Geography Now! Finland

[svanteforsblom]

I try to give you some ansvers to the questions.

Salmiakki is ammoniom cloride (actually a white powder) that is usually mixed with licuirice and sugar to make the sweets that where on the video. Something we grow up with, but not so common outside nordic countries, Germany and the Netherlands.

Saunas are really common here, more saunas than cars. On average every family has at least one.

Angry Birds is a product from Rovio, a Finnish gaming company. Other things that came from Finland are Linux operating system (most web-servers run on it), Kone elevators (biggest brand in the industry), Molotov coctails (the name came from winter war against USSR, even though the firebombs were used in Spain way earlier). Most likely Nokia is the best known company abroad.

About architecture, Helsinki is a mix of russian and swedish influence, plus some other imported ideas mixed with local design. Quite uniqe combination.

Please check out "Finnish Nightmares" or "Very Finnishh Problems" for some more 🇫🇮 content.

I was born in Finnish Lapland and in my home village the sun stays above the horizon for almost 2 months, about (and below the horizon for ca. 1 month in midwinter). This summer I stayed in my childhood home for one month during that time. Where I live now, the longest the sun is above the horizon is almost 20 hours (about 20th of June each year).

Salmiakki is liqorice + ammoniumchloride (salt).
And yes, Angry Birds is finnish.

Sauna is big things here. Seriously, there's like 2 million saunas here (3, 2 mil if you count illegal ones too) and a home is not considered a 'real' home if there is no sauna in some form, be it electrical or traditional with a wood-heated stove. Currently there's just about equal number of saunas and passenger cars registered. Probebly the best sauna experience comes from a lakeside cottage sauna, where you can heat the sauna with logs, listen to the crackle of the flames, take a dip in the lake after some really good löyly and afterwards sit on the porch and listen to nature (with a cold one in your hand).

Welcome to visit our (Fin)land when we get rid of corona! I was born in Northern Finland (Kemi), spent early childhood in Middle Finland surrounded by lakes and from there on living in Southern Finland near Helsinki. Ps. I've being enjoying your Nightwish journey - I've been listening them for a decade and still gives chills 🤟

I live up here, with the midnight sun. During the time I leave this comment its dusk. The sun is however rising from its snuggle with the horizon. In a couple of months I wont see the sun for months. To me, its exotic that summer nights are dark

[VJScope]

Yep, Angry birds was invented in Finland, just like Nokia, Linux, text messages, etc.

[simmysims]

I have a sauna in my apartment and other one in my summer cottage.

[koff]

Yup Angry birds and black box. You gonna have your own supporter club when you carry your wife ;) Keep it as an secret, then you grab her at the start.

Thanks for learning about Finland! Yes, we do have a sauna in our home like most Finns do, and yes, the light summer nights are great. Then again the dark winter nights are the other extreme and many people suffer from depression during the winter months, but personally I like the winter, too. Lots of great Finnish music for you to react to: "The Bee" (official lyric video) by Amorphis, "Time" (live rehearsal at the Sonich Pump Studios) by Wintersun, "Pale Morning Star" (official lyric video) by Insomnium and "The Cathedrals of Mourning" by the Belzebubs, the heavy metal cartoon characters. Enjoy! 🤘🤘
