November's a bold choice. A British friend was making noises about coming by and I told him to hold off until snow on the ground and longer days - he's coming in February instead.
Jee, new video! This was a one true tourist experience in Helsinki, can't wait if the Tallin part would follow. You two definitely are a dynamic duo 💥 Seem to have so much fun together, glad she could visit. Enjoy the end of semester and happy holidays. Hope you have a special and memorable joulu 🎄
Thanks for the kind comment! I love that you call us the dynamic duo haha. I will check if I have enough videos of Tallin trip, let's see! Happy holidays and merry joulu to you as well 😇🌲
6:23 Um that is the Gulf of Finland not quite a lake. Also Cold & hot therapy becomes very enjoyable after a while, it's the opposite of torture for me 😮💨
@@heya_world you can try it in cold shower. Try to calm your breathing and relax after getting the first shock. You start to get used to the cold after a while. Im not sure about a specific time, its like, feeling based? 🤔 When you can relax yourself stay there for couple of seconds, like 5 ish. Then sauna.
@@heya_world you can start by just trying 30 seconds. Try to get some calms deep breaths in and then just get our. The more you do it, the more you'll be able to stay in. Also it really helps to have swimming shoes (they cost around 20 €) or you can use wool socks (but it's a pain to dry them :D)
That was the freshest/best cold-smoked salmon I've had in my life. Great to know the name, gravlax. Can't wait to try more.

When you go to the sea when it is cold like that (or lake), the thing is that you need to calm down. Just breathe deep and try to calm down. After that, you can swim there, no issue. It's the plunge and the shock that makes it difficult to swim in such cold water.
Ah That's a great advice! I definitely freaked out a bit this time 😄. But when the next opportunity comes for me to try this, ill remember to try breathing deep and being calm. Kiitos 🙏

@@heya_world It happens to us locals too. When i first time tried to go to open ice and swim, i just couldn't and just took few strokes and had to come back. My friend then told me this nugget of information about calming down and breathing deep and after that it was a breeze. First time it helps just to keep holding on the ladder as it makes you bit more comfortable to hold on to something, and then breathe deep and slow and calm down. After the shock goes away, you should be able to swim normally. Don't swim too much on the first time though, your body is still getting used to it. Soon you will be like locals and not even think about it anymore (except perhaps first time every winter). Also, great video, it's always nice to see people enjoying the local traditions and good food :)
So many visitors choose to do ice dipping instead of swimming obviously not realizing that it's actually more difficult and less rewarding. They also let themselves to become overwhelmed by cold and not trusting that their body knows how to handle it. Being tense and nervous, makes the experience more unpleasant. You don't let the positive things to happen snd ti give you more rewarding experience. There is a learning curve, I think. First timers can't be expected to handle it much better even if there would be someone giving them advice.
I'm grateful that people are offering great advices in the comments! I think I have a better idea what to do when I do the cold dive next. Thanks for sharing !
@heya_world There is also the fact that people prefer different experiences. Wearing footwear, ice swimming shoes and hat are helpful. Big waves can be too much. Lakes are usually better in this respect too since they're more likely to be covered by ice, which will dampen swell. Going to a less touristy place, someplace where people go regularly, could offer you better examples of how to optimize your experience.
@heya_world Diving, getting your head wet, changes the situation significantly. I recommend not diving until you are much more familiar with icy water - or not even then, unless you really want to.
Smoke sauna does not have smoke while you are using the sauna, otherwise you would die. Only during the heating there is smoke. And there seems never to be everyday finnish foods on those dinnish menus, potatoes and brown sauce, sausage soup and so on:)
@markoitmard omg. i think i need to go to a finnish family's dinner to get the real finnish meal experience. also, i'm laughing at myself because that is true that the sauna isn't actually filled with smoke, because i would have been coughing so much if so. @@disadadi8958 i totally get it / agree, i wouldn't go to a pricey korean restaurant for a korean home cooked meal 😁 thanks for the comments!
@@heya_world It's not the smoke that's the biggest issue, but carbon monoxide. I don't mind homecooked kind of meals, like salmon soup is pretty easy to cook at home and I don't mind paying for it, but sausage soup or brown sauce without any protein to go with it sounds just meh. Truthfully I don't really find those foods something I want to eat even at home so maybe that's one reason.
Good question! I spent the past 5 years focused on working and saving, and thankfully I am able to fund my current life here without any support from family, etc. Im very lucky that my previous job paid me very well. But I'll have to say, most days I either eat cheap school food (3 euros per meal) or cook myself and minimize my spending =) I will have to find a job again soon though as my savings is limited 🥹 Hmm this makes me think, maybe I should do a video on what I did before going back to school, etc etc! Thanks for asking :)
Yes very expensive. More expensive than Monaco where millionaires live. You can eat noodles and potatoes and one day a week eat lunch buffet. I am Finn and I do that way. And you stay alive with that tactic
Well I would say it's quite expensive, but it's extremely expensive in Helsinki, in the centre area. everything cost 20-50% more in the centre of Helsinki than in cities outside, except some bigger ones. If you compare prices in Finland to Norway, or Switzerland it's cheap here.
What, smoke filled darkness? There should be smoke only when you are heating smoke sauna, not when people go in. Smoke can stick on surfaces but shouldn't be left on air after heating.
Ahh yes yes when I think about it there's no way I could have endured a room filled with smoke 🙈 my imagination went wild in the darkness (wish I can fix my subtitles!)
@heya_world It's very likely that you did smell smoke. Humans do actually have a good olfactory system and can pickup smells even though there wouldn't be a significant amounts of smoke in the air. Your smoke filled sensation is understandable, your brain just didn't incorporate all the available information to rule out those higher concentrations of smoke.

11:22 haha, kotikalja is only 1% alcohol 😁
haha it's the perfect alcohol for me then 😁
Now I remember why I moved to Spain. I almost forgot it, but now when I see the snow.........
Yes, it was my best move in my life!!!!
Really enjoy these! No longer a student so missing a lot of the circles, but hope you enjoy it!
Thank you for the vlog, such good vibes 😊
한국어로 쓰인 핀란드 숫자 재미 있어요!
정말 용감하게 수영하네요! 축하해요! 👏

great video! keep it up! :)
thank you for the video
This was such a fun video to watch :) your friend was great
11:22 Not really alcohol. It's similar to Kvass. Slightly sour / bitter drink which kinda tastes like bread.
08:00 if you get past the first shock it gets really good soon after, you just need to wait for a bit in the water
How long would you recommend me to stay for? I was already struggling so much but maybe next time I can stay longer :D

Oh man seeing that graavilohi (gravlax) in the restaurant makes me so happy it's christmas time

Just few more days and days are going to get longer again. You are doing fine keeping yourself active even when nature says ”⛈️❄️🌬️”

How can you afford all these foods and activities while studying?😁 Finland is extremely expensive country
