There is also many springs (place where water emerges from the ground) all around in Finland from which you can drink from. Also in the northern parts of Finnish Lapland you can drink straight from the rivers and lakes in lots of places.
To clarify, the coffee isn't free. It's the refill, and only if you buy your first cup, and sit down there. Coffee is usually included in lunchbuffé and free refills. So, you can't enter a café and have a free coffee. Many workplaces have free coffee for the "fika" breaks during the workday, but sometimes there is a small fee or a collect jar.
In Finland, you can also drink tap water from toilets in bars, shops and petrol stations, for example. It's exactly the same as at home. Even the water used to flush the toilet seat is the same water.
For a Finn, the streetlife culture in Brazil is so enjoyable. The ease of going about your life, not needing to know what's what behind closed doors is very relaxing to me. Be prepared that Finland, even Helsinki, might look like a ghost town to you at points.
In all Nordic countries I think we have a common proverb : "There is no bad weather, only bad clothing", of course meaning just dress for the weather and keep doing what needs to be done... In Europe (at least in EU) red traffic lights means stop. Simple rules without exceptions makes for fewer accidents. Drivethrough coffee... Most people fill a thermos mug before going to the car... And also - I think MacDonalds serve coffee in their drivethroughs...?
To really rub in the finnish water quality, 99% of the time the tap water has even less bacteria than the bottled water. And it is the same water used in shower and in toilet. Finland has so much clean water it just doesnt matter, easier to run just one line of perfect water and use it for everything. 100.000+ lakes makes for unlimited groundwater so you just have to take care of it, a gift from mother nature.
Our wastewater at home first flows through the sewer system to the sewage treatment plant, where it undergoes several complex cleaning processes. The purified water is then returns to the natural water cycle: it flows back into nature, from which we obtain our drinking water. There it is then drawn back by our waterworks and cleaned for our household.
When I was a kid in the 1960s we used to go rowing a lot and when we got thirsty we just drank straight from the lake. Nobody ever got sick so I guess the water was clean enough. 😊 But I wouldn't do it today!
5:01 You guys collect mugs? Well, then there's pretty many mugs to choose from for you/to collect. 😆 I think I have maybe about 20 different Moomin mugs that are on the commonly found side. Moomin mugs are collectors items, so as a fair warning, they can be pricey.. I have gotten some of mine when on sale and few as a Christmas gift. 😂 11:36 In the summer withthe midnight sun, you just need really good blinds or blackout curtains (like I do) and it's not then that hard. I imagine it would take lots of time to get used to, but, otherwise I think it should be fine. 😊 14:39 I have to disagree here. I admit, I don't drink coffee or tea (at all). But from what I see around me, most definitely not everywhere is free refills for coffee. I guess it's safe to say that it depends on the place where you're at. Not just the fact wether you're in the Capital city area or in some smaller cities or villages or towns... But also individual cafes, restaurants and their own way to do things. 18:35 Bandaids can be found and bought from stores usually, some have more options than others. Or then maybe just have bad luck and they are sold out. Or if you get too picky and don't want to buy the only one they have and it happens to be 'kids'/kids bandaid with some characters on them. 😂 Wishing you guys a great day. 😊 💚
That muumi character on that cup is only 1 / about 100 different muumi character there is,those r wery famous in finland and japan,that character on that cup is called Niiskuneiti,Snorkmaiden on english.
She has misunderstood a few things in this video, not by much, but still. The coffee for example sometimes (used to be the norm back in the 90s and before) has an "ilmainen santsikuppi" basically meaning "one free refill". This does not mean unlimited free refills. Also, you will always need to ask whether it is included or not, same for coffee, if it is or isn't included in the lunch (more and more often it isn't) Free refills for soda are actually rather common in Finland, and available at pretty much every buffet menu
Well, if we just stayed in the house every time the weather is bad or cold, Finland as a country would shut down for over half of the year. We have learned to live with it, but many of us don't like the climate very much and tens of thousands of Finns, especially retired people, live in southern Europe for most of the year, for example Spain is popular.
Unfortunately Finland is no longer the place it used to be and the future doesn't look good either due to agressive righwing populist politics. Sad, but true.
Usually, no foreigner makes such a video about Finland or Estonia without talking about the sauna culture. Perhaps, for some Americans it's too much even for talking about it? Lol
There are over 140 different Moomin mug designs made.
Design in Finland, made in Thailand ...

And same pure water on shower also. On any tap you find in Finland. Purer than some bottlet water

Somewhere in the world it is considered a waste of clean water, flush the toilet seat the same clean water.
@@pvahanen-dh5rt Yes, but on the other hand, building two different water systems is costly.
And wash our cars

Correct. Average Finnish tap water has proven to be cleaner than Evian.

The quality of tap water and air in Finland is the best in the world.
