I was robbed in France at the Eiffel Tower, in Greece (my ancestral country) at the Acropolis and in USA at an Orlando Pizza shop. But I was never rob in any of the cities in China.
Don't try robbery in China. The crime of robbery is a serious crime in all crimes, generally more than three years and less than 10 years. If it causes heavy damage or robbery on public transport for more than 10 years, it may even be sentenced to death.
When I was in Bangkok I went to a very famous touristy place and the guides found a professional camera completely untouched on the bench. They asked around if it belonged to anyone, but the owner wasn’t anywhere to be found at the time so they gave it to the security. I also left my belongings in the middle of a crowded night market, when I came back a shop owner had kept them and gave them to me right away. I’ve heard many stories like yours about europe & USA and it makes me not want to travel outside of Asia 😂😭
I was robbed exactly behind Eiffel Tower and also in the middle of Soho in London... I don't even think about walking alone in NY or Miami or Houston at nights
The Western media always describes Northern European countries as heaven on earth. People are the happiest, great social safety net, clean environment ,equal rights, freedom and free education all the way through college. And why the lady said no camera? It's not a state secret military base, if that happened in China People would say that a police state , no freedom and cry about it.
"No Camera" refers to just the stage area and santa claus visit area. It's because they sell their own photo prints. Also, he was recording someone else's kids on santa's lap like wtf lol
Western freedom is exclusively only for their capitalists NOT the common People. In China, freedom is for ALL ! That's why the greedy western capitalists would shout "no freedom" because it not freedom for them to price gouge/exploit the common people - as what Jack Ma was prevented from doing !! Whereas the common people from western countries, coming into China , would be shocked that the freedom for ALL isn't what was defined in the West by greedy capitalists !?😅
True, westerners go to Africa and Asia and take pictures of random kids but God forbid if any tourists come to their countries and take photos of their own kids 😅🤯
@@Sorrow653It is very common in US. We got robbed also in Portland. OR and no police was interested to investigate further because that spot is an active place where over 50 cases everyday cars being broken into. They just asked us to be careful next time of not putting anything in the car. We were visiting then how are we going to bring the luggage everywhere we go.
They should come to northeast China, to Heilongjiang my hometown. There's no Santa Claus here but there are beautiful villages with breathtaking winter scenery, the magnificent Harbin Ice and Snow Festival to see giant ice sculptures and slide down the 432m ice slide. Our Evenks fellows can show you their reindeer and you can have a ride on a reindeer sleigh. Most importantly, the food here in delicious at least. And for 100 Euros you can do all of these activities.
@@sundayparty468 I think it's a bit gimmicky. It takes about 10 minutes to fully experience northern lights and then you're like, "ok, then what" 😄 Personally I would either pick a nice cabin resort with outside jacuzzis (super nice during winter!), ice dipping possibility and saunas (there are different kinds of saunas, so be sure to try at least a traditional sauna and smoke sauna!). Or an ice hotel. And instead, you can go hiking outside with a guide and experience the amazing scenery and northern lights outside, maybe make a camp fire and drink some hot beverages 😊 Husky rides are also something very nice to experience, and especially skiing if you're into that!

lol As a Scandinavian i often get a laugh when i see foreign tourists here in the winter dressed like they visit Italy in the summer. You said you almost got a frostbite on your fingers, so clearly you know what that is, and still you went on with naked hands.. lol In the next video i hope to see you dressed like a Eskimo in Hawaii complaining about how warm it is.. lol Here in Norway we have a saying: There is no bad weather, only bad clothing. Still it was a entertaining video from Santa`s shopping village.. 🙂
Entitled much? You come to the most touristy place in Finland on the absolute peak of the season and cry because you can't just walk in everywhere for free without queuing ... yeah....
Looks like living in China has reduced your ability to detect traditional western holiday hustles. Albeit I learned from your tour of Finland. Thanks. Now I have no reason whatsoever to ever visit there.
Why are people here so ignorant. As if every country didnt have its idiots... im tired of patriotic people pretending like there is nothing wrong in their country. Finland is by no means perfect but its better than 95% of the countries in the world i can promise that on my life.
Well you're on the channel of a westerner who puts out a very positive view of China, so you'll get a lot of very patriotic Chinese people following the channel and in the comments as a result. Don't take it so seriously, such people exist everywhere. Sometimes they can be very over the top but they're a minority.
@@jm-holm So Westerners are heartbroken because someone else stated the truth? !

The reindeer rides are 100€ for the completely opposite reason, the owners have about 4 to 5 months to earn enough money to live for the whole year 😊 You're paying for the labour
Exactly what pikkukisuliini said. They have to take care of the reindeers for the whole year, but they make money from them for like only 3-4 months a year. they have to charge high. The thing is that the western world is expencive because the GDP per person is alot higher. This costs alot because the cost of living is alot higher than in places like china.
@@Alexandros.Mograine Australia who has a higher average salary and more social benefits than Finland will not charge more than 10 EUR for a Santa photo
That sled stealing dad sets a bad example for his son, this cash milking village looks like a pass for me would go to Harbin instead if I wanna see some snow. 😅
You are enjoying Finland in the wrong way. This time of the year it is ice racing, snowmobile riding and sauna that should be on your to do list.😅 In Finland there is a saying that the stupid one is not the seller but the buyer.
Unbelievable. Someone stolen your sled and give it to his kid. Who does that....... Seeing Santa at the village is insane. That queue is crazy and your lucky you only got caught with the gopro. Worse case scenario you would have a handful of dwarf chasing you down for filming. 100 Euro is $146,04 Canadian dollars...that's insanely expensive. Santa's village should be rename to tourist trap village.
Fun fact: iphone goes from 100%battery to 0% within seconds in the cold. I had to put mine back in my pocket to warm it back up when i was doing the reindeer ride
You go to the tourist trap during the high season and you expect privacy and are surprised of the crowds. You go to the Arctic area during the winter and you are surprised of the cold temperature. Is it time to grow up a little bit? 😂
Lol you sound just like my 6 year old nephew when he come to visit from China, from the 1st day he kept mumbling under his voice "I want to go home, I want to go home" for 1 week then he got use to the hot Milo drink and all the mall in Malaysia. Then he stop eanting to go home, children adapt real fast when you pamper them with love😂😂😂
If you like winter, you should come to Canada, specifically London Canada (not London UK, but the "fake" London). You will get a lot of street actions on Dundas street in downtown, and east end of town, you will feel lucky to be living in China.
I have been to the santa village. It was nice. I think I paid 50 euro for the photo in low season. Twice pick-pockets in my life were in helsinki and brussels. But I got helped by kind people on spot too. I saw pick-pocket on Madrid public bus. Everybody saw it and no one said anyting. My friend also stopped me to tell the victim. Nowhere is absolutely safe.
Santa Claus village around the Christmas holidays = an expensive tourist trap. You won't see much locals there. Sorry you had a crappy experience. If you want to experience the Finnish peace and quiet and winter magic instead, I'd recommend renting a cabin in the woods (that's what I do).
Jason, to get a digital copy off your expensive photo, you can try using a color digital scanner, if you have access to one. If you possess one yourself, try to use as high a scan resolution as is practically possible. You will not have any reflection like you will encounter when you do it with a camera. There will not be any shape distortion as well.
Scanners are so last-century. The way to do it in 2024 is with a smartphone camera by positioning the illuminating lights at an angle rather than directly in front where they are reflected. If that doesn't help, take multiple shots of the picture from many angles, then perform digital perspective correction, then align each shot automatically, then blend them together with the median filter. Done! You can write your own programme to do it in Python. And if you don't know Python, any AI can write this programme for you.
@@brexitgreens I know you can used a camera with a tripod or holder and proper lightings. But the results won't be the same. Most smartphone cameras are wide angle which will create a certain amount of pincushion or trapezoid distortions and perhaps a certain degree of color distortion as well if the lightings are not properly set up. Conversely, a scanner will not give you these distortions. We are now talking about a photo of sentimental value. I use my smartphone camera to shoot less important photos as well. I am fully aware of the quality difference. Oftentimes, I have to crop these photos to make them look better. You will largely be spared of all the necessary corrective actions when you use a scanner. So don't rule out the usefulness of the scanner too soon.
You should come to northeast China, to Heilongjiang my hometown. There's no Santa Claus here but there are beautiful villages with breathtaking winter scenery, the magnificent Harbin Ice and Snow Festival to see giant ice sculptures that you won't see anywhere else in the world and slide down the 432m ice slide. Our Orochen (Oroquen) ethnic fellows can show you their reindeer and you can have a ride on a reindeer sleigh. Most importantly, the food here is delicious with fairly large portion at least. For 100 Euros you can do all of these activities.
We heard or saw what happen in France and Germany, the people there celebrate their Christmas burning people cars down, so sad. That why i or we love my country 'China', girls love to be in the videos and if you leave anything expensive like phones, laptops or even drones at the park or so on, nobody will touch it - Why go to Finland when you can take your son and wife to Harbin Ice Festival, we go every end of the year its the best.
If you can’t make it in New York your can’t make it anywhere.!!! True story!! Cause if you survive without getting robbed stabbed shot or get addicted to drugs you can’t make it to leave the country!!
Imagine pay 300 euros per night to be in a boring place and the place where Santa Claus is, is so dark and bad decorated that seems more like a haunting house. Lol.
Hi Jason, I wish you and your family a successful & prosperous Year 2024. Yes, Scandinavian is the highest living standard in the world. It is really very expensive they charged you 80 euro for a photo. Ho ho ho ho.
You dont leave your stuff unatended at a tourist attraction that is packed with people. There are thieves in places like that all over the world. I lived in Finland for 33 years and my crappy bycicle was stolen once thats it. And i even found that crappy thing couple hours later. So if China feels safer then best return there fast.
Only thing I have had stolen from me here in Finland has been a very worn down bicycle from early 70's. It was even in the bomb shelter of my building and you had to go through at least 2 locked doors to get there. Nobody bothered to steal it for years when it was just outside and not even locked or behind locked doors. Someone must have picked it because it was the worst one from about 60 bicycles in there. Tourist traps are... traps. It is usually best to go where the locals go and avoid places where specially foreign tourists go no matter where you are. What comes to living, people should live where they like to live. I would be miserable any further south as weather over +20C is just misery and suffering for me. This -31C though is getting to the other extreme of my comfort zone with temperatures.
No matter were in the world you go. If you go like a tourist trap like this, egocentric people try to take advantage of the situation. Just dont go to tourist traps.
Chinese people all go to Harbin, which is 10 times more beautiful and 5 times cheaper than here. Finland has nothing worth visiting except for the Northern Lights. If you ask me, this must have been stolen by Americans. They shop for free in their own country, and it's so simple to go into the store and take out the goods. They forget that this is Finland, and I even suspect it's you
This episode was funny. It reminds me my own country (I am living in Europe). Since our countries have few things to sell, so they make you pay for everything at the highest price. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. 10 years before, price was still decent. Now everything is expensive. Jason your stay at 300€/night is good price. The house is pretty comfortable.
I just watched a video saying that for those who have their brain damaged, unable to express clearly in language, can swear like a normal person. So the vid conclude that swearing may be one of the fundamental factor in the evolution of language. I did not really believe this until I heard you saying “神经病啊” 3:48 just like a Chinese. I could not stop laughing and now I really think that hypothesis is true😂😂
There's something to be said for all those CCTV cameras in all the big Chinese cities. The surveillance and endless vigilance result in a low street crime rate and a great sense of public safety.
This video heading could also be "Ripped Off". I would feel the same too if the love of Christmas and the legend of Santa Claus are so blatantly exploited for commercial gain. This village is better off if it serves a higher purpose of love, compassion and peace without burning holes in the pockets! Thanks for bringing out that message!
I thought Northern Europe was safe? But we were robbed! What kind of scumbag steals a little kid's sled!? It even had our bag on top of it! Welcome to Europe...
It's time to head back to the safety of China.

Are there really have idiots stupid enough to believe in such propaganda from the West without checking it out themselves? lol
Who would’ve guessed that Jason finds a new crime black spot. The desperation of stealing at -12C. Life must be tough there.
I guess so.
But I guess a "sorry" fixes it.
please delete the comment, sorry
It could be a simple mistake if all sleds look alike. Dad took a sled and put in the car, and mom thought her kid left the sled and picked it up.
@@huamok7088 Read Jason's pinned comment: "...What kind of scumbag steals a little kid's sled!? It even had our bag on top of it! ..." You can't mistake a sled to be yours if a stranger's bag is on top of it. It was clearly a theft.
lol
As a Scandinavian i often get a laugh when i see foreign tourists here in the winter dressed like they visit Italy in the summer.
You said you almost got a frostbite on your fingers, so clearly you know what that is, and still you went on with naked hands.. lol
In the next video i hope to see you dressed like a Eskimo in Hawaii complaining about how warm it is.. lol
Here in Norway we have a saying: There is no bad weather, only bad clothing.
Still it was a entertaining video from Santa`s shopping village.. 🙂
Here in Asia snow is rare' but NATO is busy to wage WAR' with the boss MURICA. Uraaaa..
Have fun trying to operate a gopro with gloves on.

假如你去小便,不脱手套,可以嗎？😂😂😂
Entitled much? You come to the most touristy place in Finland on the absolute peak of the season and cry because you can't just walk in everywhere for free without queuing ... yeah....
Yooo this man's still grinding social credits even in Finland.
Looks like living in China has reduced your ability to detect traditional western holiday hustles. Albeit I learned from your tour of Finland. Thanks. Now I have no reason whatsoever to ever visit there.
Why are people here so ignorant. As if every country didnt have its idiots... im tired of patriotic people pretending like there is nothing wrong in their country. Finland is by no means perfect but its better than 95% of the countries in the world i can promise that on my life.
Well you're on the channel of a westerner who puts out a very positive view of China, so you'll get a lot of very patriotic Chinese people following the channel and in the comments as a result. Don't take it so seriously, such people exist everywhere. Sometimes they can be very over the top but they're a minority.

So Westerners are heartbroken because someone else stated the truth? ! In a place where the winter lasts for more than 5 months and the night lasts for more than three months, you should be lucky not to suffer from depression. However, it is the happiest country in the world in one of the rankings created by the West? ! Come less! Only a ghost can believe it! 🙄

我同意👍
It costs 50 euros to take a photo with a Santa Claus actor? It costs 100 euros to walk 1000 meters on a reindeer sled? Oh my goodness
The reindeer rides are 100€ for the completely opposite reason, the owners have about 4 to 5 months to earn enough money to live for the whole year 😊 You're paying for the labour
Exactly what pikkukisuliini said. They have to take care of the reindeers for the whole year, but they make money from them for like only 3-4 months a year. they have to charge high. The thing is that the western world is expencive because the GDP per person is alot higher.
This costs alot because the cost of living is alot higher than in places like china.
@@Alexandros.Mograine The sell reindeer meat for money. The reindeer pulled sleds are just gravy.
@@Alexandros.Mograine Australia who has a higher average salary and more social benefits than Finland will not charge more than 10 EUR for a Santa photo
I hope Lincoln is OK and not traumatised by the events.
I don’t think Lincoln will remember any of this😂
That sled stealing dad sets a bad example for his son, this cash milking village looks like a pass for me would go to Harbin instead if I wanna see some snow. 😅
Well lids enjoys that. Not a big deal
This channel is so fake. I love it
Hahaha, You ain't too impressed with Santa's village..
You are such a actor😊
You are enjoying Finland in the wrong way. This time of the year it is ice racing, snowmobile riding and sauna that should be on your to do list.😅 In Finland there is a saying that the stupid one is not the seller but the buyer.
Unbelievable.
Someone stolen your sled and give it to his kid. Who does that.......
Seeing Santa at the village is insane. That queue is crazy and your lucky you only got caught with the gopro.
Worse case scenario you would have a handful of dwarf chasing you down for filming.
100 Euro is $146,04 Canadian dollars...that's insanely expensive.
Santa's village should be rename to tourist trap village.
I went to Santa village in Finland too it was boring. its for children.
@@r3dpowel796 It's not for the children. It's for the profit from grossly overpriced photos and videos. Legalized robbery.
这一期太好笑了，全世界旅游景点都一个鸟样啊，
景点不让拍摄太罕见了，而且林肯人生中第一次被偷了宝贝，也许该说是被抢劫了滑雪板，
还是很有纪念意义的。
你想说的是景点不让拍摄太常见了吧？
@@mrtraveler5573 这么喜欢意淫的吗？不好意思，这种提供拍照服务的景点或游乐园在中国多了，反正我从没见过不许别人自己拍摄还扣留拍摄设备的
Robbed in Finland? What bad luck.
In last 7 days, in Toronta North York area,there are more than 50 case of robber enter the house.😅which is worse place??😅
What a crime ridden dystopia Finland really is. Thanks for revealing us the thruth.
It's not crime ridden, although the stolen sled was not a promising sign
1. The stealing of the sled. 2. The robbery when Jason bought the photo.
The irony is u can see lots of Chinese tourists in the background taking group pics 😂😂😂
those look like from korea or tw
😊support Jason's channel.谢谢你向世人介绍美丽又进步的中国👏👏👍
🙌
Fun fact: iphone goes from 100%battery to 0% within seconds in the cold. I had to put mine back in my pocket to warm it back up when i was doing the reindeer ride
Yes, north part of China people do not use apple much because of this, they use Huawei and other Chinese brands, no problems at all.
You go to the tourist trap during the high season and you expect privacy and are surprised of the crowds. You go to the Arctic area during the winter and you are surprised of the cold temperature.
Is it time to grow up a little bit? 😂
That's the joke.
Lol you sound just like my 6 year old nephew when he come to visit from China, from the 1st day he kept mumbling under his voice "I want to go home, I want to go home" for 1 week then he got use to the hot Milo drink and all the mall in Malaysia. Then he stop eanting to go home, children adapt real fast when you pamper them with love😂😂😂
If you like winter, you should come to Canada, specifically London Canada (not London UK, but the "fake" London). You will get a lot of street actions on Dundas street in downtown, and east end of town, you will feel lucky to be living in China.
Dude describing Santa village boring, dude you are adult ofcource it's boring for adults. This place is mostly for little children.
Can you see the Northern Light in Finland?
3:48 pronunciation on point 🤣
I have been to the santa village. It was nice. I think I paid 50 euro for the photo in low season.
Twice pick-pockets in my life were in helsinki and brussels. But I got helped by kind people on spot too. I saw pick-pocket on Madrid public bus. Everybody saw it and no one said anyting. My friend also stopped me to tell the victim. Nowhere is absolutely safe.
your son very lovely and kind, seriously remind you cannot eat reindeer at the end, i like him.😄
"No camera here, because we monitize Santa!"
Have heard of word business? You can't eat your own food at McDonald's...
Why don't you get a pair of gloves? I live in Canada normally at this time of year here are like -20 and we are just fine.
Santa Claus village around the Christmas holidays = an expensive tourist trap. You won't see much locals there. Sorry you had a crappy experience. If you want to experience the Finnish peace and quiet and winter magic instead, I'd recommend renting a cabin in the woods (that's what I do).
Visit Santa Clausa in August!
Jason, to get a digital copy off your expensive photo, you can try using a color digital scanner, if you have access to one. If you possess one yourself, try to use as high a scan resolution as is practically possible. You will not have any reflection like you will encounter when you do it with a camera. There will not be any shape distortion as well.
Scanners are so last-century. The way to do it in 2024 is with a smartphone camera by positioning the illuminating lights at an angle rather than directly in front where they are reflected. If that doesn't help, take multiple shots of the picture from many angles, then perform digital perspective correction, then align each shot automatically, then blend them together with the median filter. Done! You can write your own programme to do it in Python. And if you don't know Python, any AI can write this programme for you.
@@brexitgreens I know you can used a camera with a tripod or holder and proper lightings. But the results won't be the same. Most smartphone cameras are wide angle which will create a certain amount of pincushion or trapezoid distortions and perhaps a certain degree of color distortion as well if the lightings are not properly set up. Conversely, a scanner will not give you these distortions. We are now talking about a photo of sentimental value. I use my smartphone camera to shoot less important photos as well. I am fully aware of the quality difference. Oftentimes, I have to crop these photos to make them look better. You will largely be spared of all the necessary corrective actions when you use a scanner. So don't rule out the usefulness of the scanner too soon.
You should come to northeast China, to Heilongjiang my hometown. There's no Santa Claus here but there are beautiful villages with breathtaking winter scenery, the magnificent Harbin Ice and Snow Festival to see giant ice sculptures that you won't see anywhere else in the world and slide down the 432m ice slide. Our Orochen (Oroquen) ethnic fellows can show you their reindeer and you can have a ride on a reindeer sleigh. Most importantly, the food here is delicious with fairly large portion at least. For 100 Euros you can do all of these activities.
We heard or saw what happen in France and Germany, the people there celebrate their Christmas burning people cars down, so sad. That why i or we love my country 'China', girls love to be in the videos and if you leave anything expensive like phones, laptops or even drones at the park or so on, nobody will touch it - Why go to Finland when you can take your son and wife to Harbin Ice Festival, we go every end of the year its the best.
Cars are set on fire by friends of the Chinese people from the Global South.
We don't have these friends of China and cars don't burn here.
A joke... 80€. I am so disappointed with 🇫🇮 🇫🇮 🇫🇮. Just another scam. Thank you for sharing. I'll never go there.
If you can’t make it in New York your can’t make it anywhere.!!!
True story!!
Cause if you survive without getting robbed stabbed shot or get addicted to drugs you can’t make it to leave the country!!
Imagine pay 300 euros per night to be in a boring place and the place where Santa Claus is, is so dark and bad decorated that seems more like a haunting house. Lol.
Fly to Haerbin Heilongjiang Province directly!😊
The is the Santa Claus debunk video for Lincoln when he's 14 years old.
Hi Jason, I wish you and your family a successful & prosperous Year 2024. Yes, Scandinavian is the highest living standard in the world. It is really very expensive they charged you 80 euro for a photo. Ho ho ho ho.
Ro ro ro robbery.
Lincon has grown Cute Big boy
Hi, Jason, you can go to Ha er bin city of China, the ice and snow world, very amazing view and cheap price.
You dont leave your stuff unatended at a tourist attraction that is packed with people. There are thieves in places like that all over the world.
I lived in Finland for 33 years and my crappy bycicle was stolen once thats it. And i even found that crappy thing couple hours later.
So if China feels safer then best return there fast.
Only thing I have had stolen from me here in Finland has been a very worn down bicycle from early 70's. It was even in the bomb shelter of my building and you had to go through at least 2 locked doors to get there. Nobody bothered to steal it for years when it was just outside and not even locked or behind locked doors. Someone must have picked it because it was the worst one from about 60 bicycles in there.
Tourist traps are... traps. It is usually best to go where the locals go and avoid places where specially foreign tourists go no matter where you are.
What comes to living, people should live where they like to live. I would be miserable any further south as weather over +20C is just misery and suffering for me. This -31C though is getting to the other extreme of my comfort zone with temperatures.
Poor reindeer, he brought you guys back home, and then you guys eat him out lol
還是⋯很特別的體驗😂
安全回家就好❤
Greeting from Chicago. The last one that LinLinbo running and yelling his dad don't eat Rudolf the reindeer that is so funny.
No matter were in the world you go. If you go like a tourist trap like this, egocentric people try to take advantage of the situation. Just dont go to tourist traps.
The tourist traps are always expensive, so is the Santa Claus Holiday Village too.
Best thing about this is that your sled was most likely taken by chinese lol
Chinese people all go to Harbin, which is 10 times more beautiful and 5 times cheaper than here. Finland has nothing worth visiting except for the Northern Lights. If you ask me, this must have been stolen by Americans. They shop for free in their own country, and it's so simple to go into the store and take out the goods. They forget that this is Finland, and I even suspect it's you
@@qiangjustin7342 It's always chinese, no manners or common sense at all.
Harbin better than finland ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 That was a good one
Yeah no robbers in china, they're afraid of -9000 social score.
The North Pole is in Canada and we have a dispute with Denmark, not Finland over who owns it. You really got ripped off.
This episode was funny. It reminds me my own country (I am living in Europe).
Since our countries have few things to sell, so they make you pay for everything at the highest price.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
10 years before, price was still decent. Now everything is expensive.
Jason your stay at 300€/night is good price. The house is pretty comfortable.
Went to the village few years ago， bought a printed picture. That place is just ok.
I just watched a video saying that for those who have their brain damaged, unable to express clearly in language, can swear like a normal person. So the vid conclude that swearing may be one of the fundamental factor in the evolution of language. I did not really believe this until I heard you saying “神经病啊” 3:48 just like a Chinese. I could not stop laughing and now I really think that hypothesis is true😂😂
No freedom nothing is cool 😢
我非常同情你們的遭遇……遭老罪啦！😂
Thanks for this video, it was very funny. 😂
Damn, they must be desperate for such cheap items.
It's rare for Finnish people to steal anything, or sleds specifically. Im sorry for your experience.
This year, Finnish customs officers stole money from Russian tourists’ wallets.
Literally.
Like bandits.
真沒想到芬蘭的聖誕老人村如此充滿了銅臭味！
如果你确实认为人种没有差异，就该理解这种情况😄
我对所有国家不存在幻想，因为加州有世界各地的移民，包括北欧移民。人类都是一样的，区别在于如何管理
at 0：20 when Jason said there is loads of bollocks, I literally laughed when the waitress came to check my bill in a restaurant😂
Finland should thank Coca-Cola for the free Santa-Claus brainwashing. They should pay them royalties for this place, if they don't already.
What NOT to put on a Bucket List!
It seems that you've got a bad experience in Finland so far except for the luxury hotel and surrounding beautiful snow stuffs.🤣🤣🤣
Put a pair of globes in your hands, all the people around you had ones
I think now you are half Chinese and half British. 😅
Europe is very beautiful though honestly , i like how they keep the old architectures😊
Russia is best.
They're definitely keep all the old architercture (abandoned buildings) lol@@InspectorA-r2e
Chinese propagandaman traveling around trying to make other countries look bad. How many yuans you got for this?
It doesn't need to be made to be bad because it is such a bad travel experience.

when your stuff got stolen, would u still think it's an enjoyable trip？
Really like the way you do your revenge. 🙂
There's something to be said for all those CCTV cameras in all the big Chinese cities. The surveillance and endless vigilance result in a low street crime rate and a great sense of public safety.
@monipenny408
There are A LOT of CCTV's in US as well, in big cities probably even more per capita than anywhere in China
@monipenny408 When property crime gets worse they will raise the threshold for arrest to $5000. That will further reduce the crime rate.
This video heading could also be "Ripped Off". I would feel the same too if the love of Christmas and the legend of Santa Claus are so blatantly exploited for commercial gain. This village is better off if it serves a higher purpose of love, compassion and peace without burning holes in the pockets! Thanks for bringing out that message!
