Can you play "Suomen lukiot" game? It's Finnish high schools!🤩
@@Ihmisrulla_ no pervs on da channel, pls.
The old wooden rollercoaster at Linnanmäki is a staple. It was built for the 1952 Olympic games and had a planned life span of just couple of years. But with constant upkeep and replacement of the wooden parts it is still in action today. The carriages still have a human operator riding at the back and you can actually be trained by Linnanmäki to become a "brake master". It is not the most crazy rollercoaster in the world but absolutely one of the most nostalgic. The smell of teak oil the wooden parts are treated with is absolutely intoxicating.
I love old wooden rollercoasters - the noise of climbing the hill and the feel... can't beat it
I would recommend sauteed reindeer (often served with mashed potatoes), salmon soup, Karelian pasty, korvapuusti (cinnamon bun) and other types of pulla and munkki, bilberry (European blueberry) pie, Finnish long drink (lonkero) if you like gin, Fazer Blue milk chocolate, Tupla chocolate bar, Tutti Frutti fruit candy... Also salty licorice and tar licorice like Tyrkisk Peber and Terva Leijona of course 🤭
All sounds so good! What is a a Karelian pasty?
@@alloverthemap23 Karelian pasties are traditional Finnish pasties originating from the region of Karelia. It has a thin rye crust with a filling of rice, which is usually brushed with egg butter.
@@alloverthemap23Like the person above said, Karelian pasty (karjalanpiirakka or riisipiirakka) is rice porridge baked in a thin rye crust and often served with egg butter :)
Pulla and munkki are sweet bread/bun and doughnut with cardamom. That's why I would recommend them, especially the cinnamon roll, as they aren't quite the same outside of Finland and Sweden I believe.
That Oulu round was a bit tough cause the downtown has changed so much from the imagery. @4:22 Vaasa is bilingual city so the streets have both Finnish and Swedish names. Google maps seems to prefer only showing the majority language name, which is why the map in Vaasa shows Finnish street names, whereas in Pietarsaari (a majorly Swedish speaking town) the street names are shown in Swedish. @5:18 Karjalanpiirakka (Karelian pasty, a thin rye crust filled with rice, served with egg butter on top), is a must have in my opinion. Different fresh water fish dishes are also great, like fried perch or zander, pike balls, fish soup, kalakukko (lit. fish rooster, tho it has nothing to do with actual roosters. It's like a big loaf of rye bread, but filled with fish and fatty pork meat.) For candy, like it or not, everyone should try salty black licorice :D @6:45 For street food makkaraperunat (fried sausage and potatoes, sometimes onions, topped with ketchup and mustard), lihapiirakka (meat pie, made from savory doughnut dough, filled with rice and ground meat, then deep fried. They are often served sliced in half with wiener, fried egg and/or ham in between, topped with ketchup, mustard, onion and/or relish.) and fried vendace (sometimes also called needle vendace, neulamuikku, if the fish are really small. Small vendace don't need to be gutted or scaled before eating and the fishbones are small and soften when cooked so the entire fish can be eaten safely. The fish are coated with rye flour and a pinch of salt, then fried in butter.) are pretty typical. @22:42 I don't think there's that much of a prevalence in Volvos in the western part of Finland, they're pretty common all around. The tower is just a water tower.
Longer format for the win. I love looking at you explore.
Reindeer stew (Northern)
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saut%C3%A9ed_reindeer
Salmon soup (Southwestern): en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lohikeitto
Karelian stew (Eastern):

*Jakobstad* (Pietarsaari in Finnish) literally means "Jacob's Town" as it is named after the Swedish statesman, Count Jacob De la Gardie (1583-1652). The tower you saw is the town's water tower.
What a water tower! Impressive
@@alloverthemap23 Yeah there are lots of water towers all over Finland. They store water and regulate the water pressure in the water grid. They usualy have an observatory at the top where you can go and view the town.
Super interesting to watch this as someone who moved from Oulu to the US nearly ten years ago. What is seemingly a glitch in the Oulu map is actually just an updated map with an older street view. There's a shopping center there instead of a road going through. Also, St. Michael was my go-to spot back in the day, definitely drop in there if you ever visit Oulu!
Interesting footage from Linnanmäki. It looked that it was taken in the autumn after the park had been closed for winter. Hint for the last round: The Swedish streetsigns were on top of Finnish. It means that the city has Swedish speaking majority and it is most likely Jakobstad, Ekenäs, Kristinestad or Karis. I'm using the Swedish names here as they appear on English Google Maps like in the game. There are several similar towns on the coastal areas, but the probability for those four is the biggest. And of course as you know, on Åland there's Swedish only on the signs.
Nice game again! You've got a good hint of thé characteristics of many Finnish towns and cities 👍
Round 4: I wrote a couple days ago I hope there'd up-to-date views over Turku market square. You hit another place which is under major changes. Varsinais-Suomen liitto building is under dismantling. The whole main railway station area will be rebuilt. A new station (Matkakeskus) is in planning. Btw. Varsinais-Suomi ("Finland Proper") refers to a history that originally only Southwestern part of the country was called Finland.
A vote for Finnish original Lonkero, even for a pineapple one. Well-prepared Baltic herring is a dish worth tasting.
About Volvo cars: I think Volvo used to be more popular in the past. It's still the 3rd in the list in total, but not as popular in the list of new cars. I don't recognize difference between the west and the east, but an interesting point-of-view. Russian cars are not popular at all, not even in the east. Toyota is the number one (from the Far East) 🤗
Vaasa is a bilingual place with Finnish majority. So ther signs and street names are in Swedish as well. "Rauhankatu" is "Fredsgatan" in Swedish and it means 'peace street'. "Asemakatu"/"Stationsgatan" means 'station street', referring to the railway station.
"Varsinais-Suomen liitto"/"Egentliga Finlands förbund" is an organisation for the region of Southwestern Finland. I'm kind of hazy what those region organisations do but I think they deal with regional development and planning.
Jakobstad (Pietarsaari) strikes again. I think it is the largest town with Swedish-speaking majority. Then there's also Kristinestad (Kristiinankaupunki) but it's smaller as is Nykarleby (Uusikaarlepyy). And Raseborg (Raasepori) in the south, its centre is Ekenäs (Tammisaari), which I think is smaller than Kristinestad. And also Mariehamn (Maarianhamina) in Åland (Ahvenanmaa). The tower in Jakobstad is a water tower from 1931, designed by architect Lars Sonck.
Finnish foods? Reindeer stew (I also like elk very much) with mashed potatoes is a classic as is the creamy salmon soup. Candy: Fazer chocolate but I also like Panda chocolate (do not include panda parts). Try licorice, Fazer, Panda or Brunberg or smaller manufacturers. It might not be your cup of tea.
Then there are modern restaurants in bigger cities where you can get Finnish food with a new twist. I don't know those well enough to recommend any.
The wooden roller coaster in Linnanmäki is a must, also the whitewater "Hurjakuru" is nice. Personally, I'm not a big amusement park goer and I'd prefer the ferris wheel "Rinkeli". "Vonkaputous" was dismantled already in 2017 so the imagery is old.
Reindeer stew! Does it include carrots and potatoes in it?
@@alloverthemap23, reindeer stew (poronkäristys) normally has no carrots or potatoes, other than the mashed potatoes served with it. Apparently it's also called "sautéed reindeer" in English as well. It's reindeer steak (?), cut when frozen, fried, and then sautéed until tender. It is eaten with lingonberry/cowberry preserve (or jam), which gives tartness to the dish.
"Karjalanpaisti" ('Karelian stew') is made from different meats, traditionally pork, beef and mutton but mutton is currently often omitted. It has carrots and onions prepared in oven as the meat cooks.
The now combined Raasepori is the largest (in terms of population) bilingual, with Swedish speaking majority, municipality. Mustasaari (Korsholm, surrounding Vaasa, doesn't have a town status, unlike the others) is next, then Pietarsaari and Parainen (Pargas, near Turku). Every municipality in Åland is technically monolingual in Swedish, but Maarianhamina would be the next largest municipality that has Swedish speaking majority.
1st one looked really familiar. About 1 km from where I live. Turku I knew as soon as I saw the railwaystation. I have been there several times on train.
All of these except Linnanmäki were actually strange places to me, a native finn over 50.
There is still one standing shot tower in Finland, 70 miles from my home in Tampere, in the Pispala part of town, called Pispalan haulitorni.
I took a turn in it's yard a week ago with my Honda monkey! 🎉
fi.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pispalan_Haulitehdas
3:00 'rautatieasema'
7:38 That tower takes customers to height of 53 m to see the scenery. It broke down a week ago, and 16 people waited there two hours to be rescued.
9:49 Why didn't you look the map... maybe it would have helped. :D 18:43 It really is. :)
20:30 Those boots are made for walking ;) 24:40 Coastal game.
Oh damn you found my unfinished map 😅 I actually started making the map *for you* but never got back to finishing it.
At least here in Oulu, the traditional food is now different forms of kebab. Not very unique. But rye bread is something you don't get in the states very often, might want to try that. Then there's Karelian pies, kalakukko (no translation exists), and of course reindeer meat. For the sweets, finnish chocolates are very good and then the licorice and salmiakki candies everyone else in the world hates. Might want to wash those down with some pineapple long drink which for some reason is a thing now. Haven't heard they have it anywhere else.
Also now that you landed in Oulu on round 3, the street view of the initial location is stupidly old. None of that is there anymore and instead there's a fairly large shopping mall now, no wonder you got confused about the map. Luckily St. Michael is still there though.
2 last ones are the only places I've lived
Hyvää iltaa nuori Suomi !
