He said it himself: He knows nothing. Let him learn. He's clearly made up his mind. Six months can be a long, long time.

The flat is in Toivola.

??? you got a post number...

[jahasjahas]

There's a Toivola school for kids with learning difficulties in Pakila, Helsinki. Is that where you're moving?

[interleukin]

There's something called Toivola next to Ring I, at 00680.

Yeah, that's the school. It's strange that some maps (like Google Maps and Reittiopas) claim that the neighborhood is called "Toivola", when there's no such place officially. Even the school's website says that it's situated in Itä-Pakila, not Toivola.

Anyway, that's still Helsinki, not Vantaa.

Well, its next to the Vantaa river

Jesus...

You make Helsinki sound like another planet.

There are no 'dangerous' places anywhere in Finland LOL.

And you come from Australia.... THERE are dangerous places.... Especially in areas of Sydney.... Places taxis and pizza guys won't go into after dark.... There is not a single place in Finland like that.

There are some worse off areas, but they aren't any more dangerous than a snobby rich area.

Sorry, your post just made me laugh my arse off.
