Finland Forum

It's been a year and half (exactly today!) since I left Finland, and a year and 5 months since I moved to Sweden so I think I can summarize a bit the topic. After 12 months in Finland, Sweden appears to be second Poland in the world... Immigrants call it a land of paradox, where really everything ca...

Hello, let me say extra thing here. I spent in Turku (or around) the whole year of 2005, working as a baby-sitter and housekeeper for one family (my story is somewhere here on the forum anyway). German skills were useless in Finland, English... well, sometimes didn't work either, unfortunatelly. I l...

well, I don't think it's so very beautiful, spent there a LOT of time last year, kinda... Russian such a funny Russian - Swedish mix, but... can't say I don't have any special warm feelings about the place
people are strange there, just so you know

but you know, I can understand finns who dont like to speak swedish with other people and the fact that foreigners, even in Swedish parts, should learn Finnish - just in respect to the country they are in! I'm Polish and I can imagine the situation if we had any other official language there, let's ...

have the same plans, but only in other country

oh, long time no see ;) well, it's different with Finns who are Finns after all and they speak only Swedish and it's different with a foreigner who comes and speaks Swedish - all you can hear then probably is "we're not @#$% swedes" so better bottom up and to Finnish classes if you want to...

needed to libraries, to video rental places...
just to be a person, not nobody, according to law
it's understandable for me that when you get to Finland you register and apply for it as well

Senni, I might be back in Finland in a year... I can sense I'll miss really too many things from here
and you can always visit me in Stockholm

awch... please, erase triple post to leave only one...
btw, how to delete posts on this forum???

finnish music is not just about HIM and The Rasmus, there are so many good bands in FIN-Amorphis, Apocalyptica, Children Of Bodom, Ajattara, Sentenced ( too bad they broke up), Charon and so many, many more... exactly actually, HIM and Rasmus don't have much common with the "Finnish music"...

Helsinki is the 23rd most expensive city in the World, according to a late study. I'm a student in Helsinki and spend approx 500e per month to live (with the rent of 193e). omg... that has to be sturving... :? I think I'd need at least 700 to lead the normal life (considering the fact I'd have to p...

a bit too far away from me, leaving from "mu airport" in Turku
and if buying, how much could a box be? (omg, in Poland you can get boxes for free in every supermarket )

I didn't know where to place this post and it's quite important things for me as I don't fancy paying extra money for over-weight luggage to Poland: I'm moving to Sweden but going to Poland on the way, and got the idea to post some of my things to my new place of living. The problem is to find a box...
