The worst thing about living in Finland... mahamainos
DebbizZ yes exactly
Vittu jouduin kattoo sen just äskö.
Vexi Vau.
Poliisi Mestari jep (:
Niin totta!
When the winter is long you appreciate summer more
The old lady got embarrassed because she could not speak english.. x)
I had a similar experience in the Riihimäki art gallery when going in to see an exhibition - I have 'baby' Finnish and the lady on the desk had little English as well ... but we got by with appropriate pointing and miming :lol:
Lol most likely
We finns get embarrassed very easily :)

I would appreciate the "(Q&A)" at the end of the title of the video so I know what to expect.
Kari Grandi Dave's videos have high production value. He doesn't need to use clickbait to get people to watch his videos. He doesn't usually use it either so I thought I'd point out that I definitely noticed.
So to me it's pretty obvious which one out of the two of us is the immature one here.
The worst thing about living in Finland is the Klarna commercial
Poppa wot is that?
Alf Blue google it
Poppa historical 😂
I HATE the Yango commercial
Finnish people loves when someone who speaks english comes over and askes a question. Or atleast I do.
Why the lady got blushed in her country for you? If she was really old lady, then there might be one answer. In Finland english in schools is pretty new thing. We don't have to go back so much, example at 1950-1970 english was very new language in the schools, and it took until 1980 when it actually became popular between students. Before that teaching english in schools was very limited, but they learned more Swedish and German language. So. I believe the lady got blushed since she might not know how to answer you back. It's polite to say that it's ok, but this moment the lady might not have the words.
Such a nice video, Dave!
Great video again, keep up the great job!💪💪
Hi Dave, I also have often the same feeling that you described at the end of the video. My strategy is to just shout at myself that "I AM THE BEST" to get my self-confidence up. Secondly, your audience just wants to see you doing something that you enjoy. All the best to you!
I'll have to try that! Thanks man
“Walking and riding a bike in the city pointing a camera at your face” sounds like me 😂😂😂
Really liked this kind of video! 👌 Thanks Dave! 😊
I visited Finland last March and I had a lot of anxiety not knowing the language and going out by myself, especially to the grocery store. I had a couple of people trying to speak to me. The most memorable was I was walking on a frozen lake and an old man who was out there stopped to chat about something. I had to sheepishly tell him I don't speak Finnish so we had this weird ackward moment in the middle of a lake with no one around.
Did you kiss?
Can't wait to see the video of your visit in Tampere! :)
last winter was quite harsh though, past few years I have been living in finland, the past winters were not as cold and long as last one XD
This truly is a beutifully random video ❤️ good job Dave 👌
I started watching your channel on my own and now I got my husband watching too ! :) just like to hear your perspective
Dave literally just filmed my house and the park outside it. I feel honored 😂😂
3 2 1 great transition! Editing done better than in most movies :D
Keep this content up:)
You can use the city bike for longer than 30 minutes - it will just cost you additional €1 per 30 minutes. You can’t use it for longer than 5 hours though - you would be fined €80 for that.
anastasia_oz thats fucking expencive! What about that bike card or is that with the card.
Finland is expensive in general... *duh* I haven't heard of any special bike cards. You can link the HSL travel card to your account and use it to identify yourself but not to pay for the bike. You pay with your credit card. But within the plan you have unlimited 30-minute rides, so if you need to cycle for longer than 30 minutes, you can just return the bike to the nearest station before that time runs out and immediately take the same bike again. That's what I've always done to avoid paying an additional euro :)
anastasia_oz isnt like 30€ fot the whole summer.
Yes, it is. And this includes unlimited 30-minute rides. If you want to cycle for longer than 30 minutes, the first 30 minutes will be included in the plan but you would have to pay additional 1 Euro for the next 30 minutes.
anastasia_oz oh ok. So that means i wont buy that then. I will just use my oen bike.
I like random vids because they are usually funny&entertaining and its better to see u in random vid then not seeing you at all.
I agree about the winters being too long! You should get a winter hobby. Something that you can only do during winter. Start skiing or something. I've heard it makes winters easier and go by a lot faster. I should try that too XD
i wish the snow would fall on 23rd of December and melt away on January 2nd :D I'm not really a winter person.
LividMoodflow wow, I always felt the same about snow)
Well move to a more southern country than.
If summer would last that long that would be great. Wouldn't have to deal with the biggest reason i hate summer, the mosquitos, for long.
This video was so so sooo AWESOME!!!
You have come to watch rally to Jyväskylä on this summer!
#Rallienglanti :D
my tip for doing some things that might seem embarrassing to do for you... imagine yourself seeing someone else doing it. Like filming themselves in public. What would YOU think about, seeing it? For me, even if filming yourself was very unusual to see, I'd still immediately understand that this person probably has a reason for doing that. After all filming yourself isn't weird, the only thing making it unusual is daring to do it in public. So it would make me curious enough to look for a couple of moments but then I'd just move on, no big deal. So why would any other stranger think you're weird for it? Or if they do, doesn't it just mean that they're a very judgemental person, in which case... who cares what they think?
If you are in Helsinkin during the Summer I can recommend the Flow Festival. It is definitely the most adult festival in Finland (and also one of the only ones I know that is adults only). Even though I don't know the artist I have always had a good time. I think it is the best organized festival in Finland.
loved the video :)
the last winter was so snowy but most winters aren't especially in the very southern parts of Finland. In south of Finland there are winters that have snow only occasionally during the winter. And I guess as climate warms more snowy winters in southern parts of the country will become more rare.
Wohoo my neighborhood.. Nice bar at the upper floors of Clarion, great views..
1million Euros in Finland? Maybe then I could afford the €8 Euro Helsinki Beers more often! (Oh how I miss Weatherspoons!)
5:59 Start listening to Finnish metal when the long dark winter gets to you. Soon enough you will be one of us.
Hi Dave! don’t be too hesitant, embrace your ideas :) I think you have a ”vloggers block” and you just need to battle it through! one fun idea would be to vlog 1 minute every hour, but you need to commit to do it every hour 🤣
Welcome to the Tampere. If I see you around I'll make sure to say hi and shake your hand in a most none-creepy way 😁
@Jonssoni921 Lol what? I might understand Heksinki but not the other ones
It's been SEVEN weeks since you've moved?!! Wow time flies
You should go to salmisaarenliikuntakeskus its literally on the other side of that sea and its really fun my dad works
There
Helmet Dave Helmet... KYPÄRÄ!
Hey, City bikes are awesome! I ride them too. One of the great things in Helsinki in summer. :)
Have you been to the rhododendron park in Haaga? If you haven't, you gotta, it's beautiful especially in the summer. Love ur vids, I've watched like 20 just today bc I just discovered this channel, lol. Anyway, keep it up, you're funny af
Nice video, Dave! Can you pleeeeeease make a new "Trying to learn Finnish" video? Those are so funny and I think it would be good for you too. 😉

You should definitely check out "Erämessut" this summer in Riihimäki! It runs through 7th and 10th of June and there are all kinds of outdoors stuff related to fishing, hunting, trecking, nature and so on! There are also a lot of different artisans doing traditional work such as smithing, carving and jewellery. And a lot of good food and especially paistetut muikut are great and them alone are a reason to visit in my books =) I live right next to them so I always visit when they're in town. But yea! Definitely check it out!
Have you ever visited in finnish national parks? I recommend visiting them.
I definitely recommend Ruisrock, Ilosaarirock and John Smith Rock Festival if you want something more intimate.
Go to Korkeasaari! It is a fantastic zoo. You have to do it someday.
Awesome video
so what was his favorite place in helsinki? he never answered that quetion
Wait... WHAT!? That place. Ruoholahti. You walked right past my Granny's apartment XD!
That's what I do with writing..I have lovely ideas..overthink them and then it all sounds stupid..I would love to write a book about love mainly.❤
I love your videos❤❤
Aw thanks Alyssa!
Please try Pantteri ice cream cone, bet you'd love it!
One of the really good things about Finland is that you can come here without having any stuff, its kinda cheap here, and almost everything like food and other products are really good
Dave, you seems to be an honest and friendly man, so please don't use those clickbaits, they don't suit you
I mean, you should have put 'Q&A' on this video's title for example to make it clear
I thaught the town will look prettier. That buildings look not good. Please show other parts of the city as well. Isn't there a big, kind of wintergarden with plants in it, somewhere? And is the landscape very flat or does it have hills. What's the highest hill in the town?
I've noticed that your filming style has taken inspiration from Peter McKinnon! 😀 he's a inspiration for me too
I'm going to recommend you good festivals here in Finland: Tuska, John Smith and Rockfest
Are you going to Foom Fest to see Peter McKinnon next week?
No :( I'd love to hear him talk though!
Go check out hakametsä in Tampere if you can. Also if you have time, Nokia is a city in Finland and is near Tampere and if you can you should come check it out. It's really beautifull, peacefull and really weird as in it's part city and part countryside. Like my house, from the front yard you see a school and other houses and stuff but from the back yard it's just a forest.
We don't have starbucks and walmart in every town 😞 that are the problems.
Have you ever been to eastern or northern Helsinki?
Lol I've never seen that "TULEE" on elevator before!
Its Better - Than TULI !
Goddamn I hope I see you somewhere around Tampere!
Are you going to go to Meripäivät?
You need to chill with the pressure of making videos. You do you. We are happy with any content you film. Whether the videos are planned or random
If you can do this thing if you want you can go and see muurola and totontie 12 in muurola
the worst thing is that everything is so far away
Hi Dave
Can you come one day to me I live in Kirkkonummi
Don't care when people are watching when you're recording! At least everyone is interested what you're doing 😃
Hi ... I am watching your video from 2020 where there's a virus called Covid-19 and all festivals are cancelled here in Europe including Finland and in this very video you said you wouldn't go to Festivals now but in the future you would go, I advise you to go now in 2018 before this would start in late 2019 .... Wish you luck!
Cold winters, dark and cost of living.....
Rod Herscher and heavy metal. Move to Sweden: there’s warm piss warmed in sunshine
Helsinki's a small city compared to other europeans ones! You might very well meet these people again! ;)
Hey Dave!
Can you make a video for us where you speak finnish?
We wouldn't understand, would we.
It just takes some Time !
Am I the only one who feels like this ended way too soon? It's like I was watching a movie and someone pressed pause in the middle of it and now the remote is broken. Too many questions unanswered, too many loose ends.. How was the event at the hotel? Was the breakfast yummy? And how about the bed? Soft, hard, just right amount of bounce?
If you like Clarion Hotel Helsinki, then you should try out my home-away-from-home: Clarion Hotel Sign in Stockholm, if you ever need a hotel there!
Do you have nintendo switsh
I think saw you yesterday in Tampere
You should try to make video speaking only finnish🤔
Luckily you don't get to change that fact about Finland, I love snow xD And the amount of it is sadly dimishing every year...
Sipu97 Ei se haittaa ku Golfvirta pysähtyy ja saadaan 15km jäätä
Totta, mutta se taitaa tapahtua vasta sadan vuoden päästä. Eikä sekään ole ihannetilanne.
You should definitely go to Rocfest in Hyvinkää. It f*cking sucks that I am 17 and not 18 so I can't go there... But you can so please do it for me ;)
Next stop: Munkkiniemi. As far as festivals go, grab a ticket for Flow. I think you'd enjoy it.
Espresso house spotted! ✌🏼
Dave, have you seen the mahamainos? If not, god you're lucky
You're going to Tampere!!!??! That's were I am! right now.. living.. ........... awkward...
Secret pictures.. That's scary :O
Come to rovaniemi please
There is none!
You will note that every single Finn will get embarassed if you only look at them and cause awkward moments by saying nothing 😂 we are weird and pretty insecure and anti-social like that.
i wonder has he already tasted the pihlaja jaffa cookies theyre quite weird
Lukastic probably not because they don’t exist
I can see my apartment at 4:43
Can you make a video in finnish?
In a year - or so - just wait ! One Year !
You should try riisifrutti its a really good breakfast
Niko Tähjänjoki rice porridge and jam doesn’t make a good breakfast
9:50 nice lipstick
Hey Dave you need to visit Tampere and come visit to restaraunt viikinsaari :D its Tamperes one Best restaraunts :D
Love youu dave😂😍😍😍😍😎😎😎💕💕💕💕
Kaikesta tulee myötähäpeää
