    Finnish hockey reporter went to see 4 Nations tournament in NA and a cab driver in Boston started to talk about politics to him when he heard that he is from Europe. The driver told that Ukraine shouldnt have started the war and told that Trump will end the war. The Finnish reporter told him that actually Russia started the war and the driver didnt believe him. Cab driver also asked is Finland a NATO member. Yes. ”How did Russia respond?” ”We didn’t ask them”. The reporter questioned americans ability to double check the ”news” that are told to them. He said that driving in that cab was like listening to Fox News or Trump speaking himself.

    Revolt? when the country is full of these ”cab drivers”.











  • Finlux used to be a Finnish company and their old tv’s sold well back in the day here in Finland. It’s been Turkish since 2006. I had their recording digibox about 10 years ago. It often didn’t even start and it didn’t have on off button in the back. lol but to be fair many electronics doesnt have them anymore. Finlux brand name isn’t strong anymore here and many youth probably doesnt even recognize it. But I hope you have better experience with your Finlux than I did.





  • Finland’s current president Alexander Stubb’s family language is Swedish even though I’m sure that his wife and kids speaks English better. His wife is from Scotland. Alexander’s dad is Swedish speaking and mom was a Finnish speaker. Alexander himself speaks Finnish better than Swedish (after elected he forgot some Swedish words and had to ask the press was it correct). Wife understands Finnish pretty well but isn’t fluent speaker. Swedish is so much easier to learn than Finnish so I guess they decided that hey we roll with that. (edit. and if you didn’t know, Finland’s 2nd official language is Swedish. Also Alexander is a polyglot. He speaks Finnish, Swedish, English, French, German and Italian).
