Winter in Finland, again...

By Luis Herrera, 12/9/20
Many years back, I arrived in Helsinki's international airport in the middle of December. The shock was quite powerful. Along the previous 24 hours, I had moved from a torrid plus 30 (in the planet's Southern Hemisphere) to a freezing minus 20 degrees (in this country, that was to become my future home). Admittedly, absurdly low temperatures —...

Equal Crossings

By Geoffrey Noterman, 11/22/20
Why do towns in Finland have this anomaly whereby a meeting of two roads.. a crossing is deemed equal and you yield to any traffic comming from the right, even though you are driving along the main thoroughfare.

Why do we have to pay so much money to bring our family cars to Finland?

By Pedro Gracia, 12/1/18
I am a Spanish national married to a Finnish woman. One year ago we decided to move to Finland permanently. And some time after we brought our family car, which was almost one and a half years old. Our surprise came when, at the time of legalising the vehicle before the Finnish traffic authorities, we received an invoice of almost 1,900 euros in...

Give us more opportunities to be part of this society
