It always amazes us how far Chicago's reputation of Al Capone and his cronies stretches! Seems like a cool city with some interesting history, thanks so much for sharing! 😊
I think Al Capone is something that's entered the global conciousness - I have a hard time imagining anyone who doesn't know about Chicaco and the gangster times... But thank you so much! :D
There may be people who are content with living in Gävle despite its perceived boredom and difficulty in becoming rich. Some individuals may value the peaceful and quiet lifestyle that Gävle offers, as well as its natural surroundings and close-knit community. Ultimately, the decision to live in Gävle or any other place is a personal choice that varies based on individual preferences and priorities.
L1 👍, you truly have brought Sweden to life for me, the tales you regale have stired so much fascination that I want to travel there as soon as possible 😊👍👌, great narration with great edits, stay blessed and safe, your friend Traveller MIA 🇬🇧
It makes me so happy to hear that! I'm really exploring Sweden myself while doing this, and learning about interesting facts along the way. I'm thrilled that you enjoy it - thank you, and hope you have a great Sunday!
Man, I really miss travelling so much! It’s your videos that keep me going, and I feel like I’m there in a way! 😀 Loved seeing all those lovely places!
Thank you so much! Haha, and after this I went to Romania and the south of Sweden as well... I ended up with so much material that I'll be editing for weeks now. So I guess I did get to travel a bit now!
@@ThreeStarVagabond OMG!!! That’s amazing. I’m jealous!! LOL! When I get to really travel again, maybe I’ll do a few vlogs of my own! After all, travelling is part of my well-being too! :)
@@LifewithMiu Why not, that sounds like a great idea! :) And you could always vlog about well-being and how to stay well while on the road and lots of stuff like that! :D
These individuals may value the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of the city, as well as the close-knit community and sense of belonging that comes with living there. They may find fulfillment in simpler pleasures such as spending time with loved ones, enjoying nature, and pursuing hobbies and interests. Additionally, some people may appreciate the slower pace of life in Gävle and find that it allows them to focus on their personal well-being and relationships, rather than constantly chasing material wealth and success. They may value the work-life balance that the city offers and prioritize their mental and emotional health over financial success. Ultimately, while Gävle may not offer the same opportunities for wealth and excitement as larger cities, there are certainly individuals who find happiness and contentment in the city's unique qualities and slower way of life.
It is difficult to determine who specifically wants to live in Gävle as it varies from individual to individual. Some people may find the city's coastal location and beautiful surroundings appealing, while others may be attracted to the city's historical architecture and cultural events. Ultimately, the decision to live in Gävle would depend on personal preferences, lifestyle, and reasons for moving to the city.
I lived there from 1998 till 2012, I liked it though it is a strange town in some ways. There are some great people there for sure. I’ve rarely been back since I moved to Nacka, but the town is part of my personal history.
There could be many reasons why someone would want to live in Gävle, despite it being perceived as boring and potentially difficult to become rich. Some people might value the slower pace of life, the natural surroundings, the close-knit community, or the overall quality of life in the city. Additionally, becoming rich is not the primary goal for everyone; some people prioritize other factors such as work-life balance, personal fulfillment, or community connections. Ultimately, the decision to live in Gävle or any other place is a personal one that depends on individual preferences and priorities.
Haha, I've never played it myself, but apparently it's when you throw a frisbee in a trail and you have to hit certain points. Like golf, trying to hit the hole. And you count how many throws you need to hit the location. It's weird but some people here enjoy it :D
As he says its a game where you throw frisbees and instead of a hole you have a hoop like in basketball hoop but you have chains instead of a net which keeps the frisbees inside you AIM for the hoop and for each hoop there are a marked begining and you get points depending on how many thrown you need and like in golf you throw from where the frisbee landed after the first initial throw.
It was actually really nice! But I think I'd recommend Västerås more than Gävle if one has to choose. I was even more pleasantly surprised by that town :D
That's a modern castle, not sure it plays well with my idea of a castle, but the tranquility of the waterways and the Mall was definitely to my liking 👌👌👌
After living here you realized that the Swedish "Castle" is more a manor house. In the English speaking world we always think of castles behind drawbridges surrounded by moats and with big, stone defensive walls. Not quite the same here. Oh, I also love these videos even though I live here. :D
@@bleubug That's a good point! I guess we do have proper defensive castles in Sweden too, but they are quite few compared to England or other places in Europe. And woohoo, glad to hear that! :D
I grew up right outside of Gävle. The castle disappointed me too. 😂 (I think we use the word to mean "building that occasionally houses/housed royals")
Very nice video! Love the old part showing how people used to live and Sweden’s Oldest Mall. Too bad greedy Russia that has the most land mass in the world has to keep taking even more land. As for your comment about Hell, there is a town named Hell in the state of Michigan in America. It’s university is called the University of Damnation, a Wedding Chapel and knickknacks with the devil motif. There’s no churches in Hell, but if you want to go to church and live in Hell you have to drive to the outskirts where they are located. It’s funny to google Hell, Michigan in the winter and see that it does get cold in Hell, it snows, has freezing temperatures and it rains there too. There is also a small town in Oregon, US called Boring.😊
Lovely! I am going to have to visit Hell some day. One of these days I really need to make a road trip in the US - there are so many fascinating places. And why not visit Boring at the same time then :D
Gävle is a nice city but its absolutely not situated in the north of Sweden, its in the southern part if we divide Sweden in two parts of same size, Gävle then is in the very northern part of the southern part so to speak.
It's not "Gavle" its "Gävle" and no its not pronounced "(YEV-luh)" and no swede would understand that pronunciation. It's like pretending "Water" is spelled and pronounced as "Vater" in English. Just put it in google translate and listen to the swedish pronunciation. Every name/location/city should be pronounced as the natives except the most famous places which usually have a recognized and accepted english variant like Stockholm (spelled the same but pronounced differently) or Göteborg (different spelling (Gothenburg) and pronunciation)
Aha! So they attacked multiple times but never actually took the city.. And apparently they burned other cities up the coast in the 1700s, but not Gävle...
Haha! For us southerners anything north of Uppsala is Norrland ;D Nah, I was just going by the wikipedia definition - I think it sounds pretty strange as well to be honest....
Nice video! But you should of went into the church and seen the rune stone! Or visited Gevalia coffee factory! He hee That restaurant with the peanuts on the floor and the US flag hanging is not bad food wise but really bad. I am an American and when I ate there all the Swedes thought ALL places to eat in US just toss food on the floor! The waiter told me "We want to you feel like you are back in US, feel free to toss chicken bones and all the food on the floor. We do not have illegals' working in places in Sweden like you are used too in US, but we have plenty of fairly payed staff with benefits to clean up after you!" He hee.
Yeah, good point! I just felt like I had such short time, since I was on a quick visit there - I forgot about many places... Haha, the only other place I've seen where people throw peanuts on the floor was The Long Bar in Singapore. There they did it out of some old tradition, to have peanuts on the floor so dangerous wildlife couldn't sneak up on you - or at least so I heard. I have no idea why they'd think that US people throw things all over the floor like that.
@@ThreeStarVagabond I guess they’re going for the ‘Wild West’ vibe. It’s pretty strange, but my 7 year old daughter loved throwing the peanut shells on the floor.
@@sarnia7559 Haha, I actually didn't even try throwing any peanut shells - it felt so weird. But I can imagine that kids really would enjoy it... "Am I allowed to DO this?!"
Haha, I don't know what that waitress was high on, most of us are aware that Church Street Saloon is the ONLY place you can do that. And even then I've never seen anyone throw anything but peanut shells on the floor there.
@@QueenMegaera Well tossing peanuts and bones on the floor is common in the US. In Florida where I lived for years it is very common. A franchise named "Codys" was one the of the serious places that does this. "Winghouse" is another one. But many others. Also out west in several places in California like in Valleyjo and Laholla this is common. So it is something done in US a great deal. BUT she was still being strange! He hee
You're wrong! It's NOT a tradition to burn the goat down. It's in fact a crime to do that. Get your facts right before saying that burning things down is a tradition.

Nice tour my new friend amazing place and content fully watched here stay connected💯👍👌👍👍👌👍
Thank you so much! Really appreciate it - very nice of you to check it out :)
I am German, and I visited Gävle in 1977.it changed a lot, but it's still nice town! 👍
Oh wow, that's quite a while ago! Glad to hear that it still looks nice - even though I can imagine that most of the things from 1977 are gone by now.

If you can get Ken Burns' Prohibition, its a great documentary.
🌟🌟🌟Gorgeous scene beautifull 👏👍👌💐 . Loved watching, so joyful. Great work 👏💛#mymouseartgallery
Thank you so much! Really happy you enjoyed it :D
What camera used here?
It's a DJI Pocket 2. Bought it spontaneously since it had a built in gimbal - and this was my first trip trying it out
@@ThreeStarVagabond I like the quality
@@Mcrishmusic I'm actually really happy with it! It's not perfect in low or bright light but still good
Never knew Gävle was in Norrland. I could swear it was in Svealand. It's really not that far from Stockholm.
Agreed! It's really weird and I think both people in Svealand and Norrland dislike it 😅
Fin film min hemstad och där jag tog studenten på vasaskolan! Boulognerskogen är en favorit på sommaren.
Tack så mycket! :)
looks interesting !
It's a pretty nice town actually!
@@ThreeStarVagabond Some people say that is ..ugly...well, I will see.
@@ThreeStarVagabond Planing to visit !
Well, then you'll see for yourself! I mean, it's an industrial town and so on, but I found it quite nice with a lot of parks and a nice central square
8:04 Gävle also designed the logo of Meta. Great vlog!
Really? Haha, can I send them hatemail for that? 😉 But thank you so much! 😀
What’s frisbee-golf? 🤔

What an absolutely lovely city 👍😃 I have never been there, but now I would really like to go. The old town was really beautiful 🤩
It was actually really nice! But I think I'd recommend Västerås more than Gävle if one has to choose. I was even more pleasantly surprised by that town :D
@@ThreeStarVagabond Ser man på… Västerås. Jojo, men då har man mer resande att göra när den här j…. pandemin tar slut någon gång 👍
@@scandinaviannaturediaries8892 Haha ja det finns nog mycket att upptäcka så fort det går över. Men först har vi väl en fjärde våg....
@@ThreeStarVagabond 😞😓😣😖😫

something about old houses and cobble stones.. beautiful. lol.. those names are very confusing.
Thanks! Haha yeah, I think people were quite confused back then about the name of the place....
I'm not sure if it's a big house or a a modern castle
Haha, might as well just call it a big house.
@@ThreeStarVagabond :)) cool! See you soon, my friend. Have a good weekend
@@linhandcalvin7109 Likewise! Hope you've having a great Sunday! :)

Thank you! It was a pretty cool place wasn't it :)

It does look pretty weird when you see a map of "Norrland" right? It dips down just to get Gävle included even if it clearly makes no sense.
6:28 how about "Jävla"? That's always the first word that comes to mind when I think of this town. 🤣😋
6:08 background 🤣
Haha! I never even noticed that...
People are least friendly in Sweden. And yes I am in Gavle.
Well that's true enough! Swedes just grumble and complain outside of earshot...
I love it when your Swedes call a big house a castle. LOL
We're proud of what we've got...even if all we have are some big houses :D
6:08 Looks like an old man peeing
What the...! Yes! It definitely is :D I never noticed at all
It's not "Gavle" its "Gävle" and no its not pronounced "(YEV-luh)" and no swede would understand that pronunciation. It's like pretending "Water" is spelled and pronounced as "Vater" in English.

i was arrested in that city😂
nice overview btw
What, really? Well, just goes to show what a cesspool of crime it is, right? ;D But thanks!
Nice video but the town Gävle has never been taken by the Russians. They tryed, bit failed...
Aha! So they attacked multiple times but never actually took the city.. And apparently they burned other cities up the coast in the 1700s, but not Gävle...
Your Uploaded video gives a good time.
Ease your stress with a Ukrainian/Russian music video.

My only objection is that you say Gävle is in Norrland... 🙄 As far as I am concerned anything south of Sundsvall is not in Norrland.
