Hi there,
Finally I was accepted as a trainee for 1.5 year period by Movial (AIESEC), and hoping to move to Finland soon by November. The AIESEC guys found a flat for me, actually just a room by HOAS. Can you give some info about those HOAS flats? It says Lintukorventie ESPOO?? Are they close to Helsinki Center? And after flat and taxing deducted I would get like 740 € per month. Would that be enough for a newcomer like me? I havent applied for a visa yet, I'm waiting for the invitation letter from CIMO to apply for visa here. Hoping to be there soon and meet with Finnish Culture. Google Earth is not enough

Thanks in advance for your replies everybody. Take care

Well, Espoo is a different city, but the train takes you to the center with a little sighing. (spanish trains, you know when you get there). 750 on the bank account is a lot more than I have left after payday

Cheers, Hank W.

My Husband used to live on that street in HOAS housing. He liked it there and it's located in Leppävaara where there is plenty of shopping, and it's not hard to go to Helsinki from there either.
Don't worry, it only feels kinky the first time....
