I wonder if the milk thing is German aswell as my gran and mum swear by drinking a pint of milk a day.

Just came back from Norway and it’s pretty much the same there. One time I was 7 minutes late to buy a beer in the supermarket.. and the 16 year old boy at the cash register told me politely that from 8 pm I can’t get anymore alcohol, people looking at me like I was a common criminal haha. As a Dutch person I was like 🤯... I knew it was strict, but that strict? 😂 It’s fine tho, just a little adjustment..

Another amazing video!! Thanks! 😘

Ps. And oh my... and I was right about the guys! No one dared to talk to me in 15 days. They look, but that’s about it 😂...

In Denmark they do sell stronger liquor in supermarkets! It's just locked behind doors, so you specifically have to ask the storeclerk what bottle of alcohol you'd like to have!

jos ei oo bussikorttia ja tarttis mennä bussilla jonnekkin niin ainakin maaseudulla tarvii käteistä :)

I had seen this video before and recently mentioned it to my sister do we would laugh at ourselves because of the way of were trying to protect my little niece from the cold of Brazilian Southeast 12C winter. 🤭

Can you pay with cash everywhere though? Or do they only take card

[TruthseekerNKAWTG]

I tried to by alcohol (karhu or Lapin kulta olut) at a local Helsinki convenient store, it was a little past 21:00. The covers were pulled over the alcohol and light were off. I didn’t know that you could let buy after 21:00, I took my beer to the cashier, and that’s where he stopped me...😦. So I know first hand, you can’t buy after 21:00 (9pm) in Finland!! 🍺

Do you have Swish in Finland? Maybe that was what you were talking about when you said app and a person's phone number.

I have three siblings and my parents used to put all of us outside for naps when we were little.

There's a theory that "babies sleeping outdoor in the winter are healthier", but it has more to do with indoor air having more bacteria thanks to more people in a closed space so it's more like indoor air is not as healthy.

In the city centre you can open public bathrooms with a plus card.

[MannyWalks]

Wow!!!
I'm shocked! Especially for the 1st and 2nd ones😐😐
Aleksi, about payment with the debit card:
Even for a simple coffee that maybe it costs 1, 50euro, you can use the debit card? 'Cause here in Italy for little numbers like that is common using cash instead!

That public gambling is really annoying, especially when those machines are so noisy.
Cash is needed in some buses and even some hotels.

[aleksituononen]

Jos otat alkoholin kaupan hyllystä ennen 9. Saat ostaa sen vaikka meet kassalle klo 9 jälkeen

[yeahnoway]

9:30 Paypal, Cashapp, and venmo exist globally too

Käteiseen rahaan liittyen. Tänään esimerkiksi oli sekä Osuuspankin että Nordean korttimaksuissa ongelmia, eikä maksaminen kortilla toiminut. Monet pikkukioskit, torimyyjät ja pihakirppikset kelpuuttaa vain käteistä, koska ei ole kannattavaa hankkia korttimaksulaitetta tai myyjälle sen käyttö ei ole luontevaa. Monia muitakin tilanteita on, missä käteinen raha pelastaa pulasta. Jopa presidentti Niinistö pitää 50 euron seteliä mukanaan kaiken varalta.
