What Americans think working in Finland is like

  3. The part about working at Spotify and having a neighbor named “Björksnäs” makes it sound like they’re confusing us with Sweden but I guess that’s part of the joke.

  5. Was this video supposed to be about Sweden? The guy even sounds Swedish.

    I didn’t find anything funny in this.

  6. Because people keep saying that we’re being confused with sweden, I need to tell you a horrible terrible truth. I grew up in the US and my HIGHSCHOOL history book had a series of man’s and atlas’s. In this 2009 edition of this history text book, on the atlas, the capital of Finland was Finland and the capital of Sweden was Helsinki. That should raise all the flags for you.

    Also I tried to send a package from my little rural hometown to vantaa, Finland and the Post worker told me to my face 3 times that Finland did NOT exist because it wasn’t listed on the registry… she didn’t change it to international until I asked her to because there isn’t any other place outside the United States. Sorry for any readers currently outside of the United States, we’re all a myth and in fact do not exist. I’m sorry for any existentialism this may have caused.

    Please remember your towel.

  8. Okay I laughed. Too bad it seems that some of us Finns still are so self-conscious that we cannot enjoy the humour and instead bitch how we seem like Swedish in this video.

    I’m from Lapland and I say to that, I don’t give a fuck if we seem like Scandinavians. Most of Finnish don’t even have fucking reindeers (which btw have more to do with Sapmi than Finland) but for some reason Swedish cultural impact is just too much to handle even though it’s much more Finnish than reindeer.

  9. Wheres the coffe though? We didnt get to be number one coffe drinking nation by drinking chocolate.
