Hah immediately thought "November" when you asked about worst month. Probably the answer almost every Finn will give. The Finnish name for November directly translates to something like "month of dying".
yep it is november, and as usual - city people barely know what that means. come out to the countryside-home in the forest - where there is zero urban lightshow 24/7 - then you can experience the darkness for real, leading up to midwinter. (solstice is aroud xmas obviously) November is dark, because the moon/star and other light reflecting snow is often still missing in that month - unlike december. I wonder what decision process makes an american-korean want to study in finland, is it cheaper here?
@zoolkhan yes well it's definitely cheaper here than American schools - but also there was a specific program (that combines art and technology) in a school in Finland I wanted to go to. Then, when I was researching about Finland more, I got really curious and excited to explore the country as well. I'm loving it so far (although November hasn't come yet ;)) ! Also, it is on my Finland bucket list to go to the country-side in the winter, hopefully I will make a video about it then :D
Heyy! Welcome to Finland. I'm a marketing student at the northern Finland (Oulu) and i've recently picked up Mandarin as pet project to learn. It's propably why my YT algorithm recommended your channel as well, since i've watched lot of Asian travel videos including Korean ones! Very fun! Some tips from native: Woolen warm socks! If you ever make trip to see Lapland, i can donate a pair to you since my grandma makes them to all of us grandchildren and she'd propably be so happy if some foreign student would wear a pair xD
Hey, thank you for the warm welcome! That's cool that you are learning Mandarin. Some Korean words have roots in Chinese characters. Thanks, I will make sure to get some wool socks. Where in Lapland do you live? I plan to go, but it will be in early February so perhaps too late 😆 But that's very kind of you (and your grandma) to offer!
@@heya_world Yeah thats what ive heard too! I live in Oulu! If you take a train to Lapland it will most likely go through this city, so i can throw you some socks while you are at the train station while its stand still xD that would be hilarious story to tell! Rovaniemi is the propably go-to place when going to Lapland and Oulu is around 200km from Rovaniemi
It's funny how when the Clas Ohlson employee asked if they had any slippers, he said "släbäreit(ä)" which is very heavy Helsinki dialect, also known as "Stadin slangi". Besides also loving Korean food, Finns are also crazy about Korean cosmetics. If you ever need them, the biggest sellers in Helsinki are Yeppo and Bearel. I hope you enjoy your time in Finland, and if you ever want tips what places to visit just hit me up with a message 😊
ooo I didn't know he was speaking in a dialect! I just learned that there are a lot of dialects during my Finnish language class. And thank you - those are great tips, I am looking for some cosmetic items so I will check those places out. And got it, sounds good 😇
@@heya_world I'm not exactly an expert on the subject (a Finnish guy approaching 50, but having lived on campus or close to it for decades), but I guess closest of these cosmetics shops from the campus is at Ainoa in Tapiola, which you clearly visited. One of the Yeppo & Soonsoo branches is located there.
@@heya_world Some slang is older some younger. Slang can be seen as something slightly different from dialects because they mostly are mergers of several languages. Professional slang might have terminology borrowed and adopted from other languages. Sailors, military, IT etc. all have their own professional slang. Slang is also often more tied to each time changing fairly fast as dialects are often seen as more stable and regional.
Seeing a vlog made of Finland and then realizing Salmisaari Climbing gym in the thumbnail -> Never clicked so fast to watch a video. Very cute and unique style to do vlog, I liked it a lot :) Someone mentioned Kiipeilyareena Ristikko already in the comments and that is very nice place. One of the most modern ones in Helsinki area along with Kiipeilyareena Kalasatama. There is also Boulderkeskus Pasila near the center of Helsinki which is the first commercial boulder climbing gym in Finland and absolutely a place to visit. Largest gym fully for bouldering in Finland is actually in Espoo called Boulderkeskus Espoo which normally has very nice slab-style boulder problems, one of my favourites. The wall in Salmisaari you admired to be very tall is the tallest in Finland. Hope you enjoy your stay and get to visit many climbing gyms! Can't wait to see more vlogs. ✌
Ahh so you recognize the Salmissari gym! I guess I got super lucky, because I went to a random climbing gym and it happened to be the tallest one in Finland :0 I am interested in checking out Boulderkeskus Espoo now - thank you for your recommendation! This week, I tried going to BK Herttoniemi - it was nice but a bit farther away for me (I'm currently in Espoo). Kiitos paljon for the support 😎🙏
I didn't know how legendary it was, but it makes sense! I've never tasted water so full of power and flavor. I wonder if it is sold in grocery stores - would love to get some more!
@@heya_world its sold in plastic bottles or cans in your average grocery stores but it really tastes different in glass bottle and most people agree with it haha. Glass bottles are often available at Tokmanni, they sell it in cases of 24. Price is quite reasonable compared to bars or cafes 😄 btw there is also this big 0.5l black can version which is like ”extra strong edition” i highly suggest you to give it a try!
2:05 I would recommend buying slippers somewhere online, it's easier to find a size that fits and probably much cheaper, the prices of clothing are absurd in Finland nowadays 😂 Also hope you have a nice stay!
That is great advice! I was wondering if slippers are less common here (compared to Asian countries). Anyways, I did also notice that clothes are pretty expensive - time to thrift 😆 Kiitos!
Using Finland is way to summon Finnish people to channel, we are quite interested to see how foreigners see and feel about Finland. And you had few really Finnish things seen in this video, like how quiet Finland is. We have 'personal space', with cars also, that was quite funny for me, because that is just normal for us, but you made me think about rush hours in other countries.
I was honestly pleasantly surprised to see so many viewers from Finland! Yes, the quietness and the amount of personal space there is in Finland were the most shocking (in a positive way) things I've witnessed in Finland compared to my experience in California and Seoul.
By the way, my bet would be that the pipes in the end of your video aren't gas pipes, but district heating pipes. Gas is rare in Finland in general, and especially outside industrial facilities... but district heating is common in cities. It's very likely that those pipes run hot water-glycol mix with some colour additives. The reason they're above the ground is that the bedrock is close to the surface and too much hassle to work around.
Ah yes! We soon realized that those are probably not gas pipes because there were children playing on them 😆 but couldn't figure out what they were! Very interesting to know that those might be district heating pipes that are overground. Kiitos!
@@heya_world This was a guess on my part, but I had to dig deeper... and yes, this is a district heating pipe coming from the nearby large coal-powered Salmisaari power plant. This plant is planned to close in 2025 and to be replaced by more environmentally friendly solutions...

definitely november or april also known as (takatalvi) 😂

@jm-holm Ha! That is wild to know November's direct translation. I need to tell my friend (the one who is visiting in November)!
@Emerald449 Ok, I didn't know that April was also tough. Is it similar to November?
@zoolkhan yes well it's definitely cheaper here than American schools - but also there was a specific program (that combines art and technology) in a school in Finland I wanted to go to. Then, when I was researching about Finland more, I got really curious and excited to explore the country as well. I'm loving it so far (although November hasn't come yet ;)) !

I also arrived in Helsinki this week for the first time. Trying the bouldering gyms as well!
Woohoo Finland buddy! How long are you staying here for?
@@heya_world At least 2 years, hby?
Great water choice. Hartwall’s Vichy is the most legendary and strongest water in Finland 💪🏼 glass bottle is the best always!!
I didn't know how legendary it was, but it makes sense! I've never tasted water so full of power and flavor. I wonder if it is sold in grocery stores - would love to get some more!

Thank you! I had to work and save some money :D
환영합니당 !! 아직 겨울옷이 없으시다면 빨리 장만하시는걸 추천 드려용 좋은 부츠도 하나 .... 가을되면 비가 많이 오고 겨울은 온통 눈밭일거에요 ㅎㅎ
안녕하세요! 오 핀란드에서 사시는 한국분이시군요 :) 꿀팁 감사합니다 ~ 겨울 코트는 있는데 부츠가 없어서 빨리 사야 할것 같네요 ㅎㅎ

I think the best place to find slippers is Muji in Kamppi! We don’t really do slippers here 😅
Thank you for the recommendation, that MUJI looks so nice! I think I'm getting used to not using slippers too 😆
@@heya_world Good good :D When it gets colder, woollen socks would be much better companions, tbh!
