Everyday Life in Finland
Part 7: The Summer and The Winter
Hello! My name is Pertti Usva.
I am in Finland. I live here.
A couple of friends from Cancun, Mexico
have asked me how to survive the Finnish winter.
The answer is: It is easy to survive the Finnish winter,
because we can dream of summer.
I have just got rid of my winter coat.
I am ready for the summer style.
And for having my vacation.
And to do all the things
That I cannot do in the city.
Like carrying the water
Taking a bath in the sauna
Living without trimming the five o'clock shadow
Killing mosquitos
something like a 500
millions of them
in a day.
And enjoying the weather conditions
that the Finnish summer can offer us.
In other words: With the power the Finnish summer gives us
We are able to survive the winter here in Finland.
