If you do not want to understand, you wont understand. And if you can read a paper you can see what happens every weekend and week and why they want to raise the alcohol tax all the time, if you don,t want to see that who is misguided here

Mate it just not the fins who act like this its all of the countrys when there out on the piss...Fins are well behaved compared to a night out in newcastle or cardiff let me tell you...and where are you from may i ask?

You avoided my question, what country are you from?

It is funny to see how you finns or wannabee finns get so frustrated when a problem is braught up over your 'paradise'.
What does it matter where I come from, there are also several problems with alcohol and drugs but I am now living here and that gives me a right in a free country to say what I think and see (I pay my taxes). But when you are living a litle bit longer in a country you see a little bit through the nice plate as Pursuivant already said. Last week a boy a knife in his trothe from somebody who was drunk and did not know what he did (I hope), taxidriver with 5 prom. etc. I did not say that all the finns are drunk all day (certainly not). And that is the last word I said about it, if you want to blow it up be my guest.

Paradise i didnt see anyone call Finland a Paradise, but believe me its alot safer walking the streets here than it is in almost all of the capital citys in Europe if not the World..Yes your right there maybe be some problems with alcohol and drugs But where isnt there?????? There certainly is where you come from. I have also lived here long enought to see clearly through the glass plate and all the way out the window..After you have lived here for longer than 5 months you will maybe begin to see things a little different also..I also hope you learn Finnish as this may help you to adjust living in a new country it can be hard... 'oh and trothe is throat. If you would like some english lesson please ask..

Hello mate give this company a ring http://www.airporttaxi.fi/
its a good place to start learning Helsinki and they dont a flying @@@@ if you dont speak Finnish,
but its a bonus to you if you learn.
Money is not great but iv heard that after a year or so they can prove training to become a full Qualified taxi driver if that's what dreams you have good luck...

Thanks so much for this information. I've been studying Finnish for a year but I really need to get out and practice. Making money at the same time would be a great bonus. I'm aching for a job.
