Thank you for that

it means alot.
The Suomi-schools are the courses that I was on about there is one in Manchester and one in Leeds also, they are both to far for me to travel too, Both taking a good 2 hours or so to get to.

In any case to be able to speak Finnish well you should spend more time here, so why not move here?

Unfortunatly I can not afford to just move over there, I need to know that I have money coming in. I have no means to support myself otherwise.

Another possibility is to come here and find a partner who will help you to pay your bills before you will find a job.

One can live in hope I guess

One can live, yes.

And one can help another live. Or even several people. That's what I like so much about this Forum, here. It's because when each of us who are wanting to finally do get to move for good to Finland, we can each find one another, somehow, and trade both experiences and extra knowled--thus, helping each other survive in the Finnish world, as friends.

It's like freakin' Lord of the Rings, yo!

All Hail to Pikku Myy! Who everyone says I look exactly like...!

It seems alot calmer place to live. When we have been there we have been treated well, and have always been greated with a smile. There does not seem to be as much ignorance as in the UK. You dont get singled out because you dress a certain way or like a certain type of music. Everyone has something to say to you and I have never found it critical. It may seem very superficial of me but when I am there I feel 'at home'.

Whilst I don't agree with all of the above e.g. the ignorance bit (there is ignorance everywhere) I can think of worse reasons to want to live in a foreign country... e.g. Gary Glitter's reason for moving to Vietnam.

Why'd you pick Finland ? .... you will find a similar mindset in the other Nordic countries, & Sweden is a lot more cosmopolitan & far easier for an English speaker to learn the lingo.

Halifax to Leeds, two hours? Garlic Bread?!

Halifax to where the course is in Leeds is a good 2 hours when you have to travel by public transport at rush hour.

Halifax to leeds is only about 15 mile, you could cycle it in two hours. If you can't make a 15 mile journey to Leeds, then you ain't got a snowball's chance of getting yourself over here.

BTW I know Leeds is fairly big, but the train can't be much more than 30/40 minutes from Leeds to Halifax? Get the train and take a taxi the rest of the way. Can't you bum a lift off any of your mates?

Finland forum = probably not the best place for travel advice in W. Yorks.

Wow, someone back there actually wanted to move to Vietnam? Why? Would they even allow an American citizen to move there and make a living...without, like, having them secretley murdered in the process, or something?

I love Sweden, I really do. I've been there once, and I was able to stay there for the entire day, because I took a ferry there, from Helsinki.

It's an absolutley beautiful place, with beautiful but slightly weird people living all over there, and I love the language. I definitley plan on studying Swedish, as well as more Finnish, in the future. It's kind of a funny language, all sing-song, like. I really would like to visit Stockholm, at least, again sometime soon, if I ever can get around to it.

Hank you are killing me..

Feelgood grouphug puss-puss schlager songs (last attack on Finnish sanity: "Älskar du liiiiveeet" by Björn Kjellman...) I am shocked.

God hates Sweden. That should tell you something. http://www.godhatessweden.com/

muahhahhahah

From siteabove:

WARNING!!!

To God's Elect: Leave Sweden NOW!!!

"And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, come out of her my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues." Rev. 18:4

Fags have a 3 point agenda: 1) decriminalize sodomy, 2) add fags to the protected classes as victims like blacks, and 3) criminalize Gospel preaching against fags. Sweden's doom is now irreversible!
