00:00Fars, it's time for another Laquatcha.
00:02We're going to have a heart-to-heart talk.
00:05Local blood, but global life!
00:07Yes!
00:08That's why we have Fars Benson Dulos,
00:11our Fars of the World this morning.
00:13And he is joining us all the way from...
00:16Finland!
00:18Hey, Fars!
00:19Good morning, Fars from Finland.
00:22Kuya Kip, we're just in time.
00:25Kaya! I love it!
00:28Fars Benson, how long have you been in Finland?
00:30I've been in Finland for more than 14 years.
00:33Fars Benson, can you greet us in Finnish?
00:38Let me introduce myself.
00:39I am Kamil, and this is Kuya Kip.
00:42I said, welcome to Finland.
00:44I am Kamil and this is Kuya Kip.
00:45How long did it take you to master Finnish?
00:50It took me about five years to master Finnish.
00:56Until now, of course.
00:58I tried to learn Finnish until I started.
01:01He didn't finish it.
01:03Nice one!
01:06Kuya, I like that!
01:08I like that!
01:09So Fars Benson, you're an international marketer there.
01:13So basically, what do you do there?
01:15We have prototypes here.
01:17For example, packaging cabinets, appliances.
01:19We check the market in certain countries.
01:23For example, for Asian countries,
01:25we need to check if the prototypes are qualified
01:29by the standards of a country.
01:31Okay.
01:32So there are international standards, right?
01:34ISQA, etc.
01:36How did you end up in Finland?
01:37Why did you end up in Finland?
01:40I came here as a student.
01:42My brother asked me if I wanted to study in Finland.
01:46I said, of course, Europe, Finland.
01:48I said yes right away.
01:49At that time, I was working in the Philippines.
01:52I had a good job.
01:54But of course, when he said Europe, wow!
01:57The opportunity was there.
01:58I really grew up there.
01:59You grew up there.
02:00Do you have a family there now?
02:03Yes.
02:03Is your husband Filipino or Finnish?
02:06Finnish.
02:07Finnish!
02:08Wow!
02:10I want to see your children.
02:11Is Fars handsome?
02:13Yes, he's handsome.
02:14Are his children pretty?
02:15Did Fars say anything bad about me?
02:16No, he didn't.
02:17I'm just confirming that, Kuya.
02:19I just want to have fun in Finland.
02:21You'll take us there, Benson.
02:23Okay, let's go to Fars.
02:26Wow!
02:27Yellow, yellow, yellow!
02:28Where is it?
02:29It's beautiful in the city center.
02:30That's the old shopping hall.
02:33It looks like a small market but it's inside.
02:37The flea market is in front of it.
02:38It's where the old people used to sell their goods in Katagalugan.
02:41How cold is it in that place?
02:43Fars is here in the heart of Finland.
02:46The temperature is minus 25 degrees.
02:48Minus 25?
02:49Wow!
02:50It's like a refrigerator.
02:51Yes.
02:52Does it freeze almost all year round?
02:55No, it doesn't.
02:56It starts to freeze from November up to March, sometimes until April.
03:03But after that, it starts to freeze in the spring and summer.
03:11There's nothing to do.
03:12It's all morning.
03:13It's all morning.
03:14The sun doesn't set anymore.
03:16Sir, you know what, Benson?
03:18I feel like you're used to the snow.
03:21It's like the snow is gone.
03:23And it's cold.
03:24It's like we're in the jungle.
03:26Where is this, Benson?
03:27It's one of the rapids in Kiminki, Poitili.
03:32It's a river.
03:35It's frozen.
03:36You're right, Mars Ea.
03:38It's very cold.
03:39I can manage here.
03:40There's a heater inside.
03:45There are radiators inside the house.
03:47So, I can manage.
03:48With my thick skin, I can manage.
03:51Do you remember, Mars?
03:53Do you remember the heat in the Philippines?
03:55Yes.
03:56When did you come back here?
03:57Correct.
03:58When did I come back here?
03:59In 2020, the pandemic started.
04:04Of course, I miss the humidity here.
04:07When I enter the sauna here in Finland, I miss the humidity.
04:12You feel dry.
04:13No.
04:14That's why people get old quickly.
04:17Because of the dryness.
04:18That's why they need to moisturize.
04:20Yes.
04:21They need to moisturize and have a sauna to get rid of the odds.
04:25They need to have a sauna.
04:26Bento invented a sauna in Finland, by the way.
04:28Yes.
04:29I invented cartoons also.
04:31Mars, we can see that there's a huge ice bar.
04:35It's like a beach.
04:36Is that a beach?
04:37Yes, it's a beach.
04:39Beach here, Mars.
04:40Where's the water, Mars?
04:42It's frozen.
04:43Mars, the sand turned into ice.
04:45It's all over the place.
04:46What's this, Mars?
04:47It's snowing.
04:48That's where I used to live in the city center.
04:52It's really beautiful.
04:54Those are birch trees.
04:55Hey, we're here.
04:57It's like a shopping mall.
04:58Mars, we're here.
04:59We're here.
05:00Let's go inside, Bento.
05:01What's that, Mars?
05:02That's the city center.
05:03That's where I used to walk during the pandemic.
05:07It's like a ghost town.
05:09Really?
05:10I thought it was you.
05:11Actually,
05:12there's no lockdown,
05:14but there's a restriction when it comes to this city.
05:17People really follow the regulations.
05:20If they say, stay at home,
05:21no one will go outside.
05:23Mars, look at this.
05:24What is this place?
05:25It's beautiful.
05:26There.
05:27That's where the rabbits used to be.
05:29It's frozen.
05:30It used to be all ice,
05:32but I saw that bridge.
05:34So this is the bridge there.
05:36Wow!
05:38Is there an activity you can do here, Mars?
05:40Can you do anything here?
05:41Is it canoeing?
05:43You can do canoeing,
05:45fishing,
05:46digging,
05:47camping.
05:48You can also have a certain license.
05:51And it's free to go to their park.
05:54What's beautiful about Finland
05:56when it comes to leisure,
05:58family,
06:00theme parks,
06:02it's really here.
06:04Wait, let's eat first, Mars.
06:07Mars, let's eat first.
06:09What do you call this?
06:11Jollotorto.
06:13It means
06:15Christmas pastry.
06:17Christmas pastry.

06:28and you and I will connect.
06:30We'll apply for a visa
06:31to go there.

06:35for us to grill.
