hank, the romanians and bulgarians begging in finland, is actually the mafia which is in the entire europe.finish mafia is involved into it too.it is happening in all the countries in europe.And if there is somebody who decides to beg in finland instead of living in romania where you think that is so cheap to live, than this person has nothing in romania and preferes to beg in other countries instead.begging is legal änyway so don¨t think too much about it .
you said ¨BTW the most asylum seekers in Finland were from Bulgaria you should really do something ¨can u explain what is so funny about that ?

you speak about the reality of life in finland, considering what you wrote, you know nothing about reality of life.it looks like the romanian and bulgarian who posted here are not too experienced with life reality either.
You can find a job in finland, even if you can¨t speak finish as you wrote using CAPS .are you afraid that thousands of workers will come to finland ? that is not going to happen.Everything you wrote about getting a job seems to have a purpose : keeping people who need a job away from finland.I suppose a lot of ppl are working illegal in finland already, and maybe they are not bulgarians or romanians.your country needs workers that¨s why the market is totally opened.in 2004 did thousands came to finland ? i guess not.`

` Everyone always coming to Hank with problems. Great responsibilities. But Hank does not mind. Hank trained in crisis management. `
Don¨t mind than !

[Meri-Tuuli]

finish mafia

What mafia? I've never heard anything about Finnish mafia! I was thinking about this the other day actually, what would a Finnish mafia guy look like?

You can find a job in finland, even if you can¨t speak finish as you wrote using CAPS .

Can you? When was the last time you looked for a job in Finland not speaking Finnish??

keeping people who need a job away from finland.

Well yes, but there are plenty of people here in Finland already who need jobs!

I suppose a lot of ppl are working illegal in finland already,

Hmm, I'm not too sure on this one, are you? I was under the impression that the authorities are very strict and that Finnish employers are very law abinding.

your country needs workers that¨s why the market is totally opened.

Well, I'm not exactly sure about the precise statistics of the Finnish labour market, are you? How do you know Finland has a need for any kind of labour?

in 2004 did thousands came to finland ? i guess not.`

They all went to the UK.....or then they realised that the language barrier is too great....

[Meri-Tuuli]

hank, the romanians and bulgarians begging in finland, is actually the mafia which is in the entire europe.

Actually why would mafia beg? I was under the impression that mafia types were more into extortion, stealing, dealing drugs etc etc etc rather than simple begging. Of course, this is a complete and utter media stereotype, I have actually no idea what real mafia men do.

And another thing, Hank does say 'do not come to Finland' he says 'do not come to Finland without planning'

Its in the title: FOR ROMANIANS AND BULGARIANS - DO NOT COME WITHOUT PLANNING

He is merely trying to forewarn you that the streets are not paved with gold here in Finland (or anywhere else for that matter!)

[Hank W.]

are you afraid that thousands of workers will come to finland ? that is not going to happen.Everything you wrote about getting a job seems to have a purpose : keeping people who need a job away from finland

No, its keeping beggars out of Finland. See now there are not beggars in Finland. The few people that try find out soon that there is no sympathy. We do not have a culture of beggars in Finland and we do not want to import any. You can keep them in Romania. I laugh at Bulgaria as they are now an EU country - why are they seeking asylum?

The reason is there are no jobs in Finland. Do you not read the news - the factories are closing all the time. If the person needs a job they need to find a job. There is no need for idiots to come swarming here before they have a job, as they end up frozen on the street in -27C. There is 100 jobs for a metal worker. Why does the Romanian metal worker with long experience not get one interview? No speak Finnish = no Job. So there is not a job for him. There is a job for someone who can speak Finnish, maybe an Estonian. Fact of life.

And it is my tax money that is paying for all this.

[Hank W.]

They all went to the UK.....or then they realised that the language barrier is too great....

Actually 'my' Romanians are adamant in not going to the UK, as the Romanians got some bad press before joining the EU (and theres the labour restrictions). Oh well, seems a cleaning job is available (for a marine industry technician), so there is light in the tunnel, but how does one think the guys in Turku fare?

[ashish]

Obviously, I am not experienced enough and I have no idea about life in Romania or Finland...

I'm glad corneliu knows all about it - the beggars, the mafia, the language....

Well... this is exactly the attitude that we were hoping you wouldn't have if you decide to move here. It didn't help you, but it might help others. Maybe Bulgarians.

"Romanu' tot ca romanu'..."

[Hank W.]

Actually why would mafia beg?

Oh its a big business in certain areas, begging, as it is profitable.

[EP]

begging is legal änyway so don¨t think too much about it .

Actually, I think it is illegal in Finland. But I am not 100% sure.

And I have never heard of Finnish mafia, if there is one, they sure keep it well hidden.

I was under the impression that begging is illegal here; like drunks... if the Police see them, they remove them. I was talking to the wife of a Norwegian guy who said that begging is legal in Norway and nowadays bus-loads of eastern European beggars turn up in Oslo in the summer.

I can't believe Hank's saying there are no beggars in Finland, there certainly are in Helsinki.

Never waited at a tram stop on Aleksanterinkatu? I don't often, but 3-4 times I've been asked for money... drunk Finns or scruffy looking eastern European kids. It's not common, but it happens.

Meri... organised crime... the crims have some hold over the person... "find me €100 today or you don't get your drugs"... they go out and beg and find the €100.

No Finnish mafia? You don't need one, you've got the Russians to do the job for you.

I can come bum a fag off you - does that make me a beggar? They're not beggars, they are people who beg. A person in Finland will be shown acommodation and means to survive, it is not like people would be left on their own.... well Karpo might have a few examples.

Semantics, and incorrect at that. Nobody has ever tried to bum a fag off me, I can now remember offhand 4 that have tried to bum money...

first was a drunk South African tramp, second a drunk Finnish woman directly outside Stockmann who looked and smelled like a tramp.

Another that sticks in the mind was a little eastern European looking kid who came to the tram stop near Alexi 13, showed a 1€ coin and then stuck out his hand. He didn't say a word, just looked very sad. I shook my head as I know in Finland there is no need to beg in Finland... Kela will provide. So the kid trotted over to try people on the opposite side of the road.

Fourth was a drunk Finn in Pori, only that last one looked like an amateur.

There have been a couple of others in Hki, I'm sure.

There are professional beggars here, thinking about it, I have only seen it in Summer, but they exist. Irrespective of if they are bums / tramps or whatever, if they ask for money, they are beggars.

[Hank W.]

One that sticks in the mind was a little eastern European looking kid who came to the tram stop, showed a 1€ coin and then stuck out his hand.

Well you should have taken the euro and said thank you. Thats what I'd do. Do you see now why the old ladies say "we do not need foreigners in Finland"? Do you now imagine someone wants to hire any east european-looking people? Do you imagine how hard it is to battle the prejudices some con-artists try to make a quick buck.

There are no beggars in Finland. Call the Väestörekisterikeskus and ask how many people are registered as kerjäläinen in the system? What you described was an example of a mafia human trafficking child labor victim who was asking for money. Maybe eventually they get the idea and go to Oslo if nobody gives them money.

[enk]

Now that the big bus station in Kamppi has gone underground, where is
the one scruffylooking woman-beggar who used to ask for money
and then swear at you or shove you around when you wouldn't give her
any? Best thing about the bus station was you could see her coming
and get out of her way.

She also used to hang around in Tapiola a lot and sometimes on Aleksi
downtown.
