It is finally here! Heads and Tails. Reloaded – Season Three!
We will reload new cities this season.
We will rediscover incredible islands…
Evsei: They were selling awesome sandwiches for just 10 euros! I don't know why I got the one with fish because I do not eat fish. It was so red though!
Nastya: Hello friends! This is Heads and Tails Reloaded and we are in Stockholm!
The coin will decide everything. Toss it up modestly.
Weren't you supposed to call heads?
Evsei: Heads!
Nastya: Tails.
Evsei: It wasn't me. It just landed this way.
Nastya: I thought we had a deal where I would get to keep the gold card.
Evsei: Yeah.
Nastya: This is just so typical of you geeks. You cannot be trusted with a business strategy. Noob.
Evsei: What about the card?
Nastya: Excuse me. The card, of course. Have a good weekend. Give me five!
Stockholm is a city with a split personality.
You never know what you're gonna get. Stockholm gives you a throwback to the past!
It stuns you with neatness and then throws trash all over you!
Trying to foresee what may come is a lottery!
Well Stockholm, let us get aquainted?!
Here is my ride by the way!
The choice of wheels in Sweden was easy – the most Swedish car!
Volvo XC90 is huge and powerful like a true Viking.
He even brought Thor's hammer with him.
Volvo is recognized universally as the safest vehicle.
Mine can even read the traffic signs and decrease speed automatically.
The system tightens the seatbelts and activates the airbags before a collision even happens.
Notice also that my driver is not holding a steering wheel. The cruise control on this car can keep it in the lane, which is like driving on an autopilot.
My love for you was overwhelming! I loved every last drop!
Even though Switzerland…
even though Sweden is a part of the European Union, they still use good old kroner.
They just robbed me of my five euros and now I have 801 kroner left.
People pay commission for an exchange everywhere for a good reason.
This is how their government is trying to discourage people from using cash in order to save on the production of the notes and coins.
There are three ways to get to the city. On the right there is a high-speed electric train.
You will get on the bus if you go left. Going straight forward will allow me to show you the stingiest route.
Do you want to know how to save on transfer to Stockholm? It's a tricky scheme, but it works.
Take notes. Step one – buy a $14 daily pass for all public transport.
I have never seen that before. In order to buy a pass I had to print out a ticket with a number just like in the hospital.
Those Swiss.
I know that it is expensive, but it will definitely pay off.
Step two – head to the bus #583. It will take you to the town of Marsta.
The air conditioners are not common in Sweden, because it stays cool for the most part, but when it gets hot, you could die here.
Impossible.
Next, I will take the train going from Marsta to Stockholm. I think someone has a small problem.
It was in your hands. You got on the bus.
I am on time.
No tourist in his right mind would choose this extended route, but $14 allows you to get to the city and use public transport for the rest of the day.
If you keep in mind that a single trip costs around $4, you realize that you might be saving near $15.
Also this train has an A/C. Splendid.
Hello there Stockholm!
As I entered the city, all that I could see was the modest neatness. A typical northern city.
This modesty is not accidental. It goes hand in hand with a Swedish way of life – lagom.
This word does not have a translation. It means finding the middle ground.
When you have just enough of what you need.
Lagom is not a $500,000 racecar, it is a comfortable and safe automobile.
Lagom is not about baroque buildings or the golden monograms. It is a modern and practical architecture.
Lagom is not about buying ten things that look good, but one high-quality item that is durable.
Lagom can be traced everywhere in Stockholm. We will see it many times during this weekend.
Such life philosophy is a trouble for a rich tourist, because trying to find expensive ways to have fun in Stockholm is a tall task.
I will try my best to waste as much money as possible.
All tourists go to Galma stan area of Stockholm. This is the place that we imagined when we read
Astrid Lindgren's fairytales. Rows upon rows of the ancient houses.
The spires of cathedrals and churches.
The brick walk polished by boots and the centuries.
This town is very fairytale-like. I keep expecting Karlsson to fly out from around the corner or seeing Pippi Longstocking sitting on the bench.
Stockholm is the kind of city where you can stand in the middle of the street, make a 360 turn and no matter where you look you see unbelievable beauty.
It is hard to believe that Galma stan used to be a large slum until the mid-20th century.
The sewage and slop from homes would flow right on the street.
Do you remember where Zhanna hid the bottle last time? I am talking about those sewage pipes.
The last time Andrey Bednyakov told you why this building is popular among tourists, but did not mention its history.
A Danish king executed 96 Swedish aristocrats on this very square. This led to a revolt that resulted in Sweden gaining its independence.
The building is red to commemorate that bloody day. Each of the 96 white bricks around the windows symbolizes a slaughtered aristocrat.
Here is another cool thing – a fountain.
This used to be a well in the middle ages. During the plague, some people would contaminate the water
by throwing in body parts of those who died from plague, thus poisoning an entire city.
On that wonderful note, I will sip some of the healing water.
Terrible.
Do you remember when I talked about the Swedish philosophy lagom? You cannot find extravagantly expensive hotels in Stockholm because of it.
A suite in Sheraton is only $500. I based my selection on creativity instead of a price tag – Downtown Camper.
Nothing creative so far. A large box with windows that looks like a Soviet research institute. Let us see what is inside.
A very strange lobby. Nothing separates the weird-looking T-shirt shops from restaurants and the recreation area.
I must admit that this mixture looks great!
It is as if I am at a hipster bazaar – bookshelves and kayaks on the ceiling. The skateboards and bicycles that you can ride.
A beauty salon right next to an elevator. No walls whatsoever. Just shaving. That shave looks clean.
Let us check out my creative suite.
Well, it is kinda small. Everything is in accordance to the purest Scandinavian tradition – a bed, a desk, a TV, a small lounge area.
This is not a room. It is a Scandinavian design manual. Plenty of open space, lots of wood and pleasant colors.
Very minimalistic, but not without spice.
Look at this cabinet! It's a log! A real heavy log!
They even separate their trash in hotels. It has separate sections.
This is a masterpiece.
This is becoming interesting!
I have my own roof exit!
This is much more like it! Here is the pool with sunbeds. How do I get in? I guess I will have to go around.
You do not have to be rich to stay at a creative place in Stockholm. It offers a variety of unusual hostels. A hostel inside of an airplane with illuminators.
A boat hostel with sleeping cabins and a deck for hanging out. A hostel inside the jailhouse where the rooms used to be the holding cells.
The price of stay in each of these hostels is over $30.
I will stay at a regular hostel. About as regular as they get.
A regular room with sixteen regular bunkbeds.
It is so muggy here. The regular deal. Lockers and beds.
$21 is too much, but it will have to do on the Swedish scale.
It turned out that the streets in the center were closed due to a grandiose parade.
Let me walk around and have a look.
I did not expect this from Sweden!
European parade happens once a year.
People put on carnival costumes and party right on the street! This is why I could not get through. Just look at this!
That is what I call a party!
Swede are very modest people, but they realize that the whole world cannot be as modest.
My darlings!
They live according to lagom philosophy for an entire year and then throw a parade on the first Saturday of August to pay respects to other nations.
A strict Stockholm blows up like a blast of confetti.
This event is so fun that even men are wearing costumes and sparkles. The people are uninhibited and that is awesome!
The European parade attracts people who are not afraid to express themselves.
It does not matter whether it is a brutal man who likes to wear leather straps or a nudist girl.
The bosses of different companies join in the celebration. There are firefighters here, medical personnel and even Members of the Parliament.
The atmosphere is truly fantastic! It is fun and very kind-spirited.
You will not be able to recognize Stockholm tomorrow. It will once again become calm and reserved.
A person with an unlimited gold card has to dine at the finest establishments. Those are the rules.
Den Gyldene Freden restaurant will turn 300 in four years. It is interesting that this restaurant is the favorite among the members of the Noble Prize committee.
The members of the Noble Academy dine at a modest restaurant with worn-out chairs and contemplate about who should get the prize in literature for example.
It comes with a million dollar check.
Members of the Noble committee are not meticulous about their meals and prefer traditional Swedish menu for $50.
Well, I feel kinda puzzled. There are three types of herring topped with different sauces. A little bit of cheese. A pinch of potatoes and absolutely no bread.
How do you eat this?
Do I just dump it on the plate and mix it up? Do I eat it one by one? In what order though?
Too bad I do not know much about restaurants. I cannot even begin to describe this. You have to try this yourself.
Definitely tastes well.
Director: What does it remind you of? It has to taste like something! What is it?
Cameraman: The greens? The spinach? Mint? Is it sour or sweet?
Evsei: No.
Cameraman: Hot?
Evsei: It tastes like… what is it?
Pesto! I think it reminds me of pesto.
Director: You see? It is basil.
Evsei: I have no idea what the green sauce is.
It tastes like pesto! This has to be my favorite of the three! It is not as salty and I love pesto!
What a shocker! Evsei has tried herring!
Swede consider it a traditional dish that anyone can afford.
There are plenty of kiosks that sell cheap fried herring around Stockholm.
You get three pieces of herring, mashed potatoes, pickles and cabbage salad for just eight dollars!
Sitting right next to pigeon poop. Just the way I like it.
Smells very tempting.
While we say that bread is everything, Swede say that herring is.
Terrific! People even fish for it in the city canals.
Time for the main course – cream potatoes with traditional Swedish meatballs.
We know them as croquettes and mashed potatoes.
Tastes very well.
It is soft, rich with flavor and has spices that I do not know of, but they taste great.
Director: Why do you keep switching hands?
Evsei: I cut, then I eat and it works! When I have to scoop, I do this. Why are you laughing?
Director: Because it looks disgusting! Try to scoop with your left hand.
At least give it a try.
Evsei: This is so clumsy. Perhaps if raise my elbow to the sky.
Director: Why do you have to raise your elbow?
Evsei: How else can I do it?
Director: You have to keep your elbows to yourself.
Evsei: Do I need to bend my wrists and keep my elbows tucked? I look like a T-Rex! Voila!
Director: Can you pick up a knife with your right hand?
Can I leave now?
I am so sorry!
I promise I will learn! This is like swimming. It will come with age.
These mashed potatoes rock! Like and repost! Rarely do I get the joy of eating good mashed potatoes.
I am not an expert in spending just yet, but I came up with an idea on how to spend 830 euros.
Stockholm is one of the few cities in the world that allows hot air balloons to fly above the city.
A wealthy tourist can have a Karlsson experience here! You can check out the rooftops and church spires from above and peek inside the top floor windows.
This giant is about to get airborne with three people inside!
How does it work?
Physics!
That was the last frontier. I think we are flying.
We are ascending so fast! I did not expect it to be so fast!
I wanted to fly above Stockholm and see the roofs, spires and churches, but there seems to be something wrong with the wind, because we are straying away.
Here is where a gold card cannot help you. Gone with the wind.
I have no regrets, because this is my first balloon ride ever, so it cannot be bad!
This is so gorgeous!
It's cool to ride balloon inside the basket, but this way is much more cooler!
Stockholm continues to amaze. Anyone can influence how the city looks. Even an out-of-towner.
Let us play the game called The Host Almighty! There is a nice colorful tower here and an app on my phone that allows you to change the colors of those windows.
The app is free. You can change the three main colors, mix them and then choose which window to paint.
Let me make the two top windows red.
Is it red? Yes it is!
I will make the two in the middle turn green.
Oops! My bad. I did the two on top again. I did what I wanted.
Now they are green! Isn't it fun? I am just standing here controlling a giant tower with my phone.
What a technology!
What the…
I do not get it. How do you shut the lights off in this room?
Don't turn on. Could it be here?
Swede are mocking me. Okay. I'll just sleep with the lights on.
Nastya: Good morning.
Every Stockholm travel guide recommends vising Skansen open-air museum. Skansen is an unusual museum.
The exhibits here are the hundred-year-old houses, old shops and brick roads. Swede began preserving this for future generations at the end of 19th century.
Imagine that. They built a small copy of Sweden on a specially allocated part of the island.
They began bringing churches, houses, retail shacks, glassblower shops, old carriages, gas stations, barrels and scoops.
The smell of the centuries. It smells like an old country house here. An ancient home. Nice!
Hello.
My darling. Look, they even wear clothes from the old ages. She's walking around like I'm good. This is how we live.
They paid so much attention to detail by delivering plants from the northern Sweden to plant in the northern part of the park!
They did a terrific job – you can now cross entire Sweden on foot in a single day!
While Nastya was walking in the park, I continued my search for lavish entertainment and I found it.
Oh yeah! Behold the Grona Lund theme park! This is the most expensive amusement park in Sweden!
You have to pay 120 kroner just to set a foot there even if you are not going on any rides.
I want to go wild, so I will buy the most expensive ticket for 600 kroner.
Sixty-six dollars gets you an unlimited pass for all rides and even a nine-dollar stamp for food court.
I was eight the last time I went to an amusement park. I don't have the fear of heights, so I should be fine. I do not know why they are screaming so loudly.
I guess I will find out soon. Let us start off with something simple. A roller coaster?
There is a cracking noise. It is not as scary as I thought.
That is so fast!
Are you sure that we started with the easiest one?
There is not a single person in line for that ride. They called it "Insane". Let us hope I make it outside.
Insane means crazy. I think the name is extremely fitting for that ride.
The passenger's seat spins in multiple directions using a wild trajectory!
I just set down and realized that I am not at all excited.
Was that normal?
I now know why they called it "Insane"!
The next ride is "Icarus".
The idea is simple – they lift you 80 meters up in the air. That equals the height of a 25-story building.
Why did it flip? Stop! What do you mean? Is this how it should be? No!
Well, son of a b***h!
Too fast.
A part of the park dedicated to northern Sweden is a must-see. There you can find a fairytale hut on chicken's legs.
Here it is indeed! I'll be damned!
There is a theory that this hut is in fact a coffin.
People in the past would put the crypts on the poles with the entrance facing away from the village.
That is why the hut would have to turn its back to the forest in the fairytale.
Swede have a theory of their own.
All jokes aside, this used to be a barn where they kept the grain and other provision away from the reach of rodents.
People all over the world appreciated what the Swede did with Skansen and open-air museums began popping up in practically every country.
Although, a $21 entrance fee really hurts.
Should you find yourself in Stockholm with nothing to do on a Sunday afternoon at 1PM
you could check out the changing of the guard. We have already seen dozens of them, but this one is unique.
Here is a lifehack tip – you could watch the changing of the guard near the palace, but this is where the entire crowd gathers.
I cannot see anything from here.
On the other hand, you could follow their route and enjoy it without a mass of people around you.
They are so handsome!
This is unique. I am very impressed with these guys. It must be hard to ride a horse while playing a trumpet.
They do it without missing a beat! They also look amazing and brand-new!
When you follow the route of the guard, you can see them at an arm's reach. Although, be prepared for a workout while trying to keep up.
I ran out of the expensive entertainment in Stockholm, but I have an idea. I decided to test an expensive gadget that is popular in Sweden.
Allow me to introduce Hovding – a super innovative system designed to protect bicyclists.
It looks like a collar and has a sensor – Hovding opens up in case you are falling and creates an airbag helmet around your head.
Friends, never, under any circumstances attempt what I am about to do, because it is dangerous. For your sake and mine.
Anton and I traveled with this backpack for a year and a half. No matter what trials we went through, the bag remained intact
This is what happened after Enisei waked around with it in the last city!
What is it gonna be next Enisei? Ha?
All right, let's test it out.
Ugh! Crap!
I'll be damned! How do you take this thing off? It will strangle me!
First, this really hurts.
Second, I have no clue why the hell it went off.
I was just riding a bike.
Third, can someone please get this thing off me?
How do I look? Why are you all laughing?
I paid 300 euros for a hit to the head. That is it! I wanted to fall.
Well, not to fall, but to see if this thing would protect me.
It just went off unexpectedly! I was not exactly riding on a flat surface, but still.
Here is why I am so beyond myself – this thing does not fold back in.
It has a single use. I just spent 300 euros, cycled for five minutes without falling and it then it popped. End of story.
I am down to approximately five dollars after a day and a half here.
I would be disparate in any other city, but in Stockholm, the money is literally lying at your feet!
Voila! What do we have here?
I saw the money and I walked right to it.
I'll just take one here.
What did you expect? They give you one krona for each bottle. That is more than three hryvna!
Those were my bottles.
She took them all.
Another one in my piggybank. Those gypsies are quick with it when it comes to bottles!
Swede even have a sport they called plogging. It centers on collecting recyclable trash while you are jogging,
so I am not bumming around. I am exercising.
Let me tell you about another way to have fun if you are rich in Stockholm.
You will never believe how I just spent $325.
Bring it in.
This is a chunk of ice! I am going to chisel it!
You can purchase a chunk of ice and make an ice sculpture.
You need to think of a shape when you begin working with ice. I have no idea how it will come out.
I cannot draw any blueprints here, so let me tackle it head on.
Jeez!
This is so stupid!
My tools are out of control. They stick to ice and the saw keeps slipping. Shaping this parallelepiped into anything seems unreal to me.
I have had it with the saw. Let me reserve to something more extreme.
Are you for real? Could I do that?
Turned out kinda nice.
I think I am beginning to see the silhouette.
You might have already guessed whom am I trying to sculpt.
Just a few finishing touches with a saw.
My catch is not too shabby. I have two plastic bags full of bottles. Just gotta recycle them.
They have a special machine for that in the supermarket.
These vending machines are awesome. They recycle plastic and make a person one krona richer.
Let us do this!
This helps your wallet and it helps the environment.
You can also send your proceeds to the children in need via charity foundation.
I will use my money to get a bite to eat.
The machine gives you checks that you can cash at the register or pay for your groceries.
I got a local bread, caviar and Surstromming. I do not know what it is, but the producers insisted that I try it.
I will sculpt a fish most likely. Let me add some flippers and an eye so we can have Sweden's emblem.
This has to be the most useless way to waste money in Stockholm.
You need acquired skills for that task and you can never take your sculpture with you.
Go ahead goldfish.
Here are my $325 swimming down the river.
Many viewers ask about what is in the backpack of a Heads and Tails host. Here we have some bread
and a bloated can of Surstromming.
It looks visibly larger than when we bought them. I hope it does not explode.
Some caviar in a form of paste.
The boy on the tube eats it and looks happy.
I do not carry a can opener, but my cameraman Sanya passed me the knife.
F**k!
Are you f****g with me? Nasty! I will not eat that! This can smells like the animal waste from an entire planet.
The smell alone can kill me. Nod your head all you want Dimas. I am not eating this.
ll the scientists can postpone their nuclear rocket launches and such.
It is as if cats have died in their own shit.
Just get yourselves some Surstommings in Sweden.
No way am I eating this.
All you have to do to annihilate all life in a million-yard radius is open up this can.
I am not putting this in my mouth.
I would rather eat ram's penis for Anton instead of this fish.
Go to hell!
Disguising, salty and hot shit that left an aftertaste like a herd of sheep went in my mouth.
What is supposed to be a tasty delicacy? This is beyond me honestly.
You open it up and the smell hits you, then you hold your breath and bite a piece of that stench fish.
A disgusting product anyway you look at it.
Nasty smell and a foul taste that explodes in your mouth. There is nowhere to hide form it.
It's the vilest thing that I ever ate.
It fills all of your skull's crevasses entirely. No larvae or a bull's head can hang with this.
A duty of a host calls. I have to tell you about Surstromming. It came by accident. Sailors would take slated fish as their provision.
Once upon a time they did not put enough salt and the fish began to brew, so they had to eat what they had. Then it became a local delicacy.
What do we have for a sunset? Some clouds.
Stockholm is a true test for a tourist on a tight budget
I will sip some of the healing water.
The mere $100 can barely pay for your transportation, accommodation and meals.
Nasty smell and a foul taste that explodes in your mouth.
You would be lucky if you can squeeze in one tour. Moreover, you will even have to beg
The problem is that you cannot really go all out with a gold card here!
Well, it is kinda small.
This is a chunk of ice!
Swede do not have extravagantly expensive entertainment because of their lagom philosophy.
This is so stupid!
You will have to come up with them myself.
Why are you laughing?
I keep expecting Karlsson to fly out from around the corner.
How do you eat this?
Terrific!
To fast!
Nastya: Enisei!
Evsei: Hello there!
Nastya: I forgot that your name is Evsei. Give me the gold card back.
Evsei: As usual. Here you are. Not so fast!
Nastya: What the hell?
Evsei: No deal. I get it now.
Nastya: I see you wanna give off a mature vibe.
Evsei: Well, yeah.
Nastya: Listen Evsei, you will like this. They have a delicacy here that is the bomb. Epic stuff. I will tell you where to buy some.
Evsei: Sure thing. Can we arrange it together? My treat.
Nastya: Hold your horses. I have already had enough. Dear friends, we will see you in the next city.
You go to the store, right?
Evsei: Right.
Nastya: You get the can that says Surstromming on the lid. I will write it down for you.
