Tampere is not underrated amongst Finns, it is god knows how many years in a row voted as the best city in Finland or where people would move if they had to move somewhere. And quite many of them do, Tampere city area has actually grown from 200k to 250k in twenty years.

Yes, Tampere (Tammerfors in Swedish, our second official language) has been called the Manchester of Finland because it had lots of red-brick factories and those tall chimneys puffing out smoke back in the day. Now, many of the factories have been converted into shopping centers, hotels and so on. Like ALL Finnish words, Tampere has the stress on the FIRST syllable, not on the rest of the name.

The stress is on the first syllable in finnish. So TAMpere and HELsinki, (not HelSINki as he keeps saying on the video) Every letter is pronounced (the latin alphabet),always the same way, just reading it out. Very easy. 😋👍

There's actually 3 panes of glass. Two are just very close together and the third one is further apart as seen in this video.

Cheaper windows use Argon but higher quality windows use Krypton because it has better insulation properties. The inert gas is filled to same pressure as normal atmosphere so there's no pressure difference which prevents leaking gasses in or out.

Railways in Finland are really new compared to the UK. UK has a lot of historical bridges so that is why double decker trains can't really be a thing there.

Windows are actually usually triple glass. Two glasses as a single unit, then the blinds andcthen the single outer glass. Must kerp that heat inside.

There is lots of double deckers. That train probably goes to Rovaniemi. So its long distance train. Traveling times are 8-10 hour on that train.

As someone from Tampere you should definitely visit, in the summer more specifically. There is stuff happening in Finland and people are more willing to socialize. I might be biased but I definitely think Tampere is better than Helsinki

Tampere, places to visit: näsinneula, hotelli tornis bar on the roof, mumin museum, viikinsaari, doughnut tower, public saunas. There are also lot of theaters.

First double deck trains come to Finland about 20 years ago.

11:40 Double-decker trains can be found in central Europe as well. The standard loading gauge (=minimum clearance for bridges, tunnels) in the UK is lower than in central Europe, which in turn is lower than in Finland. The difference is not massive, however, because a single-deck coach is about 4 m from the ground and a double-deck coach is about 5 m from the ground. But running double-decker trains in the UK would require a massive re-engineering of the whole rail network.

Turku and Tampere and Helsinki.. its like a trio connected with trains. I think Finnland is still the best country but i think the EU is desroying it like all north countrys

Nobody says "free wifi" in Finland because that's just assumed to exist everywhere. And yet most Finns use the 4G or 5G connection of their phones because that results a slightly lower latency in most cases. However, in case of trains, you want to use the train company "VR" wifi network because it works in the tunnels, too. Lots of latency, though, so don't expect playing any competitive online games in the train.

We have double decker trains in Sweden aswell 😀

You said 'Tampere' better

Double decker trains are very common in the rest of Europe. Yes, they fit in the tunnels. In Sweden and Germany, they are extremely common and are used for major commuter corridors.

There is definitely 2 Finlands depending on the season. Summer is when we Finns come out from our caves.

Your second attempt at "Tampere" is perfectly fine. :)

You should definitely visit Tampere as it's the best city in Finland and it's the capital of chicken wings, saunas (the most public saunas in Finland) and ice hockey (we have two of the most successful teams and best arena) in Finland! Best time to visit is of course in the summer.

It's not just about tunnels. It's about the loading gauge, I think, which is just a fancy way of defining the maximum cross section of a train on a track. Which, yes, is about tunnels and bridges and stations and the over-track hardware, etc., but also a function of how old the track is. It probably wouldn't be entirely out of question to expand that stuff, if you planned it properly and wanted to make the costly investment. Newer railway infrastructure tends to be designed to be larger. Those old round trains in the London underground have pretty small loading gauges.

You can say Finland's Manchester, which Tampere is called for being the Finland's first industrial city. The city where the first lamp was lit in the Nordics, in 1882, in the Finlayson factory, a company founded by a Scottish engineer James Finlayson in 1820: "Tampere - History and Heritage". Some relating local history: "Tycoon Serlachius - Joel ”Very Finnish Problems” Willans". Tampere is also the place where Lenin and Stalin met for the first time: "Miksi Tampereella on Lenin-museo?". The oldest still running public sauna in Finland: "Rajaportti Sauna: My Fave Finnish City: Tampere". A trip from London to Tampere: "Amazing TAMPERE! | Winter Trip to FINLAND'S Industrial City".

Completely wrong time of year to come to visit but it is what it is. In this year we hardly had any autumn (about 2 weeks) and hardly any spring. It's 25C 2nd week now so it's kinda warm/hot already.

There is a reason I left the UK to Live in Tampere. Its an amazing city, also known as Manse which is fitting as i met my (soon to be) Finnish wife in Manchester when we studied there hahah.

10:30 Usually it's expensive. Norwegian and wild are expensive, but Finnish grown indoors near lake Saimaa is quite cheap. You can get a pack of 3-5 small fillets for about 7 euros. In comparison four pieces of Norwegian salmon would have been over 40 euros at my local Citymarket. Those cheaper ones are also 14 euros a pack there, but in the cheaper shop you can't buy salmon from the fish counter because it's never fresh enough. And they don't sell good fresh summer potatoes in the winter like the Citymarket.

Youre right. Heavy. Good Akustik

Sweden also does have double decker trains with glass roof ceiling so you can see the sky and nature while going somewhere. =)

For comparison: Sweden had a double decker train for a while in the 60s. Since 2005/05 Sweden has double deckers in regular traffic. (Only SJ has 42 sets, litera X40, delivered between 2004 - 2008. Also newer trains are in traffic, by other train companies. Also Denmark and Germany have double deckers, and probably more European countries.

easy tips on finnish pronounciation* 1) every letter is always pronounced (and there is basically only one way to pronounce each letter - it doesn't depend on other letters around it) 2) the stress is always, I repeat: ALWAYS, on the first syllable. Intonation always (slightly) falls both in singular words and phrases.

12:30 If you want to visit smaller towns I would recommend Tammisaari, Hanko, Fiskars and Porvoo at least. Fiskars has old buildings and lots of artists living in the area, Hanko and Tammisaari are old towns on the coast and Porvoo has a large old town, if I remember correctly. Haven't been there since a child. Get a local guide for the places. Maybe some of us. But all of those places suck during the winter. They are just dead and lifeless, but wake up for the summer.

Salmon is frickin' expensive here! most highest what I've seen has been almost 30€/KG !! Depends a lot where it comes from, we often have Norwegian salmons but own country salmons too, many places sells salmon foods but buying it from stores is crazy expensive, if you're like, there might be sale like 14.95€/KG or something, so even just small piece of salmon is expensive, I would love to eat smoked salmon often but it's rare treat for me cos of the price, sometimes thankfully there's shops like Prisma has that soon out of date products are -30% sale and it changes after 8pm to -60%! so sometimes it's so lucky if you get cooked salmon or smoked salmon for example of that price, how much Dwayne it costs in UK? My mum works at place called kauppahalli and they sell fish products own country ones, there's whole raw salmon which they've removed bones is 19,95€/KG and make them as filee is same price but salmon price changes all the time, but yeah, mum told me that if you buy raw filee of salmon without bones, the price is 29.50€/KG !!!!! She lives at Savo so they have they're own close towns salmons and other fish, even from all the way to Helsinki some ppl go there to buy salmon and other products cos many have cottages here :) in my opinion from Hesburger and Mc'donalds is that every other food and all is better in Mc'donalds except mayos! I hate MCD mayos cos portions are so small and they're very vinegary but Hesburgers mayos is in bags and garlic one actually has garlic pieces, it's so good that I always add it to my burgers ( can't eat any other mayos or ketchup etc ) lol, so hersburger I recommend garlic mayo! it's so much opinion who likes who but I like these differences :D

17:09 my wifi did not work almost at all and i am still finnish. i actually use those duoble deckers (actually called, intercity trains) a lot but also those highspeed trains (pendolino) that go over 200kph

Hi, Dwayne! Salmon used to be expensive back in the day. Then, when cultivated salmon in Finland and Norway became a common thing, salmon became more and more affordable, ending up as being much cheaper than meat. Earlier this year, the price of salmon, together with other food items, was raised (can't recall why). Salmon and rainbow trout are very good for you, so it's a shame, really. In Finland, salmon is prepared and eaten in many different ways, like coulibiac. Also as soup, warm or cold smoked, oven-baked, charcoal grilled, and - my favourite - cured, what we Finland-Swedes call 'gravlax'. I believe it's called 'lox' in English. Thin, thin slices of salmon cured with nothing but salt, dill, black pepper, maybe a little sugar and garlic powder, eaten on toast, with fresh dill, perhaps a little squeeze of lemon - is to die for!

Bullshit you are talking.Salmonnis cheaper because its rased in horrible farms where salmons are fed unnatural trashfood with color(so their sic anemic white meat wouldnt show to customers!)and lot of chemicals and antibiotic. Farm salmions are allways really sic and they spread desieses to wild fishes and to other sea animals. Its not healthy its commercial healthy lies as fur was sold as "ecologic" but now you cant because its against in law to sell it ecofruendly when its not(fur is actually called dangerous waste and shoud not put in average trash). But yeah salmin is still sold as "healthy befetis" when its leaning on wild salmons health benefits thats are not any available because wild and farmed fishes containes full off chemicals(thanks for humans pollutions),Micro plastics etc(thanks again for humans/fisherindustry!).Watch Seaspiracy,Do research (that are not done,payd from farm/chemical industry!).

The first lesson in Finnish language: the stress is always on the first syllable. 🤔👌

UK is like the only place on earth that don´t have double decker trains.. Well.. that might be a bit harsh. But basically every nation i can think of have double decker trains. Worth saying that the Finish train have a larger loading gauge than most other European trains so the double decker trains are roomier and also generaly larger (that is, the double decker part is a larger percentage of the train). The reason why double decker train don´t exist in UK is that UK use steam for e very long time, then swich to 3rd rail electric. So the tunnels could remain low. In Nordic countries (that was the first to do long distance electric in Europe) due to the very long distance we had to use AC electric, and that could only be used in overhead wires. Because they had to be on a safe level to the steam locos, they had to be installed quite high, hence all the tunnels needed to be be raised, scraped or rebuilt, and also bridges over the railway. But becasue this was done in the very early 1910, this was not that common, so it was a fairly small work. This spreed in Europe and basically all of Europe was electrified before it even as started in the UK. By the time the work started in UK it was to late to remove all tunnels and bridges. It was to many of them

At least if you use 2,5g, 3g, 4g and 5g you sometimes get a fast connection for few seconds until it goes back to edge. But I don't have any recent experiences. I think it's at least five years since I used a train. And the seats are worst ever. I'm in tears from back pain after an hour. Upstairs on the restaurant car is a little better, but 1,5h is the most I can take even there. Sitting on the floor would be more comfortable.
