Those Finns who don’t want guests at their birthday (it quite common in the countryside to come without an invitation), publish an adv in a newspaper with the words “en juhli” (I don’t celebrate). Upper and middle class write “matkoilla” (in a trip) and go off for vacations.

Apparently, in Finland there is a “summer chicken” service. One can rent chickens for summer, take care of them in summer cottage, eat eggs. And bring them back once in gets colder. 👌🏻

Showing the 12 most recent of 16 posts we hold for @suomi_en. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
