Culture differences of Philippines vs Finland 

It looks and sounds like you are surviving the culture (and climate) shock. 😊 Arriving mid-winter you start in the coldest and darkest time of the year, but every day it will be more daylight. I believe it takes about 7 or 8 weeks to make some of the "Finnish things" become more like a habit. And April is the spring month. 💐 Still, don't forget to try the Finnish Easter food. You should at least learn to know what "mämmi" is, and my own favourite is "pasha". You have to taste pasha.

Good for you, Jo! The way you talk about your job, it seems like you have a passion for it. You love older people the way my wife loves people people with mental disabilities. I think it is very noble. ❤🙏

Hi Jo. Thank you for these tidbits of information. It stands to reason that a nurse in the PI can also nurse elsewhere with some additional training. It is great to hear that you truly enjoy the work you are doing now, especially far from home. Stay safe Jo.

Hello Jo 🤗 great video the more in I learn about you, the more I see your heart ❤️, you almost gave yourself a nosebleed 😊 at one point. The only thing you forgot is how you are adjusting to the food there. Keep being you , you are never alone because your subscribers are here 😊

So many differences, I think I would be dazed and confused but you seem to be taking it well. Your good humor probably helps. Best wishes.

Have an amazing day, take care and God bless you 🙏 😊

Thank you for this video Jo, it answered a lot (though not all!) of our questions. As for age and memory, while there is a correlation between the two, it is not always the case. My grandmother lived well into her 90's and was as sharp on the day she died as she ever was. There is no guarantee you will lose your memory as you age, and of course, the more you use your brain, just like your muscles, the less likely you are to lose it. Have a great rest of your day, and Maligayang Pasko ng Pagkabuhay!

❤ you , stay strong

In the US we have both above and below ground power lines.

In the west some people buy tanning ("browning") products - sprays that give you an artificial sun tan :-) You studied engineering - maybe you can do online courses to complete that, if you want to move later in that direction.

I go on Google maps and go through the streets. The power lines are like rats nests. When more than one wire touches it can short out the system causing brownouts.

we hope the Filipina mindset will feel that whitening is not needed, we love morena so beautiful. and good electric is ok , and space can be closer later , Clean shoes good idea ?

haha, almost a nosebleed. 😅 very nice video, maybe someday you'll tell us more details of your near death experience. i have more than one myself. 🙃

In Finland you have to pay your TAXES...😅😅

You have boy friend in finland now

What does your husband do for work?

Finnish people are a lot more expressive of their feelings compared to Filipino culture. Finnish people also don't care too much about being on time
