Because of three major wonderful things: wonderful people, wonderful climate and where else can one find such a wonderful depression?

Dude, Pierrot! Your quote's, like...awful...and yet downright ihana, as well.

I would never change my hair color. But I have always wanted a head full of good, thick black hair.

I've seen all of my reasons mentioned already, except for one ( I think.. I didn't read all the posts.. )

One of the main reasons i want to live in Finland is for the clean air. I have asthma and during the summer months that i live in toronto, is it completely out of control. I have to drink asthma tea, take my puffer, and take a daily dose of steroids - all this just to be able to walk the one block to my work, and STILL I have asthma attacks at least once a week. Year round, however, the polution in that city causes me to feel fatigued, I have chronic head ear nose and throat problems, throat and tonsil ulcers, and my voice always sounds raspy.

Here (living in a major city no less!) my voice is clear, i have energy and i feel better than i can ever remember feeling my whole life. I never have to take any medication - not even my tea! SO, why move to finland? I CAN BREATHE

Yes, my natural blonde self said the same thing. Then i moved to Helsinki, and got myself a head full of good, thick black hair. (kept a shock of blonde at the front though)

>> dude i love To Finland winter is not problem i love winter too but think in winter get money and summer travel where u want ha ?? <<

Yes, why not, if you have a job. It is very difficult to get a job in Finland if you can not speak the language. Turkish grammar - so I have been told - is wonderful : very clever and very logical. Unfortunately I can not say the same about Finnish grammar.

Some foreigners are very unhappy in Finland for various reasons. Check out this discussion ! :

It all depends on your profession, if its in the medical field they are definitely hiring. Last week when I was in the Hospital visiting someone I was amazed at how many Foreign doctors they had listed.

I think networking is the key to finding a job here in Finland, any job.
Its not what you know its who you know that counts. Of course language helps but name a country where it doesn't matter. Communication is always a fundamental factor in any sustainable business.

Government rarely does something for you unless it does something to you

Yes, networking...I think that would work, too, as you said.

Yeah, for real. Most Finnish guys I've seen have been F-I-N-E.

Hey, Virginija! You've got the same name as two of my aunts! Rock on!
