth getting the box for the first kid but for the rest you probably want to get the cash. We are not "yippee-kayee!"-happy with fake smiles. We are satisfied with what we have. Da-Capo from "Phaser" is so good. One of the oldest candies you can get. It was originally made from the leftovers of other candies. Love how you did with the salty liquorice. That last one is from Spain though.

Thanks, you made me laugh! Also many good observations😊

This was interesting and funny for me, hello from 🇫🇮 👋

Is exactly the same as Denmark 🇩🇰 everything’s is organised . Good video and thanks for sharing ❤❤

The colloquial term for the "butt hose" in Finland is "pillupuhelin" or "pus*y phone".

Bit sad that you didnt go for the best licorice brand being "Kouvolan lakritsi" its my home towns and its dubbed as worlds best licorice 3 years in row by brittish magazine

In the pic it looks like the ladder is attached to something at the top. Was it a towel warming rack? Were your plaster cookies actually meringues? Scotland also has baby boxes that include items for mom.

Those last two liquorices were in fact gluten free and the taste is a little bit different than in a normal liquorice.

6:30 you can put towels on to those ladders and if you do they can dry on them

I remember the juice dispensers having a touchscreen at least 10 years or more. Nothing new for me. 🧐
