Good job. Sometimes it can be tricky when the municipality has a different name than the main town, like on the 4th round. You asked about buying homes in Finland. Mostly people use agent companies because it makes things so much easier, but it is legal to do it without one. The prices vary really lot. Somebody has said that three things that mean the most are location, location and location :)
@@alloverthemap23 if you accept an old house in the middle of nowhere and which needs some renovation, you can get one by just several dozen thousands. If you want a quite new house in good condition in the capital area, prepare to pay half million.
Fun Fact: Scandic Jyväskylä Station is further away from the station than Scandic Jyväskylä City! I pass both daily. Tuusula is hard to find on Google Maps because the centre is called "Hyrylä".
The prices for a house like you specified in Vantaa will start at 250k€ and the realtors will take a slice of about 3-4,5% of the sale price. The further away from big cities you move the cheaper the prices get.
Tuusula (where Gustavelund is) is a difficult one. Google maps doesn't show Tuusula on the map, just the town center Hyrylä. Tuusula is like a dark spot on the map in the middle of more populated cities.
Yep, it's a bit of a similar problem to, for example, Hattula, Sastamala or Raseborg, which can't be found on the map either; only Hattula's center Parola, Sastamala's center Vammala and Raseborg's center Ekenäs.
In the second round, I was lucky to spot the bus station (town name), and then an ambulance to help locate the area. Ambulances and fire trucks usually have a two letter code which indicates the province (maakunta). If you remember or can guess those code, it can help for the region. Note that at least the Uusimaa (where Helsinki is) has subdivisions (HE for Helsinki, KU for central Uusimaa...)
Your pronunciation on some of the Finnish words awakes confidence. The net there in Porvoo however is for hammer throw. There were two Finns in the women's hammer throw final in the Paris Olympics. The Finnish Utah NBA player and the athlete of the previous year in Finland is Lauri Markkanen. This year's athlete of the year was just awarded and the title went to Alexander Barkov, the first Finnish captain in a NHL team to win the Stanley Cup. Here's something on traditional Finnish baking. Sour rye bread is one of those things Finns miss abroad: "Quest for Sourdough Finland - the tradition of rye breads".If you like tango, you should move to Seinäjoki. If the Mrs. doesn't want to move, that's okay, because you don't need two to tango: "Finnish Air Tango ilmatango", "English Trailer "Midsummer Night's Tango" (Documentary)", "Olavi Virta - Hopeinen Kuu", "Tango Finlandia | 60 Minutes Archive", "Tangomarkkinat 05.07.2017 Seinäjoki in Finland Tango Streetdance" and "Erika Vikman: Näiden tähtien alla- Tangomarkkinat 2016 Finaali".
The athlete of the year was stolen from Lukas Hradecky in my opinion. Leading Bayer Leverkusen to double champions as the first Finnish captain in Top5 leagues and with zero losses. In the worlds most popular sport.
@ Hradecky had a great season and he did get second most votes. On the other hand, he was the Athlete of the Year already in 2020, Finland's national team has been playing poorly, and when Sami Hyypiä was the Athlete of the Year in 2001, Liverpool won the League Cup, FA Cup and UEFA Cup. And Hyypiä was also Liverpool's captain during his time in Liverpool, if not that particular season. Nor is Hradecky listed among the best goalies in the world, not to mention among the best players in the sport, as Barkov is and Jari Litmanen was, when he was the Athlete of the Year in 1995.
@@alloverthemap23 There's quite a lot of interest towards the tournament in Finland. First chance to see likes of Barkov, Rantanen, Lehkonen, Aho, Laine, Hintz and Heiskanen play together in the national team. And together with some of the older national team icons like Granlund and Lundell. I'm sure Selänne too is prepared and ready to go: "Teemu Selanne - watching and reacts to Team Finland vs Team Canada gold medal game".
Stayed in 2 out of those 5 hotels, and have stood at the place where one of the photos (the first one) was taken, even though never stayed at the hotel there. But a pretty easy game because of those.
@1:44 I wish I had seen that sign on my game. I took way too long to confirm it was Porvoo, although I did suspect it from the start (Porvoo is famous for their old wooden buildings, and there's only couple other towns with similar downtowns). @2:33 Nets like that are installed on discus / hammer throw arenas. Pretty rare to have one alone outside of a proper track and field stadium, but seems like that's what it is about. Pesäpallo stadiums don't have nets behind the pitcher. @4:33 Ruotsi = Sweden, Tanska = Denmark, Norja = Norway, Suomi = Finland. @5:39 I think it says "Korisliiga" at the bottom, so basketball. I believe basketball is the only sports where Kauhajoki has a team competing in the higher divisions, at least recently. @9:12 Feel like this needs saying again. In Finland Europe roads (the ones marked with green E# signs) also have national road numbering. In addition, roads with different national road numbers somewhat often partly run along the same highway (especially around bigger population centers where a lot of highways intersect). In order to see all road numbers that run along a specific highway you need to zoom in real close on Google Maps. On higher zoom levels Google maps only shows the highest level (usually the Europe road) number. Especially if you see any Europe road signs, I would suggest zooming all the way in to avoid confusion, when you don't immediately see the number you're looking for. It's mainly a thing with the E roads and red marked highways, rarely with the yellow marked highways. Roads with 3 or more digits usually just end when they run into a three way intersection, and in the very rare cases they don't the intersection where they continue is usually very close. @13:50 You would need to apply for a residence permit to be able to stay in Finland for more than 90 days, and you need some kind of reason other than just wanting to live here. This could be work, studies, family member that lives here, among other things. Coming from outside of the EU makes it a bit more complicated and there's all kinds of juridical kinks involved that I'm not too familiar with. @14:04 I'm not really the right guy to ask, as I'm not in the market for my own house, but from a quick look about 100k-150k€ for older buildings, at least 200k+ for newer buildings and more favorable locations. But a lot also depends on the city, I'd imagine trying to get a similar apartment from downtown Helsinki would cost a lot more. On the 4th round I understand your confusion. Tuusula is one of those weird municipalities. There is not a central town called Tuusula, but rather the central urban area is called Hyrylä, and Tuusula refers to the entire municipality. In these cases the towns are not marked very well on the map.
Kiitos katsomisesta!
Check me out on X : twitter.com/AllOverTheMapYT
Here's a tip; every time there's a sign saying "Tuusulan Keskus", it is "Hyrylä"
That Scandic in Jyväskylä I’ve been to around 10 times (business trips). I choose it for the swimming pool 😄
A pool is always nice and I assume it's indoors.😃

That was confusing

2:40 that is a hammer throw ring
Well the first one was quite easy as it's about 10 miles from where I live! 🤣
3rd one was easy for me, I go past that hotel almost everyday.
That's pretty cool
Why do you change the pronunciation of the letter O in Porvoo? It doesn't change. Now it just sounds like "Por vous", which is French.
Tuusula (where Gustavelund is) is a difficult one. Google maps doesn't show Tuusula on the map, just the town center Hyrylä. Tuusula is like a dark spot on the map in the middle of more populated cities.

Raseborg's other center is Karis/Karjaa

Funnily enough the last hotel I stayed in was Hotel Haikko Manor in Porvoo as I attended a wedding held in the Porvoo Cathedral from the first round

Was thinking Pesäpallo might have hitting practice and netting would keep the ball in the area...
”Jaivaskaila” starts to sound like Jyväskylä 👍👍👍
Make new Finnish episodes. watched all of them!!! 😃
Gustavelund is old and fine place. Been there in a conference.
Seems like a business type of hotel/resort for large conferences
16:55 I used to live there
