Ready To Meet The Woman Of Your Dreams? https://marriedinminsk.com/ I have landed and spent 2 days in Helsinki Finland. Life is certainly different here. Different culture in almost everyway except a strong sense of surface level politeness in both Helsinki and in Minsk. Finland is more egalitarian and feminist while Belarus is a little of these too, Minsk is very image driven.

Australian in Finland 🇫🇮
I disagree that we're either a feminist or a polite society. The Finnish culture is one of live and let live. It's your life, live it as you wish and as long as it has no impact on my own life it's none of my business.
A lot of individualism too. You're expected to manage on your own and solve your own problems. Finnish children generally move away from home around age 18-20 and from that point on, while family will help if help is needed, their lives are their own. It's your choice what you study, what you do for work, how you live and who you live with. Even parents don't meddle in your business.
Your religion, your political stance, your sexuality etc are your own choices and won't be questioned. In fact, nobody will even ask about them because they don't care. It's your business, not topics of gossip.
The "politeness" you experience is probably more about rules. Finland is very rule bound. Finns follow the laws and rules to the letter, obviously with some exceptions.
Pedestrians on a pedestrian crossing ALWAYS have priority if there aren't traffic lights. Those are the rules. If a pedestrian is crossing, you have to stop.
If a pedestrian wants to cross the street and the lights are red but there's not a single car in sight, Finns will almost always wait for the light to switch to green. It's simply the rules.
It's also a trust based society. We trust our authorities, our police, our teachers, our neighbors and our fellow citizens.
If you lose your wallet in Finland, you'll never panic. It will inevitably show up at the info desk where you dropped it or at the police station with everything still in it.
P.S. The Russian you hear is almost exclusively spoken by Ukrainian refugees. Russians are not able to enter the country easily these days.
Can't say Russia has ever been the most popular country in the mind of Finns with the history we have though.
Belarus is the best !!!
Helsinki doesn't have "metro ticket". Helsinki uses zone system, which gives you possibility of using every HSL transportation method there is inside these zones. This includes HSL ferries aswell.
You said that HSL A zone (24h day ticket) costs 9 euros. That can't be true. Helsinki doesn't have only zone A ticket. The minimum amount of zones per ticket is two zones, like A and B. AB zone is very big in Helsinki (it basically covers the whole city center area and big part of suburban areas). I think that you ment AB day ticket. 9 euros for a AB ticket (24h) is nothing compared to other cities in europe. Just go to Stockholm and see how expensive it is there just for the metro. 9 euros is therefore actually a very cheap for a public transport ticket which inclides a lot of transportation methods, like trams, metro, ferries, busses, trains ect inside A+B zones for 24h.
40 euros for 1 kilo of blueberries sounds too expensive aswell. For example my local S-market sells blueberries for 9.49€/KG…
That restaurant take is also very weird THB. You said that you can't get your stomack full without paying a forture in Finland. I pay around 13-15 euros for an asian buffet located in Helsinki city center and it includes coffee/tea, ice cream, sushi, warm food, drinks and salad. That is not that bad compared to other capitals in europe.
Belarus is best❤🎉
This video was so well-written, it's clear you put a lot of thought into it.
its a shame that finland is so overpriced maybe poland is a better western but still eastern country for prices
Man how long are you there? i live in helsinki all my life, i could show some interesting places man
Man, looking at this from Saint Petersburg…dont wanna go back to Finland 😀
Not very good DG conditions
When it comes to prices, salaries or cost of living in general it's important to note that Finland is culturally very different to other "first world countries". Most Finns are content with what they have no matter how much it is because the services that are paid by taxes run very well. If wealth is a big priority then you are better off going to countries like Australia, Sweden or UK.
I know very little about Belarus but if it's anything like Russia you will for instance see a lot more sport cars than in Finland because money isn't worshipped here to the same degree.
Are there crime problems in Finland? Or overall one of the safer countries in the world.
So in your opinion Belarus is better in terms of affordability?
Halfway into the video and transgender, and lgbt flags are present (here 20:22 and here 29:47). Women look completely ugly and overweight, compared to Belarusian women 21:00. But the streets are very clean. They have to be. It's 12 times more expensive than Belarus. Unfortunately Finland is completely under the occupation of the US.
Of course Finland is much more expensive, cuz Finland is a Nordic and western country with high standard of living. The wages are higher too. Also Finland has a high standard of living like other Nordic countries.
Finland was never under communism. Never a part of Soviet union and never an eastern bloc country.
