Woow nice...we are srilanka
good job guys
Jump back to autumn, jump back to Europe.
Nearly correct but not quite: Uppsala is the 4th city in Sweden, a bit north of Stockholm. The largest one in the north is Umeå, with some 95.000 in the city itself and 130.000 in the district of Umeå. Östersund is a very rare example of a planned city, where originally every other block in the city was a park. This was supposed to prevent the whole city from burning down, like what happened in Sundsvall, if a fire should break out.
J adore Montréal!
Totally agree with both of you Toronto is about the wow factor but at the end it is just a better generic North America n city . Where as Montreal may look a bit provincial, but it has a real identity unique in North America. In short Toronto will impress you , but Montreal will charm you .
ESL teacher taught us a Halloween rhyme: Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat, not too big, not too small just the size of Montreal.
Just the size of Monreal lol
Niiiice, so glad you liked it even if it’s not Paris 😝 And the magic atmosphere of Christmas decorations and vibes are making the waterfall looking even better then I thought 😍 You should really come here in summer time too in order to see the difference and also visit all the music and art festivals 😊
Yeah! Summar in Montreal should be amazing!

I’ve been to and enjoyed Ottawa in the autumn and in the summer. Montreal looks like a great place to visit (in the summer ha!). Thank you for taking us along!
Oh of course! We would love to visit all of these Canadian cities in summer. Must be different vibes.
really fresh
Filmed it last week!
Heeey, in summer it’s a fun to be here. You should come during that period also ❤️ Can’t wait to see what's next 🥰
Yeah we should come back in summer for sure!
满地可😂--最欧洲的北美城市
Well I complained about people going far away to other country´s to eat at McDonald's. Caught in my hypocrisy, I ate lunch in Burger King in Stockholm 3 days in a row. The next go, I´m seriously considering going to Umea and ride the ferry to Vaasa Finland. Sweden is awesome after the initial day of getting situated in your lodging and learning the public transit system.
Haha! Now you understand us! Vaasa is beautiful. Let us know how it goes.
So good! I like more the western part, looks kinda familiar to the city I lived. And you might even see similar architecture decorations there :)
Yes, these kind of houses are pretty common all across Europe.
Come eat your dinner 😂🎉
Tallinn and Pärnu is must turist citys in Estonia. If you vist those two citys, you dont see the real Estonia... :( Those are for tourist......
10‘15’‘-11’22‘’ 背景音乐《夜来香》-- 一支日治时期上海滩的名曲,多年来被污名为铁蹄下的 “灯红酒绿、纸醉金迷” 音乐形象、黄色歌曲、靡靡之音。上面爵士乐演奏的《夜》曲,诞生于二战胜利前的上海,衬托在二战重镇柏林,倒也合适。

Haha I guess the fall of Berlin wall was "the tide of the times."
@@LiraNeo2023 Yes, it was.
I like the wall graffiti, it looks nice, the modern ones. Many historical places and monuments. I guess visiting this city requires a lot of reading and preparation to fully enjoy the importance of the place. Hope you liked it 😊
It was a great expierence overall. The city is just so fascinating and unique, there is nowhere else like Berlin.
Wellcome to germany Neo 😂
Thanks! I had a great time here. Can't wait to explore more!
Thankfully everyone was okay. What an ordeal to have in a foreign country! I’m impressed that you had duct tape and scissors and a reflective vest. Great work :)
Yeah, we were prepared. The duct tape worked out fine btw
The architecture is really amazing, like this style and historical background. And Bach 😍
Towns in East Germany are so pretty!
Warsaw is full of restaurants that serve Asian cuisine e.g. 🌀Pańska 85 (address: Pańska 85, 00-834 Warszawa) 🌀My Food China 湘味面馆, (address: Garażowa 7/U2, 02-651 Warszawa)
Beautiful
Great video! Glad you liked our small and partly ancient town here. We are really far from being independent right now as are most countries in the world but getting there slowly😉 Welcome back!
We were so glad to have visited there, will be back one day for sure!
Soooo beautiful 😍🥰 Nature really brings you that kind of peaceful state.. love it, thank you guys for sharing it ❤
Yes, I get what you are saying. Estonia is also divided. In so many more ways than one. There are things we will never compromise, things like our independence. But other than that everything is an endless debate. And we are not very good at debating, more like insulting each other.
👍🤗😎
Hey where did you buy the hot pot? Looks good
Got it from an Asian grocery store in Warsaw, good stuff.
Glad you enjoyed Wrocław. Theres a good pierogarnia in the city center, in the old town. Also, not 2 hours away from Wrocłąw, there's two national parks worth visiting - Karkonoski Park Narodowy and Park Narodowy Góry Stołowe. Both beautiful and unique. If you go to Karkonoski Park Narodowy, there's going to be Książ Castle on the way there, also worth visiting. Have a nice trip!
That's some really tips! Appreciate it!
great video. If you go north and take tour around bydgoszcz , toruń and fantastic gdańsk
We heard a lot of good things about the North, will check them out if we have time!
Estonia would have been Nordic for sure if not ~50 years of soviet occupation that threw the country back to stone age. Estonia had an economic and financial prosperity compared to Nordic countries before the occupation. And the whole world just turned a blind eye to what soviets did with Baltic states. This is the reason why we 🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹 better than anybody understand Ukraine and that's why ruzzian embassy looks like this.
I agree with everything but slight correction, it was less than 50 years, not 80+. Unbelievable, the Kingdom of Sweden had us for longer, Denmark and the Russian Tsardom (under the German nobility) too, yet it feels like the Soviets broke us the most. Finland really got lucky.
@@hangingontheWildside , thank You for the correction! 😊 Didn't notice that mistake 🙉
I think it can be explained simply using basic values like the second language (which has a significant cultural and political impact) and work ethics. So, what do "Nordic" and "Baltic" mean for a country that calls itself Eesti? If we say "Nordic," it would imply that the second language is Swedish (which is why the international name is Estland), and it suggests that the country is naturally aligned with other Western nations. In terms of work ethics, it would mean the presence of trade unions, as collective bargaining better protects workers' rights. On the other hand, if we say "Baltic," it would imply that the second language is Russian (which is why the international name is Estonia), and it suggests that the country is more aligned with Eastern Europe. In this context, work ethics would mean that you do your best, but if someone else can offer your employer cheaper labor, you could be fired and replaced by that person
@ragnarlaine4065 , well, before WW2 there was a significant Swedish community in Estonia. There were even Swedish schools in Estonia. And "Baltic" is surely not "Russian". Russification of the region did it job, but if talking linguistically: baltic languages (Latvian and Lithuanian) are as tied with russian language as are, for example, italian or greek, Estonian has no ties with russian language. If talking nowadays: try speak russian langiage in Lithuania where there is only ~6% of russian population or in the southern part of Estonia, or in the islands. And work ethics in Estonia are definately different from those in, for example, Romania, Bulgaria, Belarus, Ukraine etc.
When she said that know a place)
Next time I recommend this: towns like Haapsalu (another resort town but smaller with a typical Estonian small town vibe, also a really well preserved mediaeval castle, one of the best we have and lots of bird watching, and very very nice spas (or just nature watching towers because lots of bird species stop here on their travels), Kuressaare and the island in general (just the drive to Kuressaare, the capital of the biggest island Saaremaa) is worth it: first you take a ferry, then drive a little, then you take a bridge, which really feels like driving in the sea, to the actual island) It is a trip through the sea twice. maybe also go to Tartu. But to understand the pleasures of Tartu one probably needs to live there. I went to university there (founded in 1632, among best 500 in the world). It is basically a university town with its own vibe completely. But to understand it, you probably need to have memories here. For the eye of a tourist it would probably look weird. Just go to nature. Some national parks. You get the real feeling of nature without the dangers of it. No poisonous snakes or spiders. You will not meet a wolf (unless looking for her in specific hunts built for photographers) because we some so much nature and so few people that the wild animals do not have to come into your front yard, they still have their own homes left. Or go to a bog, this is a unique experience. And you would not sink because there are wooden trails built sightly above ground for walking. We have hundreds, if not thousands, of kilometres of marked nature trails with huts you can stay overnight and make a fire inside, some even have the firewood ready, all free of charge. Might have wifi there as well. Another thing worth seeing are the manors (of the Baltic Germans, mostly from the German period) Some of them are simple houses, some are real palaces. And everything in between. And always amazing parks around them. Keila Joa is my personal favourite. Another place to try is Pakri peninsula. I will not even say why. Just drive to the top of the peninsula from Paldiski (easiest) or walk, and then you will see. And you can also walk all the way from Tallinn to Paldiski along the seaside. Of course, most of it wild nature, not nice sandy beach. You will have one trail right at the sea and another one higher up on the cliffs, going parallel all the time. If you do all that you will have some idea of Estonia, of what it means. Tallinn Old Town is great, and I am a fifth generation Tallinner myself and I love my home. But it does not equal Estonia I am telling all this since you had the wits to find Pärnu, not a typical tourist thing to do, esp first time. Curious how you thought of it. Was it suggested by a tourist information centre or something?
Haha we found Pärnu on the map in the first place then did some research. Turned out to be a great choice! Thanks for the tips, much appreciated.
The "mediaval" place you went to was not mediaeval at all. Just a dump really, and overpriced. There are two really nice ones right around the corner: Olde Hansa and Peppersack. Next time try them. They know what they are doing and they do proper research about their food, music, furniture, costumes..... They will know every detail about each food they are serving. Who exactly ate that, where and how the ingredients where shipped from and so on. Unfortunately, there are places who tale advantage of tourists and make a minimal effortto LOOK mediaeval by having clay cups and candlelight. But this is not enough. This place is usually quite empty and there is a good reason why it is empty. Mostly drunk Finns go there who are so drunk they do not care where ther are going By the way, if you want to park without paying here, just put the emergency lights on and do whatever you want and go whereever you want. This is what we do here, nobody ever checks:) It only is annoying when some people get too arrogant about it. Like putting on emergency lights and parking in the bus stop to bring their kid on the bus. Like you cannot "break down" a few meters away? the kid cannot walk for 5 meters? But if you do it rationally and do not bother anyone by it, by all means ... Cool you went to Pärnu. Most first time tourists would not think of it. I think it is the third biggest city, after Tartu being the second. It is called the summer capital because it is basically a resort town. What characterises it for me is that it is all over the place. It has mediaeval buildings and jugend and modernism and classical and old wooden houses all mixed together. While in Tallinn all that would be kept very neatly separate. It gives Pärnu a different vibe. One of the most beautiful buildings in my opinion is the hospital which is partly imitating a gothic building but with a lot of glass and light.
Thanks for the parking insight, that's good to know. Parking in the country wasn't exactly hard. I would go as far as saying it's pretty easy in general.
As German I would not compare Warsaw to Berlin or Moscow 😂😂😂 I don’t think the Polish viewed would like it 😂
Yeah you are right, I apologize for the cultural insensitivity... but you know what I meant right?
@@LiraNeo2023 as a Pole I can confirm Warsaw can be seen as resembling Berlin, though on a smaller scale.
Yes, Warsaw is Warsaw with its own tragic history. It cannot be compared to Berlin or Moscow. And let it stay that way - every city is different and that's fine. However, comparisons can certainly be made between the architecture under communism and the occupation of Poland by the Soviets. We do hope, however, that these ugly Soviet-era blocks of flats (in Poland rather neat and painted, unlike those in russia, Ukraine and belorussia, where the balconies are built over and the buildings themselves are huge and ugly) will slowly be demolished and replaced with something more beautiful, especially in the centre of Warsaw - but this is already complicated property issues that come into play. Berlin, even the Eastern Berlin that used to belong to the DDR, was still a beautiful city and very rich for us Poles, especially in those days. Of all the countries under ruSSian occupation, East Germany was the richest and lived the best there.
As a German guy, I don't agree with your opinion.
Old and new combined so beautiful❤
Lovely place for sure!
where is this nice couple from?))
Heeey, seems so familiar, I like polish city landscapes and architecture. Such a nice place and you're right, that's a must-see place :) And hope you really enjoyed this Korean food, it looked so yummy 😋

"Polonez" has not been produced for over 30 years. Poles did not like it, they thought it was ugly and technically of low quality. They bought this car during communism, but they stopped when they started to have a real, large choice. And when it comes to popular cars in Poland, the most popular brand is (for several decades.)Toyota and the Czech Skoda. German brands are also popular - mainly because of their quality, which is lacking in, for example, French cars. Poles value quality above all. There are also many Range Rover SUVs - they are popular in Poland.
Yes, for hundreds of years, it was an official Chinese court dance.
If Estonia got a nickel for every time someone said it was 'underrated' or 'not what we expected', they'd be as rich as Finland! All the same, glad you enjoyed it. It def is underrated and worth a visit.
Yes. But why is it that we are so unexpected? What do people expect? A Soviet geto? Well, we never were on, not even during the Soviet occupation. We were very mindful not to become one, to just wait until this historical error would end. And thousands years of history and amazing nature does not get erased by some 50 years of stupid occupation. It did its damage, of course, but I do not see the point of showing the first time tourists all of that. We will deal with that on our own. You can just enjoy the beauty. It is there and it is real and well preserved. We know our own price
@@HelenGolovina-y9h I live in Estonia and love it. I did not mean to imply that people have negative expectations before they come ('Soviet getto'). I meant more to say that they generally just have very little knowledge of what is here, given it's a relatively unknown country. That is all changing though, with Estonian's tech marketing and it's growing role on the world stage lately (NATO/Ukraine). I for one however hope that it keeps some of its underrated reputation. That is part of its charm.
@@eddyengelman5125 I had no idea what you personally expected but a lot of people do expect the Soviet geto. My comment was more about the general expectations than your personal expectation. I got it from the tone of your comment already that you had a positive attitude. We are so much more than a tech market. I personally do not give much damn about that. We have an amazing culture, literature, theature. And amazing nature.
@@HelenGolovina-y9h I think where we disagree is: "a lot of people do expect the Soviet geto". In my experience, that is something that occurred 10+ years ago. Today people come in with little to no expectations, and are pleasantly surprised for exactly the reasons you mentioned (culture, nature, etc..). Agree to disagree on people's perceptions of Estonia. What we DO agree on is how cool this country is ;)
HAHAHA, sorry I didn't know it was already a cliché...
I've been to the medieval restaurant too and the landlady has her witty way of treating people. We ordered moose soup and she scolded us for not bringing our own spoons 😂 I think the most well known restaurant in the old town is Olde Hansa which is also medieval themed.
Yeah we saw the other one around the corner as well, seems legit
In general, the baltic sea coastline is is very nice. I recommend driving along the coastline, or camping along the coastline. The cultural "nordic" vibes and architecture are also quite similar along the coastline but You will see more red brick the more south you drive - the better clay deposits were there. Cultures, tribes and countries across and along the pond have many-many ties :)
Lol, ham on brown cheese :O We "never" use brown cheese with other salty stuff, except butter. Brown cheese is best enjoyed with jam on bread or waffles -- or as a secret ingredient in brown or creme sauces. Nice video, though :D
