Heyy!

Yes, I like bread and potatoes XD But as mentioned, it's very basic food. And potatoes can be eaten in different forms, like french fries or mashed potatoes.
I'm not very detailed about the history either lol, I just like the spirit we have had and how people have been quite equal. Finland was the first country to give women the right to vote for example.
I have brown hair. Your friend is right, most of us are either blonde or have brown hair. Usually you can tell if a person has black hair, they probably aren't 100% Finnish. But not everyone ofc. My father has black hair and he did a genetic test some time ago, he was 100% Finnish lol.
Oh yes I would like to visit Africa! Actually I really want to go see the pyramids. I know it's hot but according to google, f.ex. Cairo has a bit lower temperature in January (around 15C), so that's bearable for me. Would you like to visit Africa?

Ah, I forgot sauna from the list of why I love Finland lol I just think it's so obvious, everyone has a sauna. And yup, sisu is also something very Finnish haha. Hmm, I think people display their belief a lot in Finland. We have freedom of speech, so wouldn't it be a waste to not use it?
Yes ahaha Pussi is like a small bag, f.ex. From the shop you can buy groceries and put them in pussi lol And yes it is pronounced just like that slang word.

Oh wow, you have many reasons why you love France. That's good. I want to visit someday too, because I want to go see Versailles!
France has a lot of artistic stuff to see, like Louvre. Do you have any recommendations that are not so well known by tourists?

Haha, I wouldn't say I'm a gamer, but I do play games casually! When I was teenager I preferred playstation games, I still do, but when playing with friends online games feel easier on PC. But if I play alone I want to play on ps.
That makes two of us then. I don't know how the switch works either lol

I use spotify on my phone, but I prefer to watch the MVs sometimes haha, we are old schoolers!
Do you watch MVs?
Hmm, it depends on the day. Lately I'm not so interested in checking on instagram. For tiktok, some days it's 2hrs someday 6hrs or something ahaha But as I said, it's getting boring somehow and I don't use it much now. What about you?
I don't really know why I like them. When I listen to something, podcast or music, I like to do puzzles. I have this one app with the biggest puzzle being only 450 pieces, so I finish it quickly. If I could I would do physical puzzles, but I don't know where to put them and it's expensive.
Oh, that makes sense. I downloaded tiktok because I wanted to follow one hockey team there lol but then I got hooked I guess.

Both tbh I'm shy but also I don't want to be a bother. Most of the time other people aren't bothering me either so I just daydream alone ahah What about you, are you shy or mind your own business?

That sounds fun, I hope it will turn out good!
I don't usually stress, I guess. For example, when I had a final test in high school I fell asleep lol
I suppose I'm too nonchalant when it comes to important things...

Early? I think I moved away quite late ahah, my sister moved out on her own when she was 16. I moved when I was 19.
That's smart. And with this economy, I don't blame you. Basically I live at my parent's right now. I will probably stay there until I graduate or find a job.
Hmm, it depends, but I'd say most move out when they are 16 or 19. Especially people who live in small cities, because there aren't high schools or universities to go to. What about in France? Is it normal to stay with your parents for a long time?
Ahah Don't be, I will be 27 this year!
Hmm, well I don't think I have had an age crisis yet, but if I sometimes feel anxious about it, I just think that there are people who are born on the same year as me and we are all getting old together you know? And when I think about my friends who are around the same age and how they are doing in life, it makes me feel like it's okay. Why do you feel depressed about it?
If you see people who are the same age or even older, you realize life doesn't end, you can still do fun stuff. The thing is, just how to find time to do it lol

Same as you actually. I would also want to travel with them, and I wish to let them try different hobbies until they find something they want to do. I was so lucky as a kid to be able to have dance, crafts, cooking, music, theatre and so on that I could try out. Mostly I just want my kids to have the freedom to pursue whatever they find interesting. When I was a kid, I wanted to play drums and my mom paid for my drum lessons and I think it was one of the best things that happened to me lol.

I'm so jealous you got to see Aespa !! Omg I will remember to book myself a balcony ticket then, I'm too short to see past the phones :(
YES we have to do that, I hate phones.
I haven't been to a concert for awhile. I was just thinking I really want to go, but idk who to see.
My bias is Giselle! Before settling I really liked Winter too ahah, she is so pretty!
I'm not suuuper fan, so I don't know so much about them, I usually just vibe the songs :P

Ahh yess the GazettE is soooooo good, I recommend it!! Haha cool that you have another friend who likes the GazettE, they are quite popular in Europe, when it comes to jrock, but in Japan people don't really know them.
I recommend this one, my favorite song:

Anata no tame no kono inochi

Other good ones would be "hyena", "dogma", "regret", "shiver"(which you maybe have heard? it's an opening for kuroshitsuji!)
The GazettE is one of the reasons why I started to study Japanese haha. I like their songs, they are quite funny and ofc their style is great.
I don't know if you will like them, if you don't really listen to rock, but for me they are a very important band!

I only watched the new Dororo. I've read the older one in manga a bit and it's quite different. Like Hyakkimaru can actually speak haha.
Do you plan to watch the old one too?
I see, I also plan to go easy with this season, maybe watching two animes: Kuroshitsuji and Anne Shirley. Anne is based on Anne of the Green gables, which is something I really like!

Have an awesome week!!

The weather has been surprisingly pleasant here, seeing how we are forced to use ACs/coolers bc of the heat during this time.

Was work hectic bc the year was ending? I'm learning that happens in many places across the world. 10pm is an insane time to get back to your home. But I'm glad that mess is finally over!

Ahaha I do agree about the convenience part. My mother doesn't really have to worry about me hanging out late at night bc she knows I'm a lazy fuck who hates getting out of her bed once she's settled in it LOL.

Yes, absolutely. Money and power are everything, which is why corporations can poison thousands of people and pay a simple fine for that, while a poor man robbing food from a store gets to serve life imprisonment in jail. The world has always been unfair.

Yes, skills are important. But if men are consistently being preferred over women, by their own parents, when it comes to teaching them skills or pushing them to pursue higher studies/certain job fields, then things like reservations are definitely needed. If they didn't exist, today's women would have been further in the background than they are today.

IDK about sexism but there's a lot of office politics that goes on, which decides who gets what post/position in every department. Some positions are easy/have less work while others are pretty demanding. How about there? I'm guessing you'll be clueless bc you're not a woman.

Thank you so much! ^_^

Thanks a lot for the warm message 😊

Hey!

Ahaha yes, it's funny. I don't know how Finland is the happiest country to live in. It just makes me think how desperate places the other countries must be then. Or maybe Finnish people are just happy with less? Also being a small country has its benefits, like getting heard better and being remembered.
Hmm, that someone has a point I think. Finland's food isn't very special, but I like it. Other cultures tend to use much more spices and have more different food, whereas in Finland it's usually bread and potatoes lol. But him saying it's the most boring country, hmm. I don't think there are any boring countries tbh. Every country has their own culture somewhat, which is interesting. The history and language, I don't find it boring.
Then why I love Finland lol that's a good question. I'd say I'm a fan of my country, maybe a bit of a nationalist? but not in a way that I'd hate other countries or people, I just like Finland ahah. I think it's the community / culture that I like. Finland is a Nordic country but has its own identity, which is very different from Sweden, Norway etc. The language is often said to sound like Elvish lol. I feel like Finnish have more common sense, are more honest and are more down to earth than many other people I've met. (it's just my opinion lol based on people I've met). Maybe it's because we have so much countryside and kids are allowed to play around or something, but when I think how things are f.ex. In America or China, it feels crazy. And of course, Finnish nature is very beautiful. I really like the countryside with its peaceful feeling. I'm not saying that other countries don't have countryside though.
I don't think there's a clear reason why I like Finland. It just feels like my home.
What are some things you like about France?

Oh you don't call them often even on discord? That's interesting.
Well, we play random games ahah. But f.ex. Final Fantasy XIV, dinkum, satisfactory, raft, seven days to die ...
Do you know any of them, or have you played them?
I only have one friend who sends me voice messages and he's a guy lol but yup I suppose it's more common for girls.
Yeah, I think I use tiktok or youtube the most. Idk if I count youtube. I use it as my main source of music, so even when cleaning up or making food, I listen to music and I'm not glued to the screen.
Actually, a good decision. Never get into tiktok. It's a total waste of time. But I wouldn't say I'm so addicted like I get some people seem to be. Sometimes I might go days without watching or only watch like a video or two. The content sometimes gets boring. I just scroll the "for you page" or see videos I've saved to watch later. For example, some story time videos, I listen to them while doing puzzles haha. Do you have a reason to not use tiktok? Or generally not interested? What's your favorite social media?

Yeah, Swiss German is a bit different. I learn better with books. I have a visual memory, so I have to see the words often to remember them. I kind of envy people who learn like you do. One of my friends can speak Japanese very well, but with writing he can't do much. He makes friends easily because he has the ability to speak and people can teach him to get better, whereas I can only write and not speak much.

Oh, you're graduating! Congratulations! Let me know then how it was. What kind of plan do you have?
Hmm, I think when I graduate I will just hold a cake and coffee party for my closest relatives, maybe go eat some candies with my friend lol. Nothing special.
Ahahh I agree, a good salary is motivating.
Well my classes haven't started yet, so rn I'm chilling. But I'm a bit worried for the next semester, I've heard the classes are super hard...

19-22 is the good times, because you have more freedom as you move away from your parents, but I feel like you are still young so making mistakes is like part of that time, you know? Everything feels a bit new again, like being a kid, but maybe a bit more boring content lol like learning to keep the apartment clean and doing laundry or bills. Still it was exciting. Like learning about this new way of life. Now as a 26 year old it all feels already mundane haha. Can you agree?

Yup, splitting each week the care of the baby might be a bit complex system, but I know people who have done that.
I think I'd take a break from work and stay with the kid. Of course it's hard to say, because I don't know what kind of job I will be doing or the situation in my life. But I think it's a very special time seeing your kid grow, so I wouldn't want to miss that. Also I want to bond with my kids, I think family is more important than career. What about you? Would you stay home with the kids if your partner wanted to pursue their career or would you want to hire a nanny?

I know right? I feel like McDonald is so waste of money. I feel hungry after but full with the disgusting taste.
Yes and no. It really depends on what and how much you eat. I don't think it matters whether I cook my noodles myself or go to a restaurant and have them do it for me, the nutrition is about the same, if the recipe is the same. Excluding fast food, of course, because they add stuff you don't want to eat.

Yes, I always sketch in my notebook during class. Ahah, I don't know how people go through the class with only focusing on the teacher. How about you?

In a concert I usually get excited lol But not like crazy crazy, more like hyped and happy. How about you?
Omg Aespa?! I like them too! How was the concert? I'm so jealous.
Lately I've heard people talk about the problems in concerts like smartphones and signs blocking the view. Have you experienced anything like that?
I'm so sad about it, because in the concerts I have been to, like before 2015 or so, there was filming prohibition, so people would enjoy the moment, but nowadays nobody cares. So I'm worried that if I go to a bigger concert, I would only see people holding phones in my face.
I like pop & rock. My favorite bands are the Beatles and the GazettE. Which are quite different bands haha.
Do you have a favorite band or artist?

Ah Dororo is so good! I've watched it twice, I think. Hyakkimaru is my favorite too!
Currently I'm not watching much anime. The site I used to watch from died and I really haven't been in a mood to watch.
Are you looking forward to any anime this Spring?

See youuu!

Hi! Trying to make time to watch all the things I have in my plan to watch, what about you?

I said it's weird cause those are soooo underrated and must people only have one or two, but I think that they are masterpieces in disguise.

Hi! Thank you for accepting the FR. I have to say that I really get all of your selected favourites. It's weird to find someone who likes 86, Class Room of the Elite AND Link Click.

Thank you so much!!

Thank you!

Thank you!!

I see..I was wondering where you went

Oh, nice, nice, was it the same marathon you were talking abt earlier? How’d you do O.O?
Nooo I don’t, I just can’t. I’m unable to continue excersice properly when my eyes are glued to a screen (I tried once TT). Instead, I just vibe to music while running as I usually set a time for how many minutes I need to be on the machine (makes things go by so much faster) Actually, I need music to function for any task; doing hw, art, getting ready, everything. It’s truly an addiction TT. Wby?

Over there parks include exercise machines? That’s cool. Here there’s just gyms or, in my case, condominiums provide a gym for residents. Makes everything so much easier and reachable ^^ ++not many people from my building go down there, so most of the types it’s empty 😃

Is that so? That makes me feel less alone on this, you know of other short girls yourself who are into running aswell? So many connections fr

That makes sense, my cousins into hiking, and he finds his hiking buddies to go with through the same process ^^ mm nah, if you couldn’t already tell, I prefer exercising alone but my sister forces me to go w her because she’s scared to go alone idfk 😐😑 sometimes mom too 😅 its such a relationship bonding moment to do activities alongside your parents tho :D

How’s your skills in football and basketball then? SERIOUSLY!? IM SURE YOU ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT, ITS RUNNING OFCCC

Heyyy! Don’t be too hard on yourself now. I’ve been down the same route before, it’s really draining. Instead of restricting a food all at once, you should try limiting how much you have it! This is so much more realistic and healthier!
Things are expensive around here mostly due to taxes because I’m in Toronto (13% 😵). Other provinces, Alberta, for example, the tax is only 4/5% (maybe even less idk), so everything’s so much cheaper. However, the government issued a tax cut from December to February. Food, groceries, children’s clothing, some other stuff included no taxes. Ahh what a nice few months those were 🥲 Is the tax rate high in Paris?

I always liked Justin Trudeau, he’s a liberal, he’s friendly, welcoming, appreciative to citizens, tries to interact w us…but outside of that, he’s definitely not fit to be a prime minister. I mean, he himself resigned and took out 😂. There’s other Canadian politicians I like, I would name them, but then my city would be revealed >.< ANWAYS, elections coming up, I really don’t agree on any of the candidates being our new pm.

The cat story’s so real! A few years back, my French teacher who had like a million cats (they were all siblings btw) found out one of them was pregnant. She was documenting the whole situation to us, let’s just say that woman was in serious denial! Even when the pregnancy was confirmed she refused to believe one of the brothers were the father. Cats are just…really active 🥴
I don’t have a favourite, all animals are cute to me. Wby? My family used to have birds in my home country, but they die very easily 🥺. Speaking of animals, my dad’s side of the family has a farm, mostly w cows, goats, chickens, etc…a meat farm fr. I guess, I’ve always had somewhat of a connection w animals then ^^.

Yeah, that’s always been the narrative I believed but I saw a guy—who was definitely into younger women—reading stuff targeted at men with an older woman fetish. Then, I overheard another saying , “I like older, taller, meaty women.” So now I’m just confused… figured I’d ask.
I think through being mature/more intelligent for my age, and experiences, its shaped me into only finding older attractive :/
But honestly, that’s not a good thing for me 💔 I tried to change with forcing myself to “like” someone my age, and wow… I just ended up getting bullied by him and his friends for it. They’re just so immature.

DAMNNN your going all out, a boat trip huh? Will it be on a cruise or something like that 🤔 Do you experience sea sickness?

That’s the one thing we don’t have in common xD. My siblings are a couple of years older, let’s just say they’re like my second parents. I’m curious, how does it feel being the oldest one O.O
How old are you btw? I’m thinking somewhere around 23-25, is that right (because you’re still graduating) ?

Thank you so much for the birthday wishes!!!
Anya looks super cute as always~! ♡

OMG that Anya card is so cute 😭😭😭😭😭 Thank you so much for your wishes 💖💖💖 Have a good day ✨✨✨ Indeed a waku waku time I had 💃💃💃💃💃

Hey!

No, I think I won't stay in Japan for longer than this. Of course, in the future, I can't tell, but for now I feel like I would rather live in Finland.

I usually text, but sometimes we have discord call! Like when playing games together or such. Do you call your friends or text? And what do you think about voice mails? I never do those lol.
I do use emojis, because I feel like they help my friends to understand if I'm sarcastic or for real. But when I talk with my mom I don't use them so much, cause I know she doesn't know the meanings much. If I'd sent her a skull for laughing, she would think someone died lol.
I use abbreviations, I blame tiktok for my broken English.

I don't study the languages much in my free time. If I do, it's usually Japanese. Sometimes I listen music from different languages and I've read books in Swedish for example, so I haven't completely forgotten, but I think I don't have much in my active vocabulary. When I finish school, I think I will have more time for studying other languages as well, because right now, if I think of studying, I want to focus on Japanese, as it is my major and is the only one I need to get good grades.
What about you? Do you really study f.ex. English or just use it?

I really don't know what I want to do in the future. Currently it is so hard to get a job in the first place, so I suppose I'm happy to have any.
Did something happen, or just in general feel drained? I hope you feel better soon.
Yeah, I miss teenage life. Just doing whatever haha, but maybe I miss more being like 19-22. It's the good times.
Why do you think life was simpler back then? I mean you still had to go to school and do all that stuff.

France situation sounds like Finland. High taxes...
Hmm, I think it really depends on the person and what kind of job they do. There's also this kind of system, where men and women can split the taking care of the children. What I mean is, for example, the woman goes to work on week 1,3,5,7,9 etc. and the man on 2,4,6,8 etc.
I think it's quite neat, cause they both get to enjoy (and suffer haha) the taking care of the baby.

Yup, it's 6 years! I think it's good, at least for now, because our presidents seem to be more of a face of the country rather than do anything dramatic, so it isn't such a big deal. Tbh, when Stubb (our current president) was elected many people complained. I also voted for the other person for the job, but I haven't really heard much about what he would have done that would have upset people afterwards. He did say recently on some interview, that Europe should be active on Ukraine's case, and I saw some people complain about this, but other than that, nothing much. So I suppose people are ok with him, not very satisfied, but not unsatisfied either. Could be worse, could be better, kind of situation.

Oh burger king, I worked there for a couple of days lol.
My favorite is Hesburger, it's like McDonald's, but Finnish version. Idk why but their food tastes better to me. McDonald's tastes so industrial, like eating plastic or something.
Burger King is ok, but I think they add too much mayonnaise, or so I recall.
I should learn to cook more myself. Somehow it's very hard in Japan. Idk why, but I feel like everything is so different than in Finland. Also I don't want to buy stuff like spices, because I will go back to Finland in 5months, so I'd have to throw them away etc.
Also, actually, in Japan, it's not much cheaper to cook for yourself than by ready made.

I do both, digital and traditional. I always have a paper near me, so I can draw haha.
I usually draw manga characters, just random, my own characters. I'm not super good or anything, but I just always enjoyed doing it.

The band was called sick2. I really want to go see them again a bit later. The only thing that I don't really like in Japanese concert, that they are so silent. I understand that people don't scream during the songs, but when the song ends, they might clap, but that's all. It feels a bit empty and spiritless. But I did like how the people didn't push each others. That happened to me so many times in Finland. Someone even rested their hands on my shoulders!! ugh
Have you gone to concerts a lot? And what kind of music do you like?

My favorite season is Winter, so I like cold weather. However, when it's Summer I want it to feel like it. I think in Summer around 18C is perfect.

Take care too!
