Fun fact: Laitila is especially known for its eggs, as no less than 12% of Finland's egg production comes from this town, which is why it's also called the "egg capital of Finland".
Salt is the most common de-icer. It’s used on all roads when temperature hoovers somewhere around zero degrees. When it’s colder nothing is usually needed. They might mechanically crush the ice. I don’t know about other cities but Helsinki uses salt on smaller streets only when it’s really needed but they use it also on bike lanes. There are other chemicals that are used to protect ground water but they’re more expensive. Gravel is mostly for pedestrians. If it’s really icy and too cold for salt they might put it on the worst streets. Cars don’t really need gravel but busses are in trouble when it’s really icy. It also destroys our windscreens, bike tire and air quality.
Salt and saline solution is used in warmer weather conditions. In places where the temperature stays under -10c it's just sand(usually finely crushed gravel of 0-8mm grain size) with salt mixed in so that the "sand" doesn't freeze in storage. Above the Arctic Circle saline solution is only used during summer and sand with richer salt content is used sparingly.
The road salt used here is calcium chloride, which is less damaging to the environment than common cooking salt (sodium chloride) that is used in the US
There was news just recently about how darts is very popular in Finland. There's basis for that, because there's this traditional summer pastime. There's a saying that the most common "painting" in Finland is this dart board: "Tikanheittoa elokuun illassa" and "Tikkakilpailut Heinolassa 12.11.2016". You can also make traditional Finnish beer on your yard, so the both elements needed for darts are there: "Perinteisen Sahdin valmistus", "SheltonBrothers Brewing Up A SAHTI", "How to Homebrew Sahti (Traditional Finnish Beer)" and "Real Ale Craft Beer Finlandia Sahti Beer Review". Another gentleman's sport, which has gained popularity, at least as a spectator sport, is snooker.
The name "Uusikaupunki" (Swedish "Nystad") means 'new town'. It was founded in 1617. "Kaupunki" can also mean 'city'. Laitila is known for eggs and a brewery. Klaukkala is the largest populated place in Nurmijärvi.
Churches of Finland sounds more interesting to me as the next game. @8:05 Kaupunki means town or city, so that literally translates to New Town. Despite the name it's not exactly new, as it was founded in 1617, making it 12th oldest town in Finland. Uusikaupunki is well known for being the location where peace negotiations for the great northern war of 1700-1721 between Sweden and Russia took place.
Helsinki is expensive place, many live further away due to prices but for other reasons too. I live in Riihimäki which is 65-70km north of Helsinki and many people choose to commute to Helsinki every day... by train or by car
2:04 Hilariously great! An American who doesn't speak the language and has never visited the country sees "Yliop.." and the rest blurred and knows it's University street :D :D In some phase you asked about living in the city center of Helsinki. It really is a lot more expensive than elsewhere and many people commute there for work. It's the same with the other bigger cities, but they are not that expensive as Helsinki. I am not sure but I think I have eaten at Hesburgers on rounds 2 and 5.
Kiitos katsomisesta!

That's quite interesting
7:00 Those ATV:s are popular in Finland mostly used by teens because you can drive those when you are 15yo
That seems so fun to drive even for someone like myself
medieval churches sounds fun!
Looks like Medieval churches will be coming soon!
My vote is for churches.
3:03 Itsenäisyydenkatu, meaning; "Independence Street". It might be mouthfull for non Finnish speaker... :D

Church time!
Salt is used here In Finland on major roads and salt sand mix on smaller ones and fine gravel on bikepaths and walkways.

I lived in Klaukkala as a child.

Does Helsinki have a lot of traffic in the mornings and evenings?
4:24 yellow building is a fire station
Actually watching this while eating hesburger ❤ i actually live in perttula and visit klaukkala hesburger quite often, what a coincedence 😅
That sounds good - I wish I could eat a hesburger!
Really warm here In Pori.
Above freezing mostly.
Wow. We've been below freezing for 12 of the last 13 days. I mean northern Florida even had temperatures like Pori earlier this week.

14:54 You can go in. It's just small. It's not the size of the building, it's how you use it.
Tampere here
I vote for Medieval churches. Thanks for a quick video 🚀
We were somewhat even with first three ones, the closer to Helsinki we got, the more I lost. You've had quite a lot of practice on that area.
That was pretty interesting
