So I got to our northern neighbors. Nature and climate are the same here as in Russia, but life is very different.
How do Finns live? Here is a typical sleeping area 10 kilometers from the border.
Look at the entrance: What is the first striking?
1 Little city of Lappeenranta. Total 50 thousand inhabitants. And this is his outskirts. Looking at the photo, our person will already notice many differences: there are no lattices on the windows of the first floors, freely cost bikes near the house (and not even tied), glass doors ... All of this almost won't meet in our cities.
2 But one item stands out especially strongly. In the Russian climate in winter, such a thing would be very useful. In Finland, this is at the entrance to each house! Brush for footwear!
3 In the entrance, the Finns enter, cleaning the shoes from snow. That's the secret, why inside clean: both on the stairs, and in the apartment.
4 The sleeping areas in Finland will soon be a large and detailed video transmission with a local resident. And Zhiguli do not understand at all, from where they came up.
