Shot exactly one week ago in Northern Ostrobothnia. I don't know why this was the biggest video on my Youtube front page.

Just did a quick google search, and wikipedia says that most cities in that region actually speak Swedish, even though it's not actually connected to Sweden aside from water

I don't think Northern Ostrobothnia has as much Fenno-Swedes as Ostrobothnia (two different regions). But yes, there are regions in western Finland where there are big Fenno-Swede communities such as Ostrobothnia and the archipelago.

Pretty much every Finn knows at least little Swedish as it's mandatory subject in schools.

Every Finn also thinks that every Swede is gay while every Swede thinks that every Finn is a barbarian

Why do Swedish motorcyclists use woolen hats instead of helmet?

Because it fared better than helmet when dropped from a tower. :D

Now I know where it comes from. That guy would fit right in on the Keweenaw Peninsula in Michigan. Even the accent is right. So is the couch and trailer.

Here is a random internet picture that I found of the Keweenaw. It is no wonder that there are a lot of Finns in the area.
