You got the platinum medal for the 25k, that's why it didn't look like gold.

congrats on 1000 videos 🎉💪

We can't play along if you didn't set it to Challenge! All i can see is your results

gg

Bicycle routes (kevyen liikenteen väylät) are not anNew phenomenon in Finland. I guess the boom started as early as in late 1970s and 1980s.

That "lighthouse" sign directs travellers towards "Rantatie" - road on the coast. It goes along the Gulf of Bothnia all the way from the south to the north. Haukipudas is now a part of Oulu, the municipal merger happened in 2013.

10:27 "Myrkky" means poison in Finnish. Quite an interesting location name. 21:09 "Messinki" is brass in Finnish. It's from the Germanic word "messing"

That fighter plane is Draken SAAB J 35B, which was used as a training plane in the Finnish Air Force for 23 years (1972-1995).

I live in Teuva second round of game lol

Thanks for watching! Kiitos katsomisesta! Come check me out on X : twitter.com/AllOverTheMapYT

Kaivopuisto is a District of Helsinki... a very opulent one, and home to many embassies, biggest of them being the US embassy. The other district full of embassies is Kulosaari, which is also very opulent.

I've been to Gothenburg as a child, but only accidentally :D Back then (early 1980s) there was a cruise ship called Finnjet (built 1977) that sailed between Helsinki and Germany. My mother and I and some family friends took the cruise and had a good time in Hamburg. But when we were supposed to travel back home, we were told that Finnjet was broken and that they'd arrange an alternate route for us. It became maybe a bit bigger detour than we expected. Another ship took us to Gothenburg and then a bus drove us from there to Stockholm. Then yet another ship took us back to Helsinki. Not what we had planned, but hey, we got to see the world :D Towards the end of its life cycle, Finnjet did one unanticipated trip. When the hurricane Katrina caused havoc in New Orleans in 2005, Finnjet was sent there to act as temporary lodging for students whose campus had been destroyed. I felt good about that because I had good memories of the ship and it was nice to see that it got such a worthy task at the end of its life. After that it changed owners a few times and was finally scrapped in 2008.

I recognised the last one as Kuopio because of two stores: the Carlson department store and the Partanen toy store, which used to be the biggest toy store in Finland. Both of these are exceptional stores because they have managed to be around for a very long time but haven't needed to join any bigger chain. Carlson started maybe 150 years ago, Partanen in 1966. I remember that Partanen was one of my favorite places when I was a kid back in the 1970s and 80s because it was HUGE compared to other places that sold toys. A lot of smaller stores have been sucked into the K-group or S-group over the years, or have been bought by international companies, but these two have somehow managed to be successful on their own. Nowadays they both have stores also elsewhere but they both started out in Kuopio.

You pronounce finnish and swedish words quite well! Usually they are butchered quite badly by people not familiar with the languages.

About the old American cars, as a Finn (never owned one but have driven as a guest a couple) as I saw it from the outside it was the community around the hobby. They were cars to restore/modify, drive around in hobbyist gatherings, and to been seen in.

Keskusta ---)) go towards that word since it is the city center or a village center...

Those destinations are in Espoo, not in Helsinki. Espoo is an independent city. It's the same, for example, it's like saying Texas to New York.

I know number 4 immediatly since it's in Kotka and im from Kotka, been to that Prisma countless of times

probably best movie is mielensä pahoittaja 2

13:07 my home town🎉

It was so funny to see the K market of my village here

The first one actually seems quite new based on the logo.

These aren’t new buildings. The kone tower is from 2001 and the other one is from 1976.

11:50 I think you overcomplicated things from this point. You're travelling in the direction of Sidcup as per the road sign, and you're going in a south-eastern direction, so you would have to be north west of Sidcup. You did well overall though and your English football knowledge is good.

As for the classic american cars, after WW2 Sweden and Switzerland were pretty much the only countries in Europe with fully operational industries as a result both countries experienced a huge economic booms. So while the rest of Europe bought small affordable European cars Swedes could afford to import large American cars.

IS THAT MY LOCAL TESCO IN THE THUMBNAIL?? IT LOOKS IDENTICAL

only started watching your videos recently (& really enjoying them) commenting because i have been to round 3 lol. fyi newcastle isn’t in yorkshire, newcastle upon tyne is in tyne and wear:) maybe a northern/yorkshire or coastal game would be interesting !

As a Finn these were very easy. It is curious how one just knows, it is just the little things. Only two pics i wasnt 100% sure but i got them right.

MOT does stand for "Ministry of Transport" which WAS the name of the government organisation which administered vehicle licensing and testing. It's had several names over the years and has been known as the Department for Transport (DfT) since 2002. The agency of the DfT which administers vehicle testing nowadays is the DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), but the annual test which vehicles have to pass to test their roadworthiness is still call the "MOT Test"

I was born and grew up in Doncaster then moved to the Yorkshire Dales and then Harrogate

Found your videos lately and looking through the UK backlog a bit - really interesting to see UK Geography from the perspective of a football fan abroad. My first time recognising a location on sight with this video; used to donate blood at Pride Park Stadium!

Tall? So you mean pretty much the shortest buildings cities around the World are building... Finland has a law, which pretty much prohibits anything over 16- stories being built. Then they just slap some hideous cladding on those concrete elements (if even that) and call it a day.

Bananarama just covered the song. Original from shocking blue is way better.

Im from oslo

How about another Finnish region game? Because you've already played Lapland and Uusimaa, you should try something else (like Pirkanmaa or Southwest Finland).

K-markets are staple in Finnish urban and rural landscape. They also feature quite a lot of autonomy to tailor their services to meet the needs and demands of their local communities, especially when talking about local suppliers such as local farms, orchards and livestock farms. Many also function as posts and/or bus stops in smaller and/or dying communities. their mothercompany Kesko also puts quite a lot of effort into building good quality food-and-delicacy service counters on bigger Citymarkets. Although they cannot compete in terms of prices, they and their beloved rival S-group form the largest grocery shop chains here in Finland

One of my favourite chippies locally is run by a Chinese family so they sell Chinese food too, the Chinese curry goes so well with fish and chips

Your question is evil. I love both. I could eat a full English for breakfast every morning. I usually do when staying in an all inclusive hotel. I don’t think I could eat a roast every day, but when done right, damn are they great. I’ll say a fry up wins. Just.

Great video!

Gamla Stan. The name literally says "Old Town" so probably not the place to have modern buildings.

Round 1: The bus tells us we're in London. I don't recognise the route number but a destination of White City means we're almost certainly in west or north west London. In the distance there looks to be a tube train on the bridge so I head in that direction and soon identify it as Shepherd's Bush Market and that's all I need for 5000 points. Round 2: Identified it as Manchester very quickly due to the pedeistrian signs at the corner of the main road, but as is typical for me in that city I failed to find the exact location quickly. Got 79 yards away after the time limit. Disappointing. Round 3: This looks familiar. I've been to the X-scape places in Milton Keynes and Castleford, this looks like the latter but I'm not certain. A sign saying Leeds and junction 32 confirms it. Easy round for me. Round 4: There are likely many places with a Westgate Retail Park, but the sign on the McDonalds telling us our nearest restraunt is in the Wakefield area means that's worth a look, especially as Wakefield's main station is Wakefield Westgate. Turns out that was a good guess. Round 5: Back to London. Frith Street W1 sounds very familiar but I can't place it. I go south, Old Compton Street is even more familiar, but it's the Curzon Cinema that sparks the relevant brain cells - this is just north of China Town, somewhere I know quite well. Overall, just the 4 points lost in Manchester.

Have you tried the Wetherspoons map yet? It's a classic

I'm from Harrogate and I don't eat sweets 😂

The other tall building in the end was the Neste (later Fortum) tower which was the tallest in Finland when built. The nearby building with round shape was the old Nokia hq. Now Fortum hq is in the old Nokia building, and Neste (which got spun back out from Fortum) hq is in another nearby building, but neither is in the old Neste/Fortum tower.

Arsenal v Villa tomorrow, will be a good game, that's what I'm looking forward to this weekend

The qpr stadium was just behind that nandos in the first round

@5:35 he is searching bottles. we get 15 cents those epty in store so when u homless ucan make easy beer money those

Seaside piers would be a good game

As a UK resident I was shouting at you for missing some clues. But you got there in the end.

Well played 😊 is a nice Friday evening here in England, lakenheath in Suffolk to be exact. Hopefully Ipswich Town play OK tomorrow is away to Manchester City 🙏 Can you play a game for the County of Suffolk or the East anglia Region? That would be cool to see 😊
