Immigration is a hot topic all over the world at the moment - including in Finland. I thought this would be a great time to look back at my experience and then throw in some of my thoughts in regards to some of the discussions that are taking place.
This is just my perspective. I hope you're able to appreciate my unique view of things, even if you disagree.

    Chico, guys like you will never have any problem living in here. You have a good and kind attitude, with respecting and being honest to others. We don’t have to see you as same color, because more importantly we see you and learn to know you as equal. Mutually earned respect is one of our virtues.

    Greetings from Germany. Love this video man. You thoughts seem very genuine und authentic. It's good that you point out the simple things in everyday of life as a foreigner in Finland. 👌 I think it's important to know what could happend, when someone decide to move and live abroad.

    One should never be concerned about the Finnish language, Finns admit it's a very difficult language to learn but are more than happy to speak English once they understand you also speak the language. It has been my experience, and pleasure, to know that many, many Finnish people speak an excellent level of English. Probably a better level than I do. My wife was born and raised in Finnish Lapland, quite a remote area now with a rapidly dwindling population, just a scattering of elderly living in the complete silence of the nature with the ghosts of their memories. It's a world that is gradually disappearing. For me personally, there's a complete sense of freedom. Particularly so during the long winter months which I absolutely adore. Summer isn't really my cup of tea because the air is filled with creatures that either want to burn, sting or bite you. As a Yorkshire lad, I have found, much to my disappointment, These creatures never leave me alone. They must think I'm exotic food. I'm so relieved the season is short.

    Bro, greetings from SA! Thanks for making a video like this, it's really helping me to come to a decision on where to eventually work, study and integrate and hearing it from a Saffa is dope and deeply reassuring :) Great video 💯

    It’s ok to be immigrant but integration is the key , speak the language is the first step
  • thanks for this wonderful videos. you have actually increased my hope, Finland is me and my families next point of call.

    We splurged on national debt for a while so it's going to get cold for a lot of people. Not too happy about the current government coalition but it's a stick that was coming our way. I think a lot of Finns are happy to have anyone in who at least tries to assimilate to the culture to some degree and works hard.

    "LÀÀkĂ€rit ilman rajoja!" 😁 I like your attitude!👍Working (if able) and being part of culture is very important.
  • @yohanbeck8172
    Articulate, well mannered, thought and respectful. Good lad, glad you found your way.
  • @VickieEB
    I am new in Finland too, and I love it here. I agree with your opinions and like your attitude. Please keep the videos coming.
  • @rilaaleem3670
    Thanks for sharing bro. Could you make a video about living cost in Finland.
  • @toffotin
    I don't really have much to say, but gotta keep that algorithm happy, eh? Anyways, you seem like just the kind of imigrant any country would be glad to get, so I'm happy you chose Finland :) These kind of things are always complicated and weird, and I think pretty much every country struggles with them at least a bit. Finland's main thing is that we just want to live in our little corner of the world in peace... And that's pretty much it. Sometimes that comes out as "leave me alone!" and sometimes as "eh, whatever. you do you, I'll do me". I feel like you have got the hang of that pretty well, and for the language... You know, just go "noniin", and you're pretty much golden!

    Spot on...The whole video...Kaveri on huomannut paremmin kuin moni suomalainen.Miten tÀmÀ maa toimii. Ja millaisia me olemme.Suomi tarvii tekijöitÀ. Ei olijoita.Verorahat ei tule muuten riittÀmÀÀn pyörittÀmÀÀn tÀtÀ maata. Ei ole tulossa uutta Nokiaa tÀtÀ maata pelastamaan...
