@@Doomin-c2m In Nykarleby I found only bilingual street signs on street view, but in Larsmo, Korsnäs and Närpes I found only Swedish. Those three were the last Swedish-only municipalities on the mainland, but now they are also bilingual and the street view is quite a lot older than the change to being bilingual. I guess that means they'll have to put up bilingual street signs, or maybe they'll just have to make the Swedish name of every street the official name also in Finnish? I remember when Karis, Ekenäs and Pojo became Raseborg, then the signs in Pojo which had a Finnish majority had to be changed when new signs were made so that the Swedish name came first since it was now a street in a Swedish majority municipality.

Hi Tom! Great video as always :-) I'm not sure if you know this, but in the Nordic countries we have "Freedom to roam" (Jokamiehenoikeudet) which basically means that you are allowed to go to private own lands and eat berries, fish, row, sleep etc there freely. I guess you guys have same thing in Scotland. So if you ever plan to do one of your crazy missions in Finland, you wouldn't have to worry about angry landowners. I myself have been pondering to do straight line mission across Kainuu province, but we'll see. I'll be sure to document it in someway if I ever decide to do that.

You're experienced in this. I'd tip my hat, if I was wearing. Deserving me lifting my lazy butt and go get a hat, but - laziness won. Helsinki - 10% of the country; Suur-Helsinki (Greater Helsinki): Helsniki, Espoo, Vantaa (+Kauniainen) - 20% Suur-Helsinki+Tampere+Turku & what's in that 'Triangle of Finland', covers more than a half of Finns - especially if we make the triangle a bit more like the rotor inside a Wankel engine; buffing the sides of the triangle, and we get Lahti and Pori inside the triangle: then it's past 70% if not closing to 80. Only 1 of the big 6 (100k or more in case of Finland) is missing from that triangle: Oulu - capital of the North (competed with Espoo for the title of Nokia center). It gathers population from half of Finland geographically, but not ethnographically. Finland is a bit like UK: south is where the population centers, the further north you go, the more scarcely it's populated, and the mountains are mainly in the north. Well, you have the west a bit wild too, for us it's then the east, only it's just hill country in Northern Karjala, not mountainous like in Wales. Then regional centers are Jyväskylä, Kuopio, Vaasa, Joensuu... Kotka (or Kouvola?) & Rovaniemi (smaller but locally important in Lapland, the Finnish tourist province, Santa Clause country and Wild North).

[@Sandels77]

That first place captured my eye immediately. I worked nearby some years ago. There was a meat processing factory that is now closed. Nokia is a town near Tampere and Tesoma is a district of Tampere. There is a junction to a highway that takes you to Nokia town. You were kind of right about Louhelankatu named after poem. Louhela means a place named after Louhi, kind off Louhi's place. Louhi is a old hag matriarch and a powerful witch living in Finland, she is mentioned in Kalevala which is written in poem form. Kalevala is is Finlands national epic, kind of mythological stories like Norse mythology. Here you can see here flying to a battle against men from Kaleva who stole a magical thing from her. The other road is named after Kaleva :-) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louhi#/media/File%3AGallen-Kallela_The_defence_of_the_Sampo.png One hint in the third place was that the names were both in finnish and swedish. Ususally it means you are in capitol area. The road you were in was Kehä III. There are these ring roads that go around the capitol area.

2:50 I literally live on that place, where your cursor is .. :D

[@Scr00geX]

As someone currently trying to find a place near Otaniemi for my move to Finland, this was very fun to watch...

[@LegoMiniMovies]

New Zealand or Switzerland some time soon?

[@leolo1613]

I‘m waiting on a switzerland one

[@jamierutledge9277]

New Zealand, yes please!

[@Karppaguy]

Loved seeing places I've been to many times. Some of these Google streetviews are horribly outdated though, I don't see those old green bus stops anywhere anymore :)

[@beegyoshi7871]

When he starts and you realise he's right next to your friends house 💀💀

[@VS-is1gc]

A little tip, if the signs are both in Swedish and Finnish the town is very likely located on the Baltic coast

[@samuelsmedlund]

11:57 "Finns probably laughing at me" Me: *laughing in finnish*

[@petermayhem1985]

Map is old. On The first scene where The player goes to intersection saying: Tesoma, Epilä, Nokia and keskusta signs, nowadays there is a roundabout in that location

[@DA-LORD]

13:38 I was literally in this area today! I used to take this route daily!

[@Valto4life]

I had the video running on my second monitor as background noise and when I had a quick look to see what was happening, the view was aimed straight at my house where I'm in currently. I got cold shivers for sure even though it's not that unlikely in a small country like this.

[@Skaude]

You just planted like 5miles from me, and i recognized the place immediately.

You can do better, Kim.

[@are3287]

Cheers mate, this is an enjoyable watch especially since I used to play geoguessr but don't anymore.

[@abcdefg4570]

You got spawned right next to my house, in Espoo!

[@kukkosoosi]

Same for me in joensuu

[@EedeePvP]

Instantly recognized the 2nd one, I live very close:-) Great video

[@SwedishHouseFifa]

Fun fact there’s a Sweden speaking part of Finland, that’s why there was two names on the signs at the third guess.

[@weetikissa]

Finnish street signs are a pretty good indication of the local language situation. Usually, if more than 5% of the people of a given town speak Finnish, Swedish, or Sámi, the language will be found on all signs with the majority language coming first. In Raseborg and Närpes, for example, street signs show Swedish above Finnish.

[@cinderellaandstepsisters]

@@weetikissa Sami in Lapland only.

[@Litepaw]

Ah yes. At the very beginning of your real attempt I instantly recognized the place, as i live in that city. Awesome.

[@XplosivCookie]

Well that was impressive, you were probably quicker and more accurate than I would have been.. And that's with the home field advantage ^^ Pronunciation aside, great work! Our j's are a bit softer than you're saying, more like the first y in "yay" :D

[@onnihuuskonen1250]

I travel through that exact "tunnel" every day in Espoo.

[@kasperjoonatan6014]

11:32 everybody: Kiuastie. nobody: Basturösvägen 😶

[@epeli4585]

[@beachla575]

Been waiting for this video forever it feels like. Had some laughs when you obviosuly dont speak finnish but it made it even better. Pronouncing on point as well🤣. Keep it up!

[@trond9360]

Remember to like the video everyone!

[@joonaviholainen]

In Finland if sing is with dotted Border it means this road is route to road mentioned in sign and if it's solid border it means if you turn here you are turning exact route mentioned in sign. And other tip is that only Helsinki have tramcars and metro. Tampere will have tramcars soon.

[@thetortcast1294]

As a Brit living in Finland I gotta say this is too funny to watch, great job though man!

[@samu5167]

My address is in this video and I don't like it very much. :D

[@herrakaarme]

Have you considered moving if you don't like the place?

[@avoonis]

4:21 most of the street view has been photographed in 2009 in Tampere and they haven't taken new material to the street view. The map has been updated to the roundabout which was built there a couple years later.

[@lutsi1477]

They actually took some pictures of Tampere last year, but for some reason they don't want to update them, even tho most European countries has Street View imagery from 2019.

[@noelgustafsson3770]

Thx dude your my favourite KZbinr by far and this ment Soo much for me. :)

[@ollemineur9248]

If you see Swedish street names, you are in the Helsinki area or around Vaasa or on Åland. Swedish street names often ends with "vägen" or "gata".

[@Saareem]

Well, somewhere along the coast at least.
