That red mushroom is "kärpässieni" and it's toxic.

I've heard you can enjoy (meaning psychedelic effects) those mushrooms if you filter them thru a reindeer. Reindeers organs removes toxins and you can play a shaman after drinking the reindeers pee.

Another great compilation, all looks really interesting and tasty. Especially like the sustainable restaurant, such a cool idea. Never would have thought you grow potatoes like that. Love the mushrooms growing from the coffee grounds too.

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks, Shaun! Isn't it fascinating? Seeing what they do gives a lot of hope for the future. Seeing the potatoes growing in air is something I'll never forget and the fact that the leftover coffee makes those beautiful mushrooms has a touch of magic. Is there anything coffee can't do?! ;)

[@EileenAldis]

Hi! We always love recommendations - what should we try?

[@timomastosalo]

Linnankellari literally means Castle Cellar, just in Finnish the word castle has the secondary meaning of Prison, Jailhouse, Slammer etc. - a product of the medieval practicalities: the prisoners of importance were locked in the castles. There were less than million Finns until the beginning of the 19th century (maybe that number was reached before too - 18th cent. had many wars dropping down the population). And so, in this case, yeah: Jailhouse Cellar is the proper interpretation. Both for someone who doesn't know the history of the place, the name sounds more fancy - the word castle has always that majestic air also in Finnish - be it you're a prisoner or not.

Booked Helsinki for this July and love to research restos in advance so this video was super helpful! I Google'd Ultima but I can't find the website so maybe after the pandemic it shut down permanently? At the end of the video you had mentioned about Moomin Cafe. I grew up watching Moomin so hoping you can share the link that takes me to your video with the description of the cafe!

[@EileenAldis]

Hey Tamami! That's wonderful that you're planning a Helsinki trip for July. To me, the planning and anticipation are half the fun. Something to look forward to! Unfortunately I believe Ultima has been permanently closed and/or changed its name/stripes to something else. This is what comes up now when you google it restaurantfiasco.fi/en/menu/ and it says "by Ultima" - may require a little digging! Here's the link to our video where we visit the Moomin Cafe (and other cool places): kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZWyn6WCpdOtaLs. We made other videos in Finland if you'd like to check them out as you plan: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZofThIZ3rN6AhrM I've also saved other recommendations as highlights on my Instagram under the names Helsinki and Lapland Finland.

I have to ask about the drone shots. Did you ask permission from TrafiCom about flying over Cafe Regatta? It’s an official no fly zone, due to the prime minister living nearby.

Hi Eileen, Good video, but I'm having trouble hearing you. Have you considered muting the background noise and then adding in audio commentary, later. It gives me a headache to try to listen to you. It's like you are having to shout over the background noise, everywhere you go in these videos. So, it just gets worse and worse. In some of these cases, you try to increase the volume, so you can hear the person speaking, and you increase the background noise, as well, so you still have a hard time hearing them. Because, your video is so noisy, I feel like I'm watching a rap video. OK, I turned the volume all the way down and hit the CC button, so I could listen to it more peacefully.

Thanks to the author of the channel for this fascinating video! It is interesting to see how people live in other countries! It is very important to know foreign languages on such trips. I would like to recommend to all travelers a practical guide to learning foreign languages by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages". This book contains a lot of useful tips on how to learn a foreign language for tourists, students, entrepreneurs and anyone who needs a foreign language in life. There are a lot of good tips on how to solve problems with the language from beginner to advanced level of language learning. It turns out that the traveler only needs to know a few dialogues and you can easily travel around the world! You don't have to spend a lot of time to fully learn a foreign language, you just need to learn what you can use when you travel. I wish everyone exciting travels!

[@cadaver6665]

Cafe Regatta is cute, but SO overrated. I went with my Japanese friends and they were clearly disappointed. All of the promised vegan stuff (2 options) were defrozen in the microwave, tasted super dry and pre-made, pretty sure they hadn't baked them to begin with. We also had to wait in line for an hour, and the smoke from the grill spread all over the place, we were coughing at our table. The whole place was full, which meant only 1 bathroom for 200 people.

[@j.lahtinen7525]

You were clearly there at an unlucky time. I've NEVER seen 200 people there. Did all the 200 arrive on a fleet of tourist busses? It's clearly not a place meant for so many customers at the same time. Even a half that would be far too many, I think. I'm a vegetarian myself, and often go for vegan options so I get the frustration with poor vegan food. If you advertise vegan options, then you really should go to the trouble of making some good vegan food; there are plenty of recipes. Haven't really ordered anything at the Cafe Regatta apart from those cinnamon buns. The smoke is inevitable, given the grill, and it really depends on the weather and how windy it is, and which way the wind blows, whether it is an inconvenience or not. Usually, there are not so many customers that you couldn't switch places if the smoke was blowing towards you. As I said, I think you were quite unlucky. There is, by the way, a row of public bathrooms near the Cafe, close to the Sibelius Monument. I get the feeling that if you were part of a tour, the tour operator hadn't really thought things through, bringing so many people to such a small cafe, and not letting you know of the bathrooms close by. I live close to the cafe, and often walk by it. There's rarely more than maybe a dozen customers there, and if I saw many more than that, I wouldn't even consider going there.
