Re: Where can I find a dental hygienist in Helsinki or Tapiola?

I've used Hammaspeikko (Tooth Fairy) on Hietaniemenkatu, found them to be very thorough and
friendly, and inexpensive - about €120 for full cleaning and whitening.

Re: Kitchen Joy - A Lament

Looks like I'll have to resort to desperate measures and order direct from the manufacturers, according to their website: We are a Narakjung Company. We have a origin place in Thailand that certificate of origin. We are selling food and drink. Actually We mostly sale chicken and about food if you wa...

Kitchen Joy - A Lament

What's the issue with those tasty morsels they have been dishing up in the frozen section of most supermarkets for the past year or so? They have served me well as my primary microwaveable staple during lunch-hour, but all of a sudden they have disappeared from every supermarket in Helsinki. The fro...

Re: Driving School

I was aware of the one in Hakaniemi but just wanted a heads-up on others anyone might recommend
before I go asking them about prices. I guess the €1300 euro range is the best I could possibly hope for?

Driving School

http://www.cybersalt.org/cl_images/1zzzzxa/s/southdrivingschool.jpg I've been through some of the websites for driving schools listed on http://www.autokoululiitto.fi but most of them seem to be quite shy about advertising their rates online. I'm looking for the cheapest rates possible in Helsinki ...

Hmm.. I suspect any stuff arriving through customs from China is checked extra vigorously, and I'd suppose anything labelled as 'gift' is immediately dumped onto the X-Ray conveyor belt. How about 'returned item' or 'replacement item' - do these usually warrant a visit to the post office with a fist...

Ebay question

Has anyone ever dealt with Chinese dealers, based in Hong Kong, using
eBay? Are they really as reliable as their feedback always seems to indicate,
and have many of you managed to get stuff (like camera equipment or similar)
through customs via these guys with little or no tax? Any horror stories?

Mallone's is it? I would hardly think those jolly green giant umbrellas pose much of a barrier to escaping smoke. I don't get the issue though, you have to clean the ashtrays after closing, and you cannot smoke in Mallone's terrace after 2am, so there can't be any residual smoke hanging around when ...

Bills bills bills! Well I inspected the bathroom when I got home, and suprisingly there was very little odour at all. I'm really not sure why, maybe nobody in the building's taken a dump today. Anyway I placed a leaf of toilet paper over the shower drainage cover to check for air, and sure enough th...
