- Join us as we cross the Arctic Circle on the 12 hour overnight journey from Helsinki to Rovaniemi to visit the real Santa Claus Village in Lapland Finland!
If you bought a drink, coffee, and a bun they may not have kicked you out of the dining car. The reason why they don't let you eat your own food there is you are taking up space from the paying customers.
yes, but don't forget they paid what I would guess is a very expensive ticket to get on the train so that should give you access to the cafe alone.
@@inter_1097 The dining car is a restaurant on the train. You do not bring another restaurant's food in there to eat. Would you do that?? Avecra Oy(separate from VR) is the company that provides dining services on the train. They have every right you buy their food to eat there.
@@inter_1097table cleaning and trash removal are added to the prices of restaurant meals, not to the ticket price.
@@inter_1097 restaurants are to sell you food, not to offer a place where you can eat your own. It is a normal everywhere.
@@inter_1097its not that expensive
woah booking a hotel only after arriving during the high season sure is a risky bet. Or rather a question of money but glad you found something affordable
We were almost worried we might have to stay the night in the McDonalds
7:35 Commenting on how rough it looks like to travel in economy class is a good way to make yourself look like a jerk, especially while passing people doing just that. ;) Luckily, many of them might not be making the full trip to Rovaniemi. But if someone happens to be doing just that because they are broke, it's probably not something they want to be reminded about.
In america your self-worth is caclulated by how rich you are (rich equals succsess) but looking at their tiny overnight cabin
you can also see theyre on a budget. When i , as a native, do the trip i usually book a bigger cabin with shower and wc inside and the price
is not even that big of a deal.
but from now i will probably travel by car just to avoid all the youtubers travelling to the "north pole" pissing off restaurant crew by unpacking their homebrewed mystery meals there..... :-)
I still enjoyed other parts of the video. At least so far as I remember.
Usually i fall asleep when i sit. 😂 Maybe it is the old age that makes it possible to fall asleep almost everywhere.😂
I wanted a sleepcabin, but they were sold out. So we'll make the best of it. My son sleeps everywhere and the adults will make do. On the way back we've got a cabin.
I like it that they aren't fully trained influencers, but two genuine people just going for it.
Maybe people traveling in regular class are not traveling 12 hours but maybe juat few stops.
True👍 There is no point buying bed cabin if you get out after few hours. If yoyr butt gets numb, just walk little and your butt is ready for sitting again. 😊
I went all the way to Rovaniemi from Helsinki in Economy Class. Had to sit there for over 12 hours and maybe 2 hours of sleep. I can't recommend it! 😆
You’re brave!
Thats pretty interesting that Rovaniemi has the most northern McDonalds in the world!😊❤ Awesome!
somehow felt ashamed for them... took their own lunches to the restaurant car, the North Pole??, booking a hotel only after arriving in Rovaniemi...😳
Rookies 😂, going north pole. Santa actually lives in Korvatunturi in our tradition, not on a north pole and definitely not on Santa Village😂
Tell other people they're poor eventhough you were to poor to book the bigger cabin 😅 p.s. How did you like the American food (Subway, Pringles, McDonald's...) in Finland?
Clueless American tourists, obviously. Rovaniemi is not on the North Pole, but that is geography, way too difficult for most Americans. Imagine eating something like the wonderful salmon, or the ever so tasty reindeer meat. way too adventurous! That might be why American tourists are so much loved worldwide...
We always took the bigger cabinet with shower because it is 15 euros more only, 😂.
Nice video! ❤😊 Ill be making the trip to visit soon! Inshallah ❤😊
Thank you 🤩! I hope you get to as well , it’s worth the trip ! Let us know if you go and what your experience was!
When Sarah Smiles... so beautiful
-10? On the sign it said -5. Its normal in the rest of the world to checkin on hotel before 11am???? Not here in europe anyway. The girl say dont film with your own camer and what are you doing??
I have sat there for 11 hours. Went well! :D
I love to watch these finnish vlogs from you
I was so suprised that you got pretty affordable place to stay at this time of the year.
We were unaware of how busy it would be , we got extremely lucky. I hope you get to travel to Finland soon !
Santa does NOT live at the North Pole and you did not go there! You went to santa-claus village in Lapland.
Nice vid, thanks 👍
The line of the Arctic Circle is about 1,650 miles south of the North Pole.
And that line isn't even the real artic circle.
What a nice footage ! It was fun to watch you guys, really like children as you visited Santa village. If only we all could feel it
like you did ! Greets from that northern side of Finland. All the best for your journey in the future. Take care. 🇫🇮
Lovely video! You really had quite an adventure! The trip was definitely challenging and it was cold too. Getting a hotel room seemed uncertain. Still, you were so happy to get to the Arctic Circle! Awesome!
Thank you! It was such a fun adventure, but Brrr!
Kinda rude to say that comment about travelling on the regular seats next to them. Also what makes you think it's okay to bring outside food or drink to a restaurant? Americans🤣
Say u r an american whitput saying u r americca🤫😝
Mate are you even finnish
@@2o2b joo oon
@@2o2b are u??
I love what they're doing from proud asss American
Some cabins have own shower and bathroom, they are on the top floor. Also more quiet during travel but more money of course. Also if you want it smooth and quiet pick the ones far from locomotive.
"Do we need to take a taxi to city center" made me feel a bit amused. For me as a Finn trainstation is in the city center city is just very small ;)
Yes you would need to book well in advance to get a room with your own bathroom, especially during Christmas. I think we meant where all the hotels are, rather than city center.
I applaud you guys for not getting klaustrofobic ,SOO tiny cabin...!
It was very tiny. Just enough for a bed to sleep
Ok video😉
Hi🏴💚
yankees... buying subway because thats all they recognize ; sigh
And in what restaurant world wide is it ok to bring the own food? wtf guys..
This is not the nord pole. Just the arctic circle!
lapland is so beautiful, did you enjoy?
Such a beautiful place, we had a great time!
P.S. All those letters will be answered , more than 500k letters btw,
I saw myself haha
When was this filmed? I dont get it, cause when I watch the Santa Claus village live on youtube, I see Santa's office, but there is no big Snowman in front of it?
Lovely vid btw, would love to visit too!
Thank you! We were there the week before Christmas. They may have already taken down the snowman when you watched it.
@@sarahandnick3870 cool! Thanks so much for replying! Keep up the great vids! :)
Nice that you enjoyed Finnish Mcdonalds, Finnish Subway and all the good Finnish food...
The salmon soup and karelian pasty were great in Helsinki, so was the reindeer and duck at kaukslauttanen.
Why do Americans always want to go by taxi when it is much much cheaper to go by bus? The taxi driver was not exactly honest with you when he said the taxi was your only option. AND 15€? The bus would be about 3 or 4€
We were told taxi was the only option to go 3km, other than walk all that way dragging the bags through the snow.
Also the distance was only 1.5 km.
North Pole? WTF are u talking about 🤣
It's a figure of speech for where Santa lives.
@@sarahandnick3870 Santa lives in Korvatunturi,or do you talk about coca cola Santa? 🤣
North Pole? You are not even close, yoy hava a map, you see the country north of Finland? That is Norway, and when McDonalds open in Tromsöin a few weeks , that is hundreds of miles north of Rovaniemi, and then the Rovaniemi McDonalds would not the mor\st northerly anymore. Norway has had McDonalds for 40 years, longer than Finland, but they decided not to open north of Steinkjer, of some reason, but they changed their mind.
Actually, id you mail a letter to SantaClaus, with no country, or North Pole, teh US Postal Service sends it to Norway, the Finns have tried do get them to send it to Finland, but I thing the USPS send it Alaska now
A nice peaceful trip, no privileged races, blacks or Muslims, what america used to be
