This is why I went to Tampere Finland 

Nothing better than a cabin by a lake and nothing to do.

Glad to hear this! Enjoy Finland!

Lots of business and politics is/was done in the sauna, especially with the Russians. Now with women in those fields, it is not what it once was, I presume.

and a while lot warmer than freezing your toes off ! :)))

Whoops

What’s mökki if you don’t mind me asking? I would love come visit Finland this summer and also next winter! Well that’s the plan 😊❤ Sabrina🇫🇷🇬🇧

​@@sabrinastraveladventures4263 mökki is summer cottage

@@onerva0001 thank you 🙏🏼 Onerva! That’s interesting in some way similar way like Swedish & Norwegians cabins… I’ll do some research or if anyone has more details or infos/ tips 👍🏼👌🏼🙏🏼😘 I really enjoyed this vlog, there is so little about Finland outside of Lapland & Helsinki

The Tammerkoski--the rapids--is also comparatively warm due to the outflow from the power/heating plants along it.

It's a bike laine but it's winter No one is on there

They will come back, when those who cruised around 00's get their own kids to school :D Ps... the best part was late evening races down hill.

Can confirm, used those in the 80's too.

You missed the cat cafe, it's quite lovely too :)

My mom and dad had a stall selling tea and coffee at the Isle of Wight pop festival in the early 70's and I remember those kind of cups from then (thousands of them!).

Haha I was looking for mine the whole video. just missed it by a street lol.

I think you are thinking it must be very cold in Tampere, with all that snow and ice? Well, I have been to NYC in winter, and my perception is that, with that ocean breeze from the Atlantic, anything even slightly below freezing feels absolutely numbing; as if your body parts might start falling off frozen. It is not at all like that in Tampere. We are far away from the ocean, and even inland from the comparatively minute Baltic Sea. Still not in the middle of the continent either but just inland enough not to be bothered by sea winds but close enough to enjoy a slightly milder climate than somewhere deep in Siberia. For much of a typical winter, our temperatures are something like -3˚C, which, given the above, doesn’t feel bad at all (like it would in NYC). Granted, occasionally you get temperatures like -20˚C for short time periods, and rather rarely something like -30˚C, but those are really the exception and not the norm. (The coldest I have ever experienced in my life in Tampere has been -33˚C, and the coldest in Finland in general was -37˚C. That was in Oulu, in Northern Finland, and there you *do* get some sea breeze as well, so it felt *really* cold.) So don’t be afraid to visit. It really isn’t *that* cold here usually (unless you have very bad luck). 😅 P.S. It is the darkness that really gets you, not the cold. It is probably OK for a visitor to just wonder about how early the night falls in winter. But living here, you notice it really affects your mind and body. Popping vitamins C and D may help a bit, though. And then, all of a sudden, you notice it is spring, and days are getting longer, and longer, and longer… until at some point it is so light in the middle of the night that getting to sleep is hard. Those summer nights are absolutely enchanting but also a bit difficult to take in.

I came to see how many people had already commented "Torille"😂

ei kiitos

Laukontorille! Tosin sinne on täältä yli 300km matkaa, mutta silti :D

and Spring, Summer and Autumn

Unfortunately? Mkay..

@@Scatmanfi Yes, a Right-wing government possibly with one of the most racist, facist and bigoted party in the country is unfortunate. Unless you feel like youre part of that crowd of course🤷‍♀️

I wouldn't call it a landslide. It was a fairly close election.

Unforrunately? You are insane. Its the best thing to happen in 4 years.

@@taikajorma7276 Oh, because right-wing politics have been so successful throughout history🙄

I was in an airport

This wasn't even in winter, but in spring :D

Anything to boost views.
