Out of all the the possible things in this world, only hockey has this effect on Finns.

That ice hokey celebration video is what "Torilla tavataan" means

Yeah, we are a bit passionate about hockey.

When we won in -11, I walked through downtown just hugging strangers on my way. Try that on a normal day and the first person will punch you in your face.

Buses are actually often full in bigger cities, people just don't talk to each other unless it's a national festival. Btw, Finland is still the reigning World Champion because covid cancelled the 2020 games.

Nastaa että meillä on tuollainen Suomen suurlähettiläs suuressa Texasissa 🇫🇮🇺🇲🤩

Finns in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan are this exact same way. Even when I'm super excited no one would ever know unless there is a hockey win.

If this was "the worst Finnish hockey team in decades", I understand that people were relieved. Finland was not humiliated, instead they won.

Thanks for reacting Timo's videos, those are so good and amazing. Recommend to watch all video of this WTF - Welcome To Finland series.

This is the most wholesome thing I've EVER seen, I'm literally laugh crying cause it's so damn cute. I wanna move here so bad.

when we wont the world championship for the third time, I remember reading that they fenced off the fountain. because they were worried that the mass of humans is going to damage it because the last time didnt do very good for it either. sure there is the tradition of putting the hat on the statue on the fountain but its like one person doing it so its not as bad as 10 or more standing on it. its hollow bronze, its not designed to be stand on.

Very cool, my friend. Finns go insane reminded me of Las Vegas whenever UNLV would win the Final Four (Basketball championship). The two sides of Finland are very interesting, I really need to go there one day. Thanks for sharing sister 🤗 Be safe and try not to stress out, it will all be OK 🤞

Finnish Friday = walk to a bar at 10pm, owner greets you locking the place up!

Two sides of Finns. When Finland wins the Icehockey World Championship you are allowed to hug strangers, be everybody's friend. I have attended the celebration once, there were 70 000 people in the market square area in Helsinki. When Finland wins we say "Torilla tavataan", "Meet you at the square!" Nowadays if Finland is mentioned abroad even remotely positively, does not matter what it is about, it's "TORILLA TAVATAAN!" (But you just say that, you don't go.) I did not take part in swimming in the Havis Amanda fountain. I think they, The City of Helsinki, decided not to allow that anymore. They fear for the statue. The fountain is also important during the vappu, 1st of May, celebration. Havis Amanda gets the white sudent cap placed on her head by the student organizations' representatives. Now they have to use a crane to do that, no climing anymore. Thanks for the funny reaction.

That celebrating is what we mean when we say torille!!

Timo wilderness and you are the best youtubers in this world!❤🔥😎

I think I see an empty spot in your heart. You have to come back.

Hello, and greetings from your former neighbor-country Norway. It's always fun, interesting and educational to see our part of the world, from an outside view. Having saying that, everyone should have been sent abroad for some time. Then they might find out that the difference between us and them not always is as big as we think. But to your reaction videos, I'm kinda Nightwish fan, should have gone to see them live in Amsterdam the 24th this month, but some virus got in the way. You must try out their newest album, "How's the heart" is one of my favorites. Or their tribute to Augene Shoemaker. But we also have some talented singers in Norway, try out Aurora. Or the young talent Angelina Jordan - her AGT performances perhaps. It's all on you tube :D Have a great day.

I’m finn and you make so good videos i like watch them❤️🇫🇮

About Finnish music. Have you heard before a band called Poets Of The Fall? So underrated rock band with awesome lyrics and Marko is amazing singer. Check it out, please. :)

Suomalaisissa ja canadalaisissa on paljon samaa. Ollaanhan me skandinaavit paljon asutettu Canadaa ja Amerikkaa. Mullaki on puoli sukua Canadassa sa siskokin perheineen Texasissa ja hänen miehensä pelaski jääkiekkoa ammattilaisena siellä nuorena. Kiitos videosta!

Tank you again, always a delight seeing your videos. And yes, it was a little bit similar also in Turku that evening.. :)

Try to laugh/smile when its -20 degrees celcius. 2 options: 1. you succeed and your smile/laugh is froozen to your face / 2. well just dont try, its hurting to much all those cramp you get smiling.

That Lumilapio is on the nice side of the insider jokes of what Finns may teach to foreigners as greetings. They may be obscenities as well. Glad you were not tricked with those. But until the next video: Lumilapio!

As a Finn working in Australia yeah we are usually quite reserved yet sometimes you have to let it out and go nuts. As for the elections in the U.S. you are supplying laughs and giggles all across the world... seriously, from the outside it's friggin' hilarious. So thank you

nice video. greetings from Finland

That hockey video was borderline SCARY

I needed a good laugh, too. 🤗❤

Well Rachel, the comparision of those two videos is the way of life here in Finland. Well we finns have been told not to talk too much, and usually to be feel too annoyed in those daily social greetings with other people. So social distancing is our way usually. But hell, can we do some partying, when there is some purpose to it. HELL YEAH! And btw if you are intrested for some music suggestions, try these Bands. Tarot. That is actually Marco Hietalas own Metal band from the 80´s. And the other one is Battle Beast. Well if you love Tarjas and Floors voices, Noora will hit you to that other universe. Trust me, you will love these!!!

From Chill to Berserk. Quiet people can surprise ;)

In New York, they say, the best party when the rangers celebrate the NHL championship. I was in Heling 2019 to celebrate Finland's world championship with a group that should not have had any chance beforehand and this unites the people, i.e. a positive phenomenon. Did you know that Florida Panthers captain Barkov, who won the NHL championship, was from Finland? The Finnish championship already stirs the whole city to celebrate and it unites people and really only Finnish juttiu, luckily I wasn't seen in that video ;)

Timo is one of my photographer friend's buddy. They are amazing at their work. Nice to see they are getting lots of views. 🙂

Random facts about finland: In Finland there was some group of ppl blocking the road what was dangerous and police tried to get them off the road but they refused. Police used pepper spray on them and we are thinking they shouldn't have used those because it hurts the eyes. We use as little as can of violence here even cops gets in trouble for using a pepper spray on a person without a weapon. (They did get of their road after they got pepper sprayed) There is 3.3 million saunas in finland. Schools are open no matter what the weather is even if its over -20°C outside. We go to school and stay to long break hours inside. Bullying is taken very seriously in finland. Bullying is sometime taken so seriously that cops might be called. In Finland school system. You don't get always any homework at all. We dont have final exams in normal school u have to do. We have exams what effects just small precent of our final grade and what are easy to make. Example. My Math exam was one paper of quiestions 1 to 6 what had a and b. Over 5% Finnish students have to learn Swedish. You don't get useless homework of many sheets you just get few quiestions and what u can learn easily. In Finnish schools you can wear anything you want aslong its appropriate. Example you can wear ripped Jean's, t-shirts, shirts what show shoulders as long it doesn't show under your armpits. Schools uses detention as last result(if not included getting expelled or transferred) In Finland students respects their teachers and the teachers respects their students. Finland loves their pets than anything. If you are walking your pet you are most likely gonna get few stares just remmeber the stares are most likely going at your pet bc they are cute or cool looking. Finnish people love their coffee. Never. *clap* Disrespect. *clap* Their. *clap* Coffee. Finnish peoples sleep schedules are almost always messed up bc of the forever nights and days. If you come in Finland at winter be ready to freeze (mostly after Christmas days).

2:39 I think they were on tram not bus on that ice hockey celebration video. Buses look a like little different than trams.

I personaly dont watch hockey or football sport . I just dont get it. Its booring to me .

I think the time on the left side upper corner is referring to 1:35 AM. Not minutes. Like, it’s really late at night.

Seen you in newspapers recently, kinda funny :D

You should watch Yle broadcast of parties (which are in youtube). Ought to say when U20 won with Puljuaho in Helsinki some 3.3 m were watching.

Marko Hietala Isäni ääni-Voice of my father.

I was a teenager when Finland won the first time hockey world championship at 1995. I lived small city of Kokkola west coast of Finland and about 400km north from Turku. At that time there were about 35000-37000 population in Kokkola, but i can say that whole city was so crowded by the celebrating people that it was redicilous. I had to park my bicycle, lock it and walk becouse it was impossible to go with bike any where (not with cars either) and to walk around. 2011 we had gold for second time and same thing again. 2019 i lived in Tampere and as you propably know this one of the biggest cities in Finland so the celebration was same kind as you saw in that video. Tampere is also big ice hockey city in general. Tappara and Ilves are both local teams hockey is more of religion here than christianity. Actually 2020 was crazier in Tampere becouse Tappara won the finnich championchip, Finland won the world championchip and even first time ever Olympic championship so here were three times big hockey parties at same year 😂.

Lumilapio Raakkel and very funny video. Yes it is good laugh sometimes, thank you so much.

Damn 2019 was a whack. I actually don't watch hockey but even I was hyped after watching the game. It's fun how we can go from 0 to 100 real fast.

I like the finns. best metal country in the world. very charming people. only the language is so difficult. have you seen "heavy trip"? have a great weekend too. and be safe and well.

the laughing girl in that WTF video was 100% a swedishtalking finn.

imho pda are more taboo in the us. in finland it's absolutely "no big deal" but i've heard it's more of a statement in the us.

I could write a novel about this, but I only write 🤘🇫🇮f Nightwish army Finland - that fountain is full of icecold water at that time of year - statue is famous in Helsinki and it's now protected in Vappu time for students climb in it. Stay safe and Take care of Your loved ones...

@3:45 Of course he was butt nakked! It's illegal to swim in fine fountains with your clothes on!

Have a nice weekend Rachael! 😐

Well, I can't know if this hits your sense of humour, but there's a seriously Finnish game made with a not-so-serious attitude. The point of the game is to repair a used car, Datsun 100A from scratch. I've understood the programmer can speak proper English, too, but has chosen to use this sc. "Rally English" -accent. The video is about the game, which had some degree of commercial success, "äs diskraibed bai tö developper himself". He hits the road at around 25 min. I presume in some states one would need a trigger warning for explicit language (mostly between 27-28:30 minutes). The link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qJZ5jcKFquDLZ4E.html

Yeah, they are crazy 🤪 Oh, I'm also Finnish... 🤣 All the best from Oulu to all of You in US. Hope some day the election is over. We'd like to have some domestic news rather than just about Your election 🤣 So, sort it out and go on with life, thanks 😂 Stay healthy 🤗

Qualifying for Euros in football is big too. Cuz weve been so shite in football for a long time.

Finland goes Florida

Omg! Really didn't expect that from Fin people :) well, glad they can express their feelings after all :) Good Luck with elections. Here in UK is all they show on the News - no more UK news 24/7 America :) we are all waiting - also we have a national lockdown here in England at this moment and the weather is crap, so yes - tv is on ! Good luck!

I'm a Finn and couldn't care less about ice hockey or any other sports.

Finnish police anounce: Hey everyone. On this evening we are not going to central square 🤦‍♂️🤣

You have been in the wrong places, when I was young they were telling the police that "let me finish first" in the bushes. Like when alcohol is involved its pretty common for us to get closer. My probably worst thing I did was while my friends were in line to get some night food from Hesburger I help a dame in distress to clean her pipes against thrash contrianer. So back when I was young you saw the act of reproduction a bit here and there during certain events. On vappu we pack like sardins in a park, on midsummer we are naked everywhere... Today's generations have a bit adapted the censorship of other places.

YEES OI MAAMME SUOMI! (Translate) OI OUR FINLAND

LOL Thanks for the new meaning for the word "WTF" :D and for the next reaction hows this.. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/erSqe6VqzdfNe4k.html

About the election, Weekend at Biden's could be a really entertaining reality show.

And you pribably didnt know that it was winter

Yeah it’s either vodka or hockey that can bring finns together (well that actually works in Sweden as well). 😊🍻

Sometimes we take”TORILLE” little toi serious

Hei Rachel, was fun to see your reaction to celebrating icehockeycrazy finns that so many of us are when we play from world championships. I'd like to suggest to you this finnish band ( don't know if it's familiar to you already) Poets of the Fall , hope you enjoy it as much as from the Nightwish music kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pdOgmNmmt5eaZGg.html this is an older video from their long path, so many more good songs to look for if you like it. =) Lumilapio!

love it, go Rachael

This was 2019..before corona

Wtf i've never heard anyone fool someone by saying lumilapio means hello

Yea it do be like that

Have You see vappua?

Hooo finns we are very expresive when we are angry. 😎Satana PERKELE 🤘

I just wondered how many people uninated to that Havis Amanda fountain when they were in there and others were swimming in it. I bet someone drank it. Or maybe booze they drank dilluted urin so it's not that bad and even the hardcore Yogis even drink their own urin.

Do or do not there is no try... thats for the celebration vs depresion

Ice-Hockey does not affect my feelings at all!

That was a team pretty close to no one even in finland gave any chance for winning the championship...

As a fin i feel stupid wathing this- But- that, was a little funny..- And btw mörkö means kinda a funny word for beast-

We have won in 1995 2011 and 2019

sleeping sun from nightwish Tarja Turunen next:kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kLOmntiftNTPcYE.html i never have hearding peoples in finland using word "lumilapio" from greetings others so forget that it is not a greeting word.I think it is someone finnish person awkvard black humour.

I think "lumilapio" originates from this old ad kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdCogZBmqN_WYYU.html

Seasonal depression is real.

I don't know if you believe this but we kinda like hockey a bit

Finnish saying: Positiivisuus on perseestä 😁

I´m living a dream, but all my dreams are surrealistic nightmares though.

Now in Turku is +10 Celsius and.... Daark☻

Hei where are you

I laughed so hard 😂😂

Congrats on the Election! We celebrate (though not like that and I really don't care for icehockey,,) it here too!

When are u coming to Turku again?? Nice vids about Finns and Finland, Rachel.

Lumilapio lyric - Lumi lumi lumi lapioo lapioo dring Tapioo Tapioo we need vodka and juice ...

Yes, some Finnish people are loosing their marbles... 😁

Sarcastic people 🤣

Hockey yes - and alcohol :D

And another thing that drives me mad. I have tried for years to connect to my kinfolk (they are ALL in Finland) via Facebook. They all have accounts. But guess what? None of them reach out! None of them even post or comment on Facebook! I could write that I am dying of cancer and i bet ANYTHING they wouldnt comment! I know this for a face because my mom here in America has been hospitalized for two weeks and her four sisters and rest of kin aint even reached out to her or me or even commented on all my update posts. Shame on them all. I swear the more and more I see how they are, the more I resent being Finnish born!

Hockey and darkness 🤘 No sunshine needed😎 Ihanaa leijonat

ofc he was naked! why would he go swimming with your clothes on??

Love you Raakel but I am so sicick of news 49ers have half of the team away and US politiccs is fuucked up.

Was She even finnish because She laughed😂

Pistolapio, betonilapio, ojalapio, viljalapio, kenttälapio......LUMILAPIO Raakkel...greetings from Turku.

2:35 TORILLE! TORILLE!

Finns gone wild

They drunk

Just wait until you see when Finns get angery...
