Pearl here! Hahaha, this absolutely made my week. What a ride. Cool to see you breeze past my old summer job and the parking lot where my sister let me try driving our parents' car when i was 12. Yes i have been to the car tuning cafe, unfortunately. Good ol' nokia is indeed where the phone was created. Though these days they're mostly made in china (touchy subject in the pearl household indeed). You did stumble upon the nokia tyre AND rubber boot factory, the nokia factories are....diverse? You asked me to rate the pronounciation of "laajaojankatu". It was actually scary good. But don't worry, you absolutely butchered everything else. Not a doctors at the end by the way, but a daycare :-) If you ever end up on another unconventional journey across Europe, a bit more north, me and nokia will have a selection of means of transport for you. We have more than these industrial areas you were thrown into, like one shop and a church. Yeah babey. Regards, Nokia-raised now Dublin-dwelling Pearl.

The factorty on the second round was actualy a warehouse for car tyres. Nokia started in the 1800's making rubber boots, and they still make rubber boots and also car tyres.
This is such a surreal experience to watch as someone who grew up in Nokia, like I've biked these paths, you went right past my childhood home at one point. Tyttölän päiväkoti (Tyttölä's kindergarden) is right next to my secondary school. I got hit by a car next to K-rautia (hardware store). This is making me homesick even though I still visit Nokia like every weekend.

I had no idea Nokia was a Finnish company. I had always assumed most phones were made in Asia. Very cool episode.
It was made in Asia, but designed in Finland
@@xWood4000 oh ok. so like how iphones are designed in california but made in asia. makes sense
@@keenanlarsen1639 Exactly like that, except probably a bit different companies in Asia, because the boom was such a long time ago
Necroposting, but what the hell: actually Nokia phones were made mostly in Finland. In Nokia, Espoo and Oulu, three cities over here.
