[@kessu1863]

fun fact: finns created long drink in 1952 summer olympics cuz we had to get something to sell people when they came to watch olympics.

[@miikapaananen1363]

Yes, gin with grapefruit soda was easy and fast to deliver and extra water was needed in hot summer days. Gin was also more stylish and western than vodka, which brings memories of some expansionist b$stard czars like Stalin for example. Simultaneously hamburgers were introduced to Finns during Olympic summer 1952 and first Coca-Cola bottles came to this then poor and rebuilding nation. There is a joke when someone was ordering hamburgers or booze Summer 1952 and the waitress asked " With Cola? " which sounds in Finnish like " With a big snow shovel " And the Finnish customer replied " With any shovel you like "

[@radeee87]

4:02 it is the infamous funicular of Turku. Way overprized, breaks down at least once a week and the whole stupid box is literally a big joke. It was supposed to cost €2,5 million, but it did cost €5,4m, It looks hideous and on average it broke down on every 6 day during its first two years in service, hence the nickname: "jumikulaari" (Stuckular). Pro tip: Please don't ride it.

[@Mystcret]

13:29 Random fact about strawberries: We have strawberries imported from Southern Europe in grocery stores but we usually prefer Finnish strawberries because they are sweeter. The reason for the sweetness is light summer nights because strawberry plants can have photosynthesis and produce sugar even during night time.

[@Thorondor123]

Finnish and Swedish strawberries are the absolute best in the world, there is no competition

[@SonsOfLorgar]

And domestic strawberries, wild strawberries (smultron) and the wild/domestic hybrids are really tasty compliments to eachother to whipped cream or vanilla icecream!

You know we produce alot of strawberries when even foreigners come to work in strawberry farms during summer.

Should check out those stands in market place where they sell hot food or maybe a market hall in Helsinki. There would have been one in Turku too. But for local foods that would maybe be of interest - that said - you have obviously plans already. Speaking of the castle - they had a coffee shop with food too in there, you could have gotten something to drink from there easy.

As a soldier you must always remember to keep yourself hydrated. Back in the medieval times, when the castle was operational, a part of a soldier's pay was a certain amount of beer every day. It wasn't a small amount, though I don't remember the exact number anymore. One of the castle tourist guides would have known.

[@rikulappi9664]

If I remember right it was about 6 liters for officers and 4-5 liters for privates.

[@ridicoloperovero]

However the beer was of quite different texture during those times. It's not the same stuff as the stuff we call beer nowadays.

[@katin.rontti4479]

You are just too much ❤️ - and saying this in the nicest way possible. You are in this video in my home town, Turku and your reactions were just awesome. For example the Hesburger is a thing started with one Christian couple living in Kaarina, having a grill on the open market of Turku (kauppatori) and they got very popular with their hamburgers and "red" and "white" mayonnaise. Now they have this huge hamburger chain "Hesburger" (His burger) around the world and they are founding lots of humane work with their business (health clinics and schooling in places like India and so on). 😊 Also that smokestack with those numbers is a mathematic sequence of numbers, called "Fibonacci sequence", where there are numbers between 1-55 and the logic is, that always two previous numbers combined are the result of the next one. I'm so happy you enjoyed the Moomins, architecture and all in Turku - and also noticed, that you definitely have that "little marine in you", because you like to walk (=march) everywhere, don't complain of the couple of hours of train ride to get here and there - even after a poor night sleep - and so on. You are practically a Finnish yourself. ☺️ The public toilets cost typically 50sents or one euro and that is both cleaning fee and a way to try to supervise/reduce the amount of drug users getting injections on themselves inside of them... So normally, if you are a customer, it's free to use facilities - otherwise you have to pay a little to use them. Hope you will have a lot more good (=politely said, interesting) experiences from us and our country, culture and so on. 🙏🏼❤️ Post scriptum: Saturday morning - everyone is having a hangover or just sleeping in, that's why the streets were so quiet. And in the evening, whole summer - because the season is so short here in Finland and all the students and every other ppl possible are on their summer vacation - ppl are going out every evening while the weather is still nice and sunny. To summit up: On mornings the streets are quiet, in the evenings busy. ☀️
