Oh, and according to The Times, my home town is "Europe’s coolest city"
However, I'm pretty sure it's not pronounced like that as a native jyväskyläläinen. The word is pretty impossible to pronounce correctly especially for American people. Here you can hear the native pronounce it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SvngF6Cb7w
It's NOT "yervascular" 😂
Times quote: "By 2027 Jyvaskyla — pronounced “yervascular” — could be the hippest destination in Europe and you heard it here first. The regional capital of central Finland bears comparison to Vancouver: a university city with a rich cultural scene surrounded by astonishing natural beauty, with more than 3,700 lakes; four national parks, 5,700 moose and a staggering 140,000 saunas. Foraged food is popular here — book ahead for a table at Harmooni; the city is on Unesco’s world heritage tentative list for the modernist buildings of the Finnish architect Alvar Aalto, and the summer weather’s like it used to be: warm, with little chance of climatic cataclysm. July is the perfect month for messing about on the lakes, and Discover the World’s two-week Lakeland Cities and National Parks self-drive gets you there."
