@@SimonWilson12 sweet mate missed it 😂😂
This is how you enjoy your life people 👍🏽👍🏽
This caught me off guard, didn't expect another trip so soon.
I didn’t either! I don’t know what’s wrong with me 😅
Bro never takes breaks😭
@@Aura.cosplaybreaks from traveling? I've been working in construction 7 days a week for 30 years non stop lol
I was thinking the same haha. But made my evening!
@@SimonWilson12the dollars👀👀🤣
“I’m going to get something healthy.”
“Can I get a pizza please” 😂😂😂 Love you Simon
I was searching for this comment ahahahha
Yeah but also he called “Crisps” “Chips” which is the american way of saying it so I guess he has been to america too much haha
And the "no salad"
Love you too ❤️😎
pizza is actually healthy because is baked.
_"people are so friendly on this train"_
It's because *you* are friendly 😃
Oh so true, and "strangely" enough noone is friendy to people behaving badly anywhere in the world.
@@toinenosoite3173i mean🙃 have u worked at a gas station b 4😅
Swede here. Nice to see that you're visiting our brothers and sisters in Finland!
But Finns aren't Scandinavian
@@goodputin4324So? They're Nordics and used to be part of Sweden. There's a long history between us.
@@baverfjant still not Scandinavians!
@@goodputin4324No one said they are Scandinavians. Although they are part of the Scandinavian Peninsula, which is why sometimes people include Finland and even Iceland, practically substituting Nordics for Scandinavia.
@@baverfjant nein.
Another great day when Simon posts, and another video so soon after a series finishes?!?! This is an absolute gem
Ydi wir, cytuno.
"I'm gonna go with something healthy, pizza, no salad, extra chips and coke zero." Absolute legend you are lol
Lmao. Loved how he said that and said no to salad lmao
Surprised he didn’t ask for a frying pan of cheese 😂
Love how Simon kept talking to the staff outside when there was only 8 minutes for the train to leave and random questions as well 😂 I will be to paranoid in case I miss the train
I hate it when my friends do stuff like that
He is outsideof the train so its normal to talk
Lol same, and as a swede I could never film myself like this talking loudly in english in public spaces like this haha
He's gotta get his footage!
Getting a Finnish person to talk is impressive, kudos to Simon! Amazing people when you actually make contact with them, but sometimes they are so hard to talk to.
Especially us Swedes, Fins and Danes are not really happy to talk, simply cause we don't absolutely care about you, we can help you but thats about it. Norwegians are more friendly but don't expect friendship in any Scandinavian country thats how it works here, we are definitely not here to small talk or listen about your weather and these things. Many visitors sees that as rude but its not, heard that many times from visitors here in Sweden why you so rude..
@@IrishSwedishI really like the Finns. They're crazy people when they want to be. Nutty language too.
Not really.. thats just a stereotype. We finns are still humans and want to be polite. If someone talks to us then ofc we will answer
@@minnaorvNo really? As I said ofc we gonna answer questions but 99% people won’t talk about weather or any small talk or how they call it in england and these countries.
My grandparents were from Sweden and moved to the US, a lot of Swedish was spoken while I was growing up. All my life we’ve ‘been Swedish’, language, food, culture etc. so after a DNA test imagine our surprise when we found out we’re Finnish haha… I know that in past history the kingdoms have gone back and forth but yeah, it was a shock. 🤷🏻♀️ Funny thing is, my mom was shy and sometimes my dad would tease that she ‘was Finnish’ and I wish she was still here to laugh about this with us.
WHAT. A. GUY.
Cheers mate thank you mate
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Happy Days
A Finn here, I've always loved these overnight trains! Such sweet memories also from when I was a child and going on a holiday with family.
Your train was quite empty from Helsinki, but many passengers board with a car as it's easier to move in the destination that way. And the first car boarding place is in Pasila, Helsinki (next stop after Helsinki central railway station) so many people board from there and later stops.
“i feel like im trektrendy on this train” was too funny, two of my favourite youtubers ;D
I did it last year in March 2022 and took the later sleeper from Helsinki at 2313 and arrived Rovaniemi at 1115 or so. I had a sleeper with en-suite and slept superbly and had dinner and breakfast in the dining car which was brilliant. So recommended and I did a bucket list job of driving a snowmobile. The restaurant at the station in Rovaniemi does a superb pizza which is really big and just what you need before the train back to Helsinki! I took the train just before 2100 that arrives back in Helsinki at about 0930.
Simon is always friendly as I am another Simon and we are both from Wales!!
tnx for the info
such a honest and nice gentleman every interaction you had you was so polite respectful and even helpful with the family at the end , we need more people like you in the world
I just watched this on the back of another RUclips suggestion from a different travel blogger. Same journey, but I must say the difference in attitude was stark! I love your upbeat and friendly nature, taking pleasure in the small things like clever usage of space and chatting to guests and staff alike. Keep it up!
One month later and the same experience! I very much enjoyed both styles but admit I identified with this one! 😅
Finland weather is no joke. I was there yesterday after flying from Bangkok to London with Helsinki being my layover flight. The cold hit me so hard. -11 degrees when Thailand was 30+. Definitely shocked me. Fair play to Simon for dealing with the cold better than I ever could!
Sometimes we get -20 Even -30 here in inner land 😎
@@Finnishkebab yeah my record is -43 at Pori. was in -98 or so. But yeah -11 is sweet walk in the park kinda weather. :D
Tervetuluoa suomeen! Welcome to Finland! The one and only home of santa 🎅
Nice to have you here in Finland Simon, hope you enjoyed yourself!
I lived in Tampere on a work placement in 2007. It was -31 degrees, but the city kept functioning. I got the train up to Rovaniemi and loved it. Snowmobiling and husky sledging as well as meeting Santa was epic. Highly recommend.
Brother we can't get enough of ur content, double the duration of videos, it's a great combination of good quality, genuine travelling which is rarely done with such authenticity and variety+ the friendly character u got, am an old fan in other platforms.
Oh my god! Did not expect a video today but I’m so glad there is one! I’ve always wanted to take this train 💜
I didn’t expect to make one for a while but either 😅 I recommend taking it! It was good 🚂
Always a good day when Simon posts
You're the most lovely guy, always so polite and courteous wherever you go - credit to you man
Just watching your videos make me want to travel a lot after i complete my studies. Explore places, meet people and have fun!
Those clips on the bed are to lock/close the top bunk when they aren't being used.
Always a good day when Simon posts a brand new video! Cant get enough! Thanks Mr Wilson!
Why is Simon the best RUclipsr? Because he’s a traveller and not a RUclipsr: genuine and friendly, it’s like tripping with a friend
0:32 Finland has two official languages. Finnish and Swedish. The first part is in Finnish and the second in Swedish. Bot means trainstation.
Simon is always so nice to strangers and so friendly with everyone. I like that
It bothers me how many questions he asks staff members.
One of the Best Travel guide Tours from Simon. Gone from, American Monopoly Board Game Challenge, and straight into his next incursion of his travels. Love it.
The Finn’s are wonderful people by nature!!!
Tervetuloa Suomeen! Welcome to Finland!
Wtf yea🎉
One of the reasons so many cabins are empty, is that many passengers hop on at Tikkurila or later. The other reason is that the prices of these rides have been increasing at insane speed. Less and less Finns can afford it, sadly. Ps. The last time I visited Rovaniemi, it was -42C.
It causes me anxiety how calm you are when you're late 😂😅
Love it!! That train puts the Amtrak we were on to shame! You looked freezing bud!!!! Keep it going Simon!!
Hopefully you will be joining Simon again soon!
Eres una leyenda absoluta Mate
I'm like a child on Xmas morning when I see Simon posting a new video 🎄😁
It can't be a good day without a Simon Wilson upload. Love the vids man 👏
One of the best long ride trains i've ever seen, Looks good and comfy!
Welcome to Finland mate!
Thanks for epic vids as always, Simon!
That 'handle' is part of the system that holds the bed once you flip it up
Thank you. I just scrolled to find the answer. Top blabbing
Legend. Too easy!
I was looking for that answer because I seen it on another video. Thank you.
Simon coming out with consistently fire content. As a viewer we love it!
Been watching for years and it makes me really happy to see you in my hometown! Welcome to Finland, hope you'll have great time!
Can't wait to see how you enjoyed Finland. Doesn't even look cold yet! 🤭
Crazy to think I was just watching you in the US and now I could have bumped into you in Helsinki. Hope you’re having a great time in Finland
Same! I wish I’d met him.
Yes I wasn’t expecting a new one so soon! What a result. Thanks Simon
Man says he will be healthy. I’ll have the pizza no salad 😂 love this guy
Dude Simon is such a genuine person, seeing a new upload makes the week better
It's great to see you in Finland, you need to go from sauna to ice swimming and back to sauna! Excited for this series
Simon is definitely my favourite youtuber, classics for days and so innovative
Stay warm, Simon! Can't wait to see this adventure 😊
There’s a lot of travel RUclipsrs, and they have good videos because of their destinations. Or some of the stories they tell. But Simon is the one of the few who does that while also being an entertaining personality
You don’t think he asked bleeding obvious questions like, Are we close to Helsinki? Do you have a menu? What time does the sun come up?
@@effkay3691 he does that’s what’s funny. Adds to his character lol.
Only Simon would would give us a 10 episode series of him travelling around America, then a few days later release another great video.
The commitment is crazy 🙌
Man searching train like detective
Makes my evening when Simon uploads! Did not expect a new video so soon!
i love finland so much , helsinki is amazing you should go back and explore the city more
Only Simon would arrive ont he platform with 9min to spare and start small chatting with the train staff. What a guy!
Made my day! Didn’t expect another trip so soon, keep it coming mate!!
Love your videos Simon, been watching you since your first video when you visited Ireland. I remember when you only had a few thousand subscribers it’s honestly amazing to see how far you have come and it is a pleasure to follow along the way 🤝
This guy has just completed a Monopoly tour across America while heavily jetlagged and still brings us more content? Damn, this is why we love you Simon! You beautiful madman haha.
He recorded that in October
And he has been on Sky Sports too recently
This is so awesome to see you in my home country! I hope you enjoy your stay Mr.Wilson
The LEGEND returns a week later !!! You gotta respect the passion !!
I literally (in Simon’s voice) will watch anything Simon does! The best!!!!!!!
It wound be empty if it was in BIHAR
Yes and the cabins will all be empty of the things😂😂😂
Yes let’s go! Been waiting to see what’s next from you Simon!
Simon love your videos man!!! The monopoly series have been my favorite by far!! Can’t wait for more videos.
I’m off to Rovaniemi a week on Sunday to see Santa with the kids. This got me very excited
Finnish people are marvellous I work with about 15 of them. Great folk.
Loving the content and video output. Straight from US to lap land you must be knackered 😂
Great to see you here in Finland! 🇫🇮
Love watching your vids! I watch these during work to help me get through the day 😊
Didn’t expect a video so soon
Simon the GOAT 🐐
Dude, I wasn’t expecting this so soon after the last series! You love to see this man!
Wow I was not expecting another vid so soon! Simon never disappoints
I was worried after the New York series ending we wouldn’t see Simon any time soon. Unexpected surprise 😀
Wow the people of Finland speak good English.
I was like Simon is chatting away in English to strangers, will they understand him. Oh wow I was intrigued.
This is what we needed! Sad last series ended then another video so soon! Tuesday suddenly got better!!
Lets goooooo!! More Simon all the time! 🚆
Simon. I really love this video. Fascinating train experience. "I'll go for something healthy, a pizza and packet of crisps please"!! - also best comedy content! You're a legend mate!
It will be really helpful if for every trip (airplane or train) or even hotel that you going to Mention the prices so we can have an image of those trips costing 😊
Keep going with the good work your amazing your videos are awesome
Great video, Simon! It's nice to see you do these kinds of adventures! Can't wait for the next episode
Kiitos for this lovely blog
I was in Saariselka Northern Finland this time last year. Took my daughter to Lapland for 4 nights to see Santa. Absolutely unbelievable experience.
So did you see Santa?
Yes i did
@@Darksideee84 show us the pics
I would love to visit Finland at some point. Definitely a different adventure to the more popular places everyone go to. Great video Simon!
Where are you from?
Simon seems like a genuine good bloke.
I did this trip two years ago around the same time. Definitely agree on choosing the sleeper cabins.
Next time you're in the US, you should take the California Zephyr from Chicago all the way to the San Francisco Bay Area. There's a lot of really nice scenery! If you're in Canada, The Canadian is also a really cool train that goes across Canada.
Good to see Simon name-check Trek Trendy. That would be an insane collab! Will could show Simon a luxury boat cruise with fine dining then Simon could take Will on a no money challenge!
Please keep the consistent uploads Simon they’re incredible 🙌🏻
Simon: I’ll have something healthy
Also Simon: I’ll have the pizza without the salad 🍕 also have you got fries??
😂 never change Simon
😂
Nat Geo comes this far...my goodness God is wonderfull.thank you Simon
It's been a long time since I found a channel I want to binge watch. Good stuff, this.
Mate we love the dedication that’s class keep it coming
Simon grinding! We appreciate it.
Though I was tripping when I got the notification that Simon Wilson uploaded! This man doesn’t stop 😂 keep up the work big man ❤
That looks like so much fun!!
I can’t believe it’s your first time in Finland
You're killing it Simon! Banger after banger! Love to see it❤
The sparks are from the powerline above the train, it does that when it's cold😄
Each of yr video is great entertainment. You'r one hell of a guy.
YESS ANOTHER VIDEO? You’re treating us! Love you Simon, ur an absolute icon
