Those 'ski pants' are actually coveralls, each color signify what line of studies you are in (forestry, financial management, social work, technology etc). They are worn during special days like the First of May, open doors, first weeks of new school year, entrance exams etc. They signify senior students who also act as guides for new students. Only students who already have completed their studies can wear them completely up, others can wear them 'only' half-way. Those patches are from events, trade shows, companies and even personal hobbies, it's a custom to hand-sew those patches on. As it's also customary to never actually was the coveralls, writing on them is also encouraged. In all, they are a map of your travels during the studies.
6:39 Small correction: Tampere Cathedral is actually Lutheran, not Catholic. In Finland, the position of the Catholic Church is relatively small (only 0.2% of the population) compared to the Evangelical Lutheran Church (63.6%) or the Orthodox Church (1.1%).
@@cinderellaandstepsisters Valtionkirkko can be interpreted to be defined, and usual is, by two acts of law giving two state churches: Evangelical Lutheran and Orthodox. Evankelis-luterilainen kirkko ja ortodoksinen kirkko, siten kuin ne on määritelty kirkkolaissa (1993/1054) ja ortodoksisesta kirkkokunnasta annetussa laissa (2006/985). Tähän kuuluvat myös evankelis-luterilaisen kirkon seurakunnat ja tuomiokapitulit sekä ortodoksisen kirkon seurakunnat ja luostarit.
@@LiraNeo2023 The municipality of Nokia is the west side neighbor of Tampere and the region is often called Tampere region though the official region is called Pirkanmaa.
Car accident in Oulu? I bet it was a chain collision, people tend to be worst drivers here, I myself escaped an event just by driving to the sholder once.
Yes you are right on, three cars involved. We showed it in the last video. But I can't really speak about people's driving skills here, most drivers seem decent.
@@LiraNeo2023 Lakes, forests, couple of castles, slight cultural differences (more contact with Russians, different tribes i.e. Savonians and Karelians, different traditional foods). Maybe a bit poorer and less people than in Western Finland and we might be able to put some of that on the USSR for taking Viipuri and a bunch of land.
Ok, I listened more carefully you saying "home of Nokia phone". Home of Nokia, the company is different from the mobile phone product line. There are other Nokia sites in Oulu and Salo, which might have had more relevant roles in the early stages. But Nokia had and has presence also in Tampere and important development activities there.
How dare you call grown men who have done their military service and are part of the reserves kids just because they are studying!! I don't know if those women would appreciate being called kids either by someone as young as you guys!
How old are you, if you call college students kids.😂 How did they take it, if you tried to talk to them? I don't dare to call anyone seriously a kid after their puberty.
Haha it's just an expression, maybe there's something lost in translation. But I guess it's fine to call them kids if they are still in school or college?
@@LiraNeo2023 It may be fine in some circumstances, but it can also be seen as patronizing. Students in higher education in Finland, meaning Universities and Universities of Applied Sciences, can be of any age. Of course those lower degree students are overwhelmingly young adults. But not all. Higher degree students, especially doctoral students, already have some work-life and career experience behind them and are significantly older. Some take on doctoral studies much later in life. Becoming a doctor in medicine as an example takes 6 years at the base edification leve. For some of them it might be their second career. They are likely to have family with kids. Of course everyone is someone's kid. But to use it of university students as a group, that is just not really useful. You mentioned something like "lost in translation". The word college is not really used in Finland. So the expression of a college student doesn't exist with all the same stereotypical associations as in English speaking countries. Different terminologies in different cultures have different meanings amd nuances making translation often strange or loaded with unintentional meanings. I understand you were not trying to be patronizing. I wasn't really assuming that. I merely wanted to highlight some differences, which might not be so obvious to you. Education system i. Finland tries to support Life-long-learning including possibilities to study at all phases of life. The world is changing and people need to have access to new studies and skills. Studying is not just for kids. People having many careers in their life are not uncommon.
@@LiraNeo2023 As an example from real life: I used to study in a university in Tampere before two local universities merged and became Tampere University. I was 19 at the start, perhaps a kid in yours eyes. Hut in the same group with me there was a person, who had moved from a different university and had a family with 2 children. I don't know his age, but some year older. I stayed more than a decade as a student. At least officially my status was mostly a student, though I also took some teaching roles and worked in some laboratories and projects. I was about 30 when I finally moved away and definitely I didn't feel especially old. But I would have been asking justifications, if something would have called me a kid. Nobody did.
@@LiraNeo2023 I found some studies showing at what age students of different fields start university level studies in Finland. I found a field where 70 percent of the starting students are 29 or older. More generally there are fields where a third is 29 or older. In most fields however people try to get accepted into higher education within 5 years after high school. Some admissions are very challenging with a lot of competition for study places. People might try many times over several years until they get in or find something else.
You should know that Swedish has a couple of one letter words: å=river and ö=island. And you met the first one twice in names of places: Umeå and Åbo the Swedish name of Turku. 👌 For pronunciation å is also called Swedish o and ö is the same as German o umlaut like the vowel in girl.🤔✌️
