That "salted liquorice" always bothers me. Salmiakki in itself has nothing to do with liquorice, but is often mixed with liquorice to get rid of the chalkiness as it's just powder when in pure form. And don't think table salt on the salted part. That's natriumchloride and salmiakki is ammoniumchloride. Still salt, but a different kind.
Liquorice is... well liquorice. Salmiakki is ammoniumchloride powder (salt of ammonia like table salt is salt of natrium). They are two very different things that are just often mixed together.
Originally licorice was made from a plant, I think it is from a root or something. Salmiakki is ammonium chloride and is man-made.
NaCl is sodium chloride in English. Natrium is the Latin, or Finnish word for Na.
Ah. I should probably look up the English versions when I use them. I just assume they are same as the Latin ones because there's so many Latin loanwords in "scientific" English. Effing equine... I still don't know if I spelled that right :D
There are a lot of loan words from Latin yes. I study biochemistry and most of our books and materials are in English. It was really confusing in the beginning when Na was written as sodium and K (kalium) as potassium, but I guess I've slowly gotten used to it out of necessity. It would be much easier if the words sounded more alike.
Fun fact about the museum. There is a bullet hole in the front door from the year 1918. Civil war of Finland.
I hope you tried Finnish rye bread. I've never actually been to Finland but my aunt brings it back to the US from finland all the time and it is literally the best bread I've ever had. Toasted with butter or cheese is the best 👌
3:19
Potato pie. It is much more delicious, when the potato is replaced with rice. Then it is called "Carelian pie" or just "rice pie".
Billy Bob Bunton Every carelian pie is rice pie, but every rice pie isn't carelian pie.
Karelian* or in Finnish Karjalan
And almost everybody puts eggbutter on the pie.
WTF
Welcome

3:34: Finland is not part of Scandinavia.
Scandinavia is a geographic area in which Finland does not belong. Finland is a part of Fennoscandia, though. Finland is undeniably a Nordic country. And yes, we Finns embrace our inner Swedish and Norwegian DNA heritage almost as much as they embrace their share of Finnish DNA admixture. Culturally we have no urge to be (more) Scandinavian, although there is much in common. In conclusion, it is just fine that we Finns are distinctively Finnish.
01111011111101etc Wrong, de facto, Finland IS Scandinavian and Nordic. Stop living in denial!
Garraway Prox You need to be taught " proper lessons" and I'm just the American boy to teach you! I'm going to the Scandinavia nation of Finland for a whole month in September. Yippee! Yes! I'm really ,looking forward to my trip to your country!
What is there for me if I "stop living in denial"? :)
Perhaps true love! Who knows?
I love the info and history in your videos! It's not just: "Look at this, it's cool!" but you give us info and background to really get to know the things you see and the places you travel to. I like that a lot.
+Meera Reed thank you!! I'm really trying to bring more and more in without being too much
Oh no, the karjalanpiirakka with rice in it is way better than the one with potato, hope you tried that too :) I´m from Helsinki (although living in Australia at the moment) and I actually learned some new facts about the history. Hahah guess I never paid much attention in history class :) Hope you´ll have a chance to explore more of the country some day!
Miffas No the potato one is the way to go :) I'm in Canberra I'll go and find you >:(
My grandmom used to make both and when I was a kid I liked more the rice filling but later on the potato one started to taste much better. But when I buy some from grocery stores the potato ones aren't that great so I'll choose the rice. Home made the potato filling can be really awesome.
karelian pie ftw
aaand salmiakki is the best candy in Finland
Thora F
The original karjalanpiirakka has mashed potato in it. Riisipiirakka is another thing and cannot be sold as karelian pies but as rice pies(riisipiirakka)
Welcome to Finland! Southern Finland and the capital is great, but you should definately go to Eastern Finland to see the lakes and nature, and of course to Lapland. That part of the country is truly worth seeing, especially in winter!
Lapland in Finland is the real "Land of the Midnight Sun!" When I was there in Rovaniemi--my uncle Tope took Dad and me fishing above the Arctic Circle outside Rovaniemi at 2 a.m.! And you could still see a sliver of the sun on the horizon in June. A sight I never forgot to this day.
theaiinou in august which part worth of seeing ?
Finland is definitely on my bucket list. It looks so interesting & beautiful
Greetings from Port Elizabeth, South Africa
Greetings from Oulu, Finland! I actually stayed in PE for a full year in 2009. It was windy but it can get windy here too. :P
In the restaurant...
Waiter: "Are you finished?"
Me: "No, I'm german"
Finish Line vs Finnish Line
Finland looks beautiful, I would love to go there one day.
Hayley wtf
Just be sure to go outside the capital. It's the least interesting part of Finland.
Welcome any day! :)
Well then get over here
I really want to go to Finland. Helsinki, Lapland, Turku, wherever else. Just sitting in a forest in the quiet. I did my homework and I understand the silence. I actually prefer that. The Finns are the least corrupt.
I'm so f****ng proud to be a Finn.
Jere Laitinen vittu mitä paskaa blyat
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ ahah why russian blyat??:D
I went to Kauppahalli to taste that candy and I have to say it's much more liquorice than salmiakki. There is salmiakki without liquorice too.
Have you been to Iceland ? Because if not you should go it's gorgeous ❤️it's one of my favorites
+Hugapug it's on my list!
Hey Nadine and there's a whole vegan fridge full of cheese 😮😍 you wouldn't think there would be but yes. Yes there was
usually its easily 25+ celcius degrees in july and august but this is litterally the worst summer ever
Over 25C is usually only few days in a summer, July and August day peak temperature is commonly between 20C and 25C. Year 2017 summer has been real bad, though. The first half was constant wind from North, and like no summer at all. Buf Finland didn't suffer alone, Scandinavia had the same thing.
Aurinkohirvi i would say good summer can have 20 days around 25 celsius and desent maybe 10 +
That good summers are rare. And this summer, we haven't had one day over 25C. And the summer is 3/4 gone.
not even close to the worst, it's still ok weather in Jyväskylä in mid august, that's pretty good imo
In southern finland the average is 16-18 days over 25C. In 2010 and 2014 there were many cities that had more than 40 days over 25C.
Nice video, but I hate when vloggers put music in the background when they are speaking. Its fine when you show shots without any speech.
how many times do we finnish people have to tell you that finland is NOT a part of scandinavia.
It is culturally, historically and genetically linked to Scandinavia. Or did you just forget the 700 years we were Swedes? If, say, England were to split in half, would you not keep calling both halves "English"? Their nationalists would say otherwise, but everyone outside would still call them English.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fennoscandia
+CasualPlayer en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandinavian_Peninsula
Stop being so DEFENSIVE. Yes, yes you ar Scandinavian because 99% of AMERICANS in the USA say so! That's enough to make it official, Embrace your inner SCANDANAVIANESS and NORDICNESS you crazy FINNS! America so often "definers" the world ...its why they win the bulk of Nobel Prizes almost every year!
Ernest Kovach Great logic, so if a lot of people think so it's true? America eduction is shit. FINLAND IS NOT A PART OF SCANDINAVIA. Get your facts straight.
Welcome to FINLAND!❤️
karelian pie with spread made of butter and hard boiled eggs is so freaking gooood!
Ohh welcome to Finland! Hope you'll have a great time here :)
Btw Finland does not belong to Scandinavia, only Denmark, Norway and Sweden do.
It mostly has to do with language, the 3 counties speak Germanic languages, the Finns speak a finno-ugrik language like in Hungary.
Technically Denmark should not belong either because they own Faroe Island and it's too south.
But when I was in school (born '80) I think it was thought to us that Scandinavia and the Nordic Countries (these 4 and Iceland) were synonyms.
Denmark rules over Greenland too. The Faeroe Islands are autonomous islands now and have semi-independent relationship with mother country Denmark now.
My Finnish friend used to tell me you could get tinned bear in Finland. I always thought she was having me on...
Bear, moose, reindeer, etc.
99elizabeth I live in finland and I didn't even know that it is a thing... yak
well of course you can hunt and skin a bear yourself as well. after that it is pretty much your choice how you prepare it.
just remember, fresh bear meat must always be fried / cooked to "very well done" state. bears often have those little worms in the flesh.

Finland isnt part of Scandinavia :P
You're right in what part of Scandinavia are they part of the Soviet Union
In English Scandinavia is synonymous with the Nordic countries. Besides, the meaning of Scandinavia has changed over the years and is not really clear on what it is based on. In the 1800's the basis was clearly political. It can change again. Nowadays the Nordic community is much more significant than the old Scandinavian connection, so the lines are clearly blurring.
@@shalommalca2125 Go to school troll!
halpa makara
mutakoano
We love to eat a haring in Holland, but just one or two at the time, but twelve? But it looks like he 'finished' his dish 😂.
Loving your DNA related videos and vlogs, must be so cool to visit these places after learning all about your heritage!!
3:54 oh well that is NOT a salmiakki :D
lol that must have been the most hilarious pronunciation of karjalanpiirakka I've ever heard at 3:19. If it wasn't for the context I would've had no idea what she was saying xD
We got our independence in 1917, not 1918.
nope , 1918 TECHNICALLY. saying YOU ARE independent DOES NOT YET MAKE YOU INDEPENDENT. 1918 WAS WHEN YOU WON IT AND became "INDEPENDENT" OFFICIALLY! Case closed!
Ernest Kovach mate back to school perhaps? Finland asked for independence from Russia and got it before new years eve.
Oh! Really? If true, Thank You for your FYI.
@@ernestkovach3305 so when was americas independence troll? 1775 is what we say and celebrate our DECLARATION of independence. We won it later you loser
@@ernestkovach3305 Finland celebrated it's 100 years independence 6. 12. 2017. and the rest of the world did it with Finland as well.
So no. Finland gained it independency 1917 when we also got the fortess of Suomenlinna (previously named Viapori (Russian time) and Sveaborg (Swedish time)) In 1918 during Civil war and after it Suomenlinna was used as warprison camp. Lack of food and hygiene cost many life. There were held not only men but also women and children.
Okay maybe he wasn't Scandinavian enough. Many Scandinavians love salty "licorice" (salmiakki) as well. It's up to how your tatse nerves are wired. You either LOVE the taste or you HATE it, and you know it with first try. Most Finns seem to have nerves wired the way salmiakki is delicious. - Suomenlinna was not conquered. It surrendered. Actually it was a victory with propaganda. The Russians and the Finns & Swedes wined and dined together, and the Russians spread propaganda. There had been an independence movement in Finland, and Russians promised all things fine (and actually kept promises after Finland became autonomic duchy in Russia) to seduce the Finnic independence people. And they claimed that Sweden had capitulate. As Suomenlinna did not get answers from Stockhom, the Swedish commander of the army decided to surrender.
I didn't like salmiakki as a kid, but now I love it. It's probably something we learn to like. There's nothing like it, so you probably need to get used to it.
Omg Finland looks amazing!! We want to go there soooo bad!
Welcome any day! :)
You are welcome to enjoy finnish hospitality and fresh and clean nature. Remember to ask smoked reindeer with blueberry from your restaurant!
Oh you!
I recently went to Helsinki too (in mid July) as I'm half Finnish and visited all the places you went to in this vlog. Really enjoyed seeing a small part of the world that few people know much about represented in one of your videos! X
Two Presidents Mr Putin and Mr Trump - were here a week ago !
I love living vicariously through you and your travel videos! So impressed you can accomplish such amazing goals and travel so much land. Can't wait to see where you go next!
+EvaSavesTheInternet thank you!! We've got some awesome videos coming
Hello folks im from finland.ill tell you a few things.first you missed the whole point with the karjalan piirakka you are supposed to eat it with eggbutter..look it upp..and if you want salmiakki you go to the salmiakki kiosk they have over 90 diferent types of salt liqurice salmiakki.fishplates.salmonsuop .combos salmon herring.karjalanpaisti, peasuop..
I ate reindeer and herring in Finland. Very interesting food!
I love pickled herring! But it sure is unreasonably expensive on the west coast of the U.S.!
Did you say that Helsinki has + 1 million people? I don't think that is true.
+Skege1000 Helsinki greater
Hey Nadine Helsinki population is 612k
Mikael Piltonen The greater is Hki, Vantaa, Espoo and others.
Skege1000 oh now i understood (: greetings from Järvenpää Finland!
Mikael Piltonen Yeah. It took few hours me to understand what she was talking about. Hello to you from Helsinki.
That intro sequence was awesome. Welcome to Finland, Nadine :)
Nadine, thank you for posting a video that started an intelligent discussion in the comment section. I learned that people are now thinking in geographical boundaries. When I traveled Europe there were only political boundaries. That was during the cold war and their was only east and west alignment and a wall splitting Europe. I have now come to think of Scandinavia as a political entity and Nordic as a cultural or ethnic entity, or maybe the other way around.
Anyway thank you for starting up a good discussion in the comments, even though it may have been inadvertent.
It´s quite interesting, and a bit weird, to see your home town through a tourists eyes. I´ve wondered many times about what is it that the foreign visitors go and see here - you sure have now seen more museums and sights here than i have. Man, i just live here..
+Slimebeast Pug - Kukin valitkoon itse mihin rajalliset resurssinsa käyttää.
(edit for non finns: In defence to the "pug" calling me "unciviliced fool" I answered that I have prioritized my limited time on earth in a way that gives the biggest revenue in materialistic and unmaterial value, and so should everyone else. If you are happy, you´re doing it. Sure I like to sightsee abroad on holidays, but I´m not having one when I´m home..)
I think you would test mustamakkara, it is a specialty from Tampere, my hometown of my parents... :-)
I want to go to Finland. Looks so beautiful
You should. The lakes are gorgeous but fair warning, go there in the summer and not the winter.
Northernmost populated city with one million plus people? Well technically Helsinki has 639 222 citizens. Helsinki Metropolitan Area has 1.4 million people. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Helsinki
I think the people of Espoo and Vantaa would disagree with you.
Helsinki is in Finland but luckily Finland isn't just Helsinki 'cause there is so much more and better in around country.
3:15 That is "Karjalanpiirakka", "Karelian pie" in English. It's a pasty from Karelia that is usually filled with rice but also potato. Sadly Karelia was occupied by the Soviet Union during the winter war 1939-1940 but Karjalanpiirakka still lives on in Finland :D
Thank you for this video. I'm part Finnish as well, so Finland is on my list of places to visit and I had no idea where to start. It's nice to see some of it through your trip.
Pronounced karyaalan peerraka or something like that! Karelian Pies! Originally from the east of Finland> Karelia region with potato filling but as soon as rice was a thing, it’s been a traditional filling of Karjalan Piirakka.
Where are the guy's roots from? Because honest to god, he looks totally like a Finn or Swede :)
What does bear and reindeer taste Like? If my sister knew she'd cry (big Santa fan 😂)
I'm going there this summer since this is where my Mom's side of the family is from!
Looking so happy and healthy Nadine! 🤗
This is a high quality presentation of Helsinki. give it six stars out of five. And great thanks for the great work in the video cut, otherwise it is of high quality. I think this should be quoted as a tourist guide. Also, you will have to reward it appreciably, at least 50,000€
Next time you go to Finland you gotta try the vendace. And you have to visit the Karl Fazer and Moomin cafés.
Helsinki has 600 000 people, not 1000 000+
Helsinki greater has 1+ million (Helsinki, Vantaa, Espoo etc.)
I think that is vendace, not baltic herring, they are usually bigger @ 8:00
Lol my house in the background
your montage clips are crazy amazing!
Finland, where candy is a form of punishment!
I am glad to see you two having a great time traveling the world. :)
vclamp It's not a punishment, it's a joy!
Slimebeast Pug i love it too
vclamp if you would't try the bad ones you would love it. Finnish candies are the only candies I enjoy eating. If I thinl about moving some where else I always think oh shit I can't live whit out our candies and ryebread.
Slimebeast Pug finland is NOT a part of scandinavia!
Slimebeast Pug Finland is not a part of Scandinavia
Awesome video, come to Poland sometime ;). I make travel videos from here with my girlfriend, would love to show you around. Who's 🇵🇱 watching this channel?
Lukasz Dmowski nice 😊
Lukasz Dmowski nice videos, your girl is cute ;)
Lukasz Dmowski I had two days in Krakow and loved it! From 🇺🇸
Tali Travels krakow is the best! That's where I live :D
That herring dish was everyone's least favorite school food but now that I am almost 40 I just love it. :)
They have Vendace in Finland that they fry up coated with a little rye flour, amazing, like eating tiny fish chips.
Your hair and makeup looks SO good! You're naturally so beautiful! I can't wait to meet you at the LTA summit!!!
Great video! Thanks for sharing this is now on my to do list. 🤗🤗🤗
Poro snack
League of Legends mentioned, see you at howling abyss!
finland is not scandinavia doe :p
Sadly many people outside of Scandinavia\The Nordic Countries don`t understand the difference between Scandinavia and The Nordic Countries.
Exactly
On some aspect it is!
Haha, I'm Swedish but don't like liquorice either. Some people love it though.
That is actually not karjalanpiirakka. The traditional karjalanpiirakka is filled with rice and is a lot more tasty than the potato one.
I like your videos, greeting from Colombia.
We like The videos from Colombia !
Finally you did it! glad to hear, you had finnish roots also. have to check that DNA results video too! :-)
What an amazing video as always!
I live and explore my dream international trips through your videos, until I can actually travel myself!
Thank you! 💛
+Jackson Smith why thank you!! Glad you are enjoying my videos :)
Try apotek salmiak ( haganol salmiak ) its real stuf or if you wanna drink it Koskenkorva Salmiakki !
liked video more like this plz.. and ignore haters.. from finland also .. u dont need to know all
If you really want to see Finland I suggest you go out of the capital region. Northern Finland looks amazing in winter and autumn, and in summer the sun never sets there, Eastern Finland has a LOT of lakes, Western Finland is more flat than other parts of Finland and it's beautiful too. Lol never heard that we got Suomenlinna in the civil war...
U should always remember that we rly do not eat stuff like bear or reindeer usually, we eat stuff like pasta, pizza...
I'M FINNISH OH MY GOD
That is not the traditional salmiakki candy
I'm in Finland at the moment too!
Love love love your videos!! It's cool that you're visiting the countries of your bloodline :)
+Zen Bayno yea it's really been fun!
Named (Soomanlina) Suomenlinna. Sounds really funny!
When speaking the Finn language--and the word has a DOUBLE consonant - you are supposed to enunciate that letter longer (like Kekkonen would be Keckkk---onen); and same with double vowel--the vowel is drawn out more! Like Aarinen is Aaah---rinen. I learned and could speak 3 languages in one sentence as a kid in Taiwan--Finnish, English, and Mandarin! Mom taught us well how to pronounce Finn.
Thnks a lot for your great vedeo..👍👍👍love finland amazing country 💖💖💖
Love u Nadine , I luv ur adventurous vids
Went to Finland in 1974 , Helsinki for two weeks then I went to Vassa for one week.Would have liked to have got up to Kokkola but never made it what a shame.
In Finland we now have salmiakki flavored condoms. :)
Reindeer is a caribou, similar to elk.
I kinda similar feeling when I stayed six month in US. Candies was like Russian Nucklear bomb to teeth. (Finland says hi)
I'm from finland and I live near helsinki
@Şïlĕñť Hűňťėrŕř vitusti liikaa
I'm sure that nobody in Finland has ever heard any Finnish/ finish jokes. Ever.
Well done...Great video. I'll be visiting Helsinki this year. It seems a beautiful capital.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS SO MUCH !!!!!💜😊. You should visit Ireland it has gorgeous scenic views!!
+Emma Sammy123 it's on my list!! Soon, soon .. hopefully haha
Hey Nadine I live in Ireland and I just saw a 100 year old cathedral today !! If you like history , food and music it's the perfect place for you. Plus thank you so much for replying !!💜❤️😊. I watch your videos all the time !! They're so inspirational !!
oh yes, Ireland is also on my bucket list!! must be beautiful!
Forgot to mention I really like your videos.
I was there 3 days before this video was published. Feels so strange now...and cool.
P.S. We didnt get the rain and the fruits from Market Square were simply amazing.
Probably maternal ancestor, unless the DNA test you mentioned was hecking expensive. That's the most common and cheapest way to track your ancestry.
I love your yellow Tee and those aviators. 😍❤️
this girl is a natural Beauty
I'm going to Finland in winter time! I'm not crazy, I want to feel how cold is gonna be compare to Canada!
RIP Rudolf 3:11 xD
If you're in Finland, you better to get used to bad weather
Your pronounciation is so funny (for a Finnish person) :D
That music at 8:54 got me so littttt!!!!!!!!
Salted licorice is a very very acquired taste.
