PART 2 UP ON MY CHANNEL NOW GUYS :)

About those ladders. The one in the bathroom was definitely just a drying rack made to look like ladder for design purposes. Ladders on the outside of houses and stuff are indeed because safety regulations and act as emergency escape routes and as easy means for chimney sweepers to climb to the roofs. And it does get snowy so you might have to be able to drop some snow off your roof.

Yeah, that stupid ladder in the bathroom was definitely someone's idea of design. The ladders outside of houses, undearneath the windows, are for emergencies, yes, but definitely not for chimney sweepers, or for snow felling. Very few buildings have working chimneys these days and for snowfelling and other roof maintenance there are complete more structurally sound ladders that go all the way from the ground to the roof.

There are hi-tech dispensers and equipment almost everywhere in Finland. Finland is a very tech oriented country.

Yes, I think you are right about Finnish common sense. Like in our written language every letter is always pronounced the same way and so spelling too is very easy. When first learning English (on 2nd grade), it felt like there was no way to predict how to pronounce words and it just seemed badly/stupidly designed language to me as a child🤣

Those ipad controlled juice dispensers are really common here in Finland. Pretty much every decent hotel has them.

The recruiters were so called "feissari" or "facer", face to face sales people mostly trying to get you to pay monthly to some big charity institution or getting names to some addresses such as ending fur business or something.

Every home here has "the bum guns" and I could not live without them! When travelling Italy and Austria, my main complain was their absence. Also I could not share my blanket.

I think the airport grocery stores are past the gates, though... so you can buy a drink for your flight, or the groceries like she mentioned, but you can't just walk in without a plane ticket... The little hose for washing yourself in the bathroom ("bum gun") is called a bidee here, though, despite not being a separate toilet-shaped thing. And they exist in pretty much all homes as well. I've seen a few of those juice dispenser ipad things in hotels, but not all of them have those. The ladder is probably to reach a top cabinet or bunk bed or something, and the bathroom is the only place they have the space for it in the en suite? Every house has to, by law, have a fire exit upstairs (I think the law says "all the rooms where people spend significant amount of their time in", so storage rooms don't count), hence the ladder on the outside of the building. And yes, I did use it to sneak out, lol. Pretty much all hotels have saunas, but not all hotel rooms have their own saunas. The hotel sauna is usually heated twice a week (Wednesday and Saturday are the most typical days) and there are separate 1-2 hour time slots for men and women. Some hotels allow you to pay extra for a private sauna time slot with your fellow hotel room residents. Same thing with apartment buildings - newer ones have their own saunas, older/cheaper ones have a shared sauna and the shared one is heated for free for all the residents once or twice a week (with separate time slots for different sexes), but you can also pay extra and get your own time slot for your family. Also love how so many things are just common sense to Europeans and Americans are like "GENIUS!!" 😂

Helsinki-Vantaa airport has a big S-Market right after the arrivals gate, next to the exit.

It's a law to have those "stairs" to get out of upstairs if it happens that fire burns in downstairs.

I think you are right about the technology part of hotela. While they weren't at the _best_ hotel in Helsinki it was among the top 5 hotels in Helsinki. I can't say for certain it isn't widespread but most likely it is spreading as a service used for that.

About the recruiters, they usually are from Greenpeace (as in video you can actually read it in english from the recruiters vest) and from Amnesty (humanrights organisation) and they are f******* annoying and i hope goverment bans that kinda activity by law (both). And about high tech hotels, most chain company hotels are high in tech here, tho if you wanna have nice oldie/romantic avenue for your visit i recommend old hotels that are not part of any chain.

Couple of things if you wish to travel to Finland. Don't listen to americans or lean on the popular places on internet to make your beliefs. Remember, helsinki, where you will be, will be expensive, and will not be a reflection of the whole truth. There are some things that even most finns will fail to convince you. They will be cultural things. E.g. Taking a sauna and dipping in freezing water, or taking a shot of vodka or tasting salmiakki. There are cultural nuances you need to understand before judging them. It's not like french cuisine which leads you to a discovery of tastes. This is what many people fail to understand, some experiences need to be extreme and brutal. Like an example, you don't want to be stabbed slowly in your gut, you want it to be done fast, extreme and you feel the power of the thing you are trying to experience. Going from sauna to a freezing lake is a good example, which applies to many things in life. You feel too hot, and then you just DO it, dive in. You don't try to feel the water out. The experience you want to have can be ruined with the intention of having the good experience by overthinking and hesitation. The best things in life are the things where you throw your logical mind away and do it anyway. Watch the demon in yourself in the eyes. Blessings from fin. -Tom

Those bidee showers or bumguns as you call them have been around from the 1960's in Finland. Some even succest that they were invented in Finland but were first manufactured in France.

Wait... People don't have designated blankets commonly? How do you sleep at night? 😂

Reindeer are from northern Finland so its naturally more expensive in the south (Helsinki) and also Helsinki is expensive in it self

Huh, we've always had those... "bum guns", but noone ever told me you could use them instead of toilet paper. I've only ever seen them used to clean the toilet.

The plaster looking things are meringue, I think the tag in front of them on the table might say "giant meringue". The picture is not clear enough to be certain. But this is something that I've come across in several videos that Americans don't seem to know what meringues are. I wonder why that is. As for the American football that they saw that was made in America, well... I doubt that anyone here makes them because the sport is not very popular here. Also, ordering stuff from overseas is very easy nowadays. So there really isn't anything unusual about it. If these people are from Minnesota themselves, then it probably was nice and/or surprising for them to see something here that comes right from where they live, maybe that's why they included it in the video.

Those ladders in the video at 12.37 are actual ladders as they are not attached to the wall (clearly visible that they are covering socket outlets). They are probably a safer way out of the room from window or balcony if the hotel is on fire and the hallway is full of smoke. Or there is some high wall cabinets in the room and those help you to use the upper ones. Some hotels have separate "cleaning" cabinets for room service or for the occupants. I have seen similar ladders stored on those... I would like to say that hotel staff left those there by mistake, or it is a tiny room.

I just needed place to sleep over night so can´t complain about that. Propably fine dining restaurants might have reindeer, but not in every restaurant. Helsinki has most of the tourists so there propably are more often reindeer on the menu as in rest of the cities. Of course if you go north to Lapland the there propably is almost every place reindeer. I ate reindeer tartar in hotel restaurant that was in Kemi and i liked it alot.
