Many Time People Dont realize - Where The Dancer IS ? We had once a SERIES on TV - HILL ST BLUES - Where They always STARTED The Show by Saying - BE CAREFUL OUT THERE ! # Slippery Streets - snow on the roofs of buildings - ( has killed several ) - People sleep walking - domestic violence - meeting someone with finished smokes etc etc ! Be Carefull Out There ! Summer IS Back on Six months !
Both the people living there and local government always seem to get surprised when the winter comes, just like it has for thousands of years. There's never enough sand/salt for the icy streets, machinery for collecting snow and places to put the piled up snow in. Same with changing your summer tyres to winter ones. Having originally come from Lapland where most of the time everything works nicely, it really baffles me sometimes.
I loved there for seven years from the ages of born to 7 and I loved it. K market in the mall is the best supermarket!!! Karjalan piirakka is also the best snack on the planet
I live there and have seen violence and police at work. No place is 100% safe. But normally you can avoid confrontations, if you are not involved. I don't see why I should fear anywhere, as long as I behave ok.
I've actually lived in both Liipola and Kontula. I wouldn't necessarily move back but you're right, they are not that bad. Maybe a little rough at times but definitely not dangerous.
Kontula is considered dangerous because in Summer there are many drunks and Narcs. You should visit Neighborhoods that have more immigrants, like Havukoski/koivukylä in Vantaa and Varissuo in Turku
@@diego.suomessa Seconding this - please check those abovementioned areas out, as well as Itä-Helsinki - Itäkeskus, Meri-Rastila, Vuosaari and so on :D I am hunting for cheap apartments and need more of your brave investigative journalism reports
I just lived super close to Koivukylä, in Asola, and I for sure like the area, I did all my groceries in Koivukylä, I would absolutely move back there! Before that I was living in Vuosaari, I feel like it is mostly filled with older people, quite calm place. I love Itäkeskus/Itis because of the multicultural feeling there and the shopping center just is super nice. If you visit these areas, don't skip Aurinkolahti and Kallahdenniemi on a sunny day, suuper beautiful! Kontula has been worse maany years ago but it has changed a lot, it is not dangerous anymore.
Thank you for the nice video! I check videos of Helsinki becouse I plan to visit it as a tourist, and it is really useful. It is a nice neighbourhood...
You Should Have Watched - Olympic FINAL Game of Ice Hockey - early at 6.00 am from China ! IT has taken 70 years to play This Good ! RUSSIA finished 2nd - and got silver metal ! The PARTY has STARTED at DOWNTOWN Helsinki - Today at SUNDAY !
Asking the regular people with street smarts is hardly giving good source of information. Crime statistics are better for it. For example if you are asking from random stranger who doesn't spend time outside during night time, then of course he will think that it's a safe place to be. In Finland for decades biker gangs have run the crime circles and they had the policy of not messing with the normal civilians. In other words you only get in trouble if you're voluntarily trying to cause mess in the underworld. So people mostly end up having problems with Druggies. There is also one group of people that Finns generally avoid due to them having very bad reputation. Gypsies are generally avoided by the Finns since their families act like crime syndicates and generally tend to cause some issues such as stabbing and petty criminal acts. Personally I have witnessed brutal bar fights in Kontula. Open death threats between two people with guns and a stabbing victim. Also lot of rape cases I have heard about have happened in Kontula or were related to certain bar within Kontula. Lately there has been increase in violent crime due to youth getting much more violent than they used to be. Government tries to be all hus hus about youth gangs, but it's pretty much common knowledge now that this is becoming similar issue as in Sweden's Malmö. You should've filmed during night time. Even more so talk with people in bars.
@@diego.suomessa Yes, come back evening time and visit THE OSTARI! The Kontula Shopping Centre! I dont understand why you didnt visit it, or how you couldnt find it!!?? You only visited the ”back” of Kontula, Pub Päättäri and Alepa… useless, if your looking for the real action and life. Next time find the Ostari and visit Miami Mopo Bar, Pub Kippari, Pub Paris, Pub 94, London Pub, Oslo Pub and the african night club La Fontana! If you survive all of these, then youve visited Kontula 👍🏼😀 Its a good place to be, you stay alive!
@@diego.suomessa Definitely, come back and do a better part two! I dont understand how you could miss the center of Kontula, the famous ostari, built in late 60’s. With all the shops, barbers and Halal meat and bars… now its white and snowy here, no loskapaska for a moment at least. Bars open to 00:00. Come visit in the weekend!
You were wrong side in kontula, you were in that side where i lived 30years.. actually i didn't see anything bad there for 28years of my life, just heard things what has happened, but past 2 years some people broke my bubble of the great place. The "bad" people are really hiding and usually nice at the same time. Anyway.. the danger is just a legend now what some people are trying to keep alive. The "bad people" just had got old and grew up and are nicest people nowdays 😊 still there is "bad people". But where is not? The other side of Kontula is just a place where even i didn't never go 😅
Holy crap, Diego went to Kontula! Well, if we don't see a from him in the near future you know why... ...he was busy at work, what else did you think? ;)
You didn't go to the open supermarket area. But the bad wheater keeps some people away. Weekend evening and summer nights. Then it's open drug ussage and- drunks looking for a fight ( they most of the time fight with other drunks). I have lived most of my life at kontula. Love it. But because of the bad reputation, it fuels some people's attitude and behavior. So some people act" this is ok, we are here at kontula". I have seen a needle circle and drinking near the church, outside of the metro and other side of the metro tracks. Some drug users even made art. They stick many needles to a tree. Heroin tree. But! 99% of the time they keep to themselves. So no real danger. Feels dangerous even when witnessing, but it's most of the time only the feel and nothing more. The real danger was in many areas in finland at the 1990-2000 , when the 90's big depression hit. Many people were feeling bad. And that reputation is still with us, even tought its not that anymore. Reputation is hard to change and some people are proud of that reputation.
you need to visit leppävaara, there is some gangs and there is very much drug dealing. And you didn't visit Kontula metro station, there are a lot of drunk people and there are a lot of drugs sold and used
Varissuo in Turku and koivukylä in Vantaa. Places that scare native Finns more than Kontula 😂😂.the more international the neighborhood is the more scary it is more some Finns
Good point! Yea Finland has never had a mask mandate since all this started. Just a recommendation to wear masks but it’s still left up to the people to decide
@@diego.suomessa Ohhh I didn't realize that!. It's surprising to see how casual it was in the cafe you went to, no masks. Here it's very strict, masks + vaccination passports are needed to go anywhere, at the moment, anyway !
Some say that They Lost The intrest of OLYMPIC - Ice Hockey - Thanks to NO NHL Players ? As I Have a Q - How was IT at Vancouver - were The People on The Streets like 2010 - as Finland - made MIRACLE ON ICE - as The MIGHTY RUSSIANS finished 2nd ! At Lake Placid 1980 - The game was Not on any MAJOR BROADCASTING Channel - so that many Americans found Out Later - what had happened ! At This Time in Finland - Every Household - They Dog ALARM way before 6am - to watch LIVE ! IT has taken 70 long years to play This Good vs RUSSIANS - as We won at Calgary - with The same RESULT - and finished 2nd 1988 ! We still remember Those Games - as The BEST EVER - Thanks to Ski Jumpers - Matti NYKANEN & EDDIE EDWARDS ! As John Candy was a Coach to JAMAICA - Curling Team !

@@diego.suomessa tropoja or in Kosovo go in vranjefc its a part of prishtina or dardania these are all dangerous especially at night and if u mess with the wrong people u can die but if u don’t mess with anyone u would be fine maybe
The icy streets looked pretty dangerous. You could fall and break a hip.
that was the biggest enemy in Kontula
same thing everywhere in finland.
it isn’t even bad
just deal with it
True 😅😅
The most dangerous thing about Helsinki is slipping and falling on the ice.

Of course we missed you! Nice to see you back.
An interesting exercise, and you met some very decent people there in Kontula. Even the supermarket staff didn't tell you not to film.... ha ha!
Hey you are right, the staff was friendlier than in Liipola 😄
My finnish wife recognized where you are. She says if you go to city center or big stores that's were the trouble is. Nice interviews!
Diego you are such a bad ass! 😄 You survived Kontula.
The only danger was the slush :D
That is Kontula but you was in vesala if you got Kontu last shopping centre it more dangerous il live on Kontu lake kivikko it’s peaceful place
