Hi everyone,

I am looking for books from, or about Finland for our Read the World challenge over at r/bookclub. The book can be any length, and genre, but it must be set or partially set in Finland. Preferably the author should be from Finland, or at least currently residing in Finland or has been a resident of Finland in the past. I'm looking for the "if someone could only ever read one book from Finland which book should it be" type suggestions.

The book should be available in English

Thanks so much

Two of the doors in our apartment sagged I think and it's now a bit harder to close properly. I tried adjusting the springs from top and bottom. It's slightly better now but still door doesn't close easily. I couldn't figure out exactly how each spring impacts the door alignment and thought to myself I should ask this question online. I'm pretty sure that someone on the internets knows this.

Hi everyone,

​I’m curious about the contrast between outdoor harsh winters and indoor home comfort across different countries.

​Where I live, indoor heating isn't very strong, and during the coldest months (December, January, and February), my room stays around 10–15°C (50–59°F) all day and night. It made me wonder how people in colder climates experience winter indoors.

​I’d love to know:

​What is the average temperature inside your home/apartment during winter (Dec–Feb)? ​Is high indoor heating (like central heating) considered standard, or do you actively keep temperatures lower to save energy? ​Do you usually wear heavy winter clothes indoors, or is it warm enough to wear a basic t-shirt?

Behm became one of my favorite singers from Finland. It's rare for me to like every song in an album, but Merkittävät erot has such a great list of songs that in addition to having it saved on Spotify, I got the CD shipped from Finland to where I live in the US. As an artist I liked working on her distinct eyebrows and wavy hair. (I'm probably her only Vietnamese-American fan in the world, but that's ok hehe)

hello! I am from central europe and im in finland for longer time. i am used to there beinh a self picking time in autumn for apples, u come u pick and u pay. i tried to search for similar in finland but only found one orchard which was public and not really taken care of. im search for more like a private farmer who opens self picking every year, does something like that exist here?

I am a student at the moment and receive opintotuki from KELA and this year I also received parental allowance (vanhempäinraha). I have only one income related tax card which has a ceiling of 15k for the year.

I got my first job starting this month and am looking for advice.
Since my salary for the next 4 months of this year will not exceed the ceiling, should I just continue with just one tax card or make another tax card just for the KELA benefits? If I add the benefits and salary it will go way above the ceiling.

I contacted the tax office and they said they are not allowed to make recommendations( i realised its a silly question after I asked it). They did say that KELA levies its own taxes on benefits and if I choose to make 2 cards, they will dependent on each other.

Any ideas or comments?

This policeman filed a false report against me saying that I used my child as a human shield. The ombudsman didn't mention that at all and refused to investigate. My police report about the incident happened to disappear. Possibly gave false names and id numbers. I had my child taken by child services and then returned custody upon investigation. I lost my summer with my child.no investigation, justice. I'm scared to go to station and veridy the cops Identity and fear attacks. In another event they refused file assault charges on someone who attacked me and allowed them to leave the scene. These are just a few injustices as I have heard many from acquaintances over recent years. Finland is not as it seems on the surface. It has changed drastically with fear of foreigners and racism. It's sad cause I love rhis country and respected deeply it's institutions such as the police force

Finnish government is promoting the country in order to attract skilled workers mainly from Brazil, Vietnam and India.

I attended to their event in São Paulo and would like to know how's the job market?

Are immigrants welcome?

How much does one person need to earn to support a couple comfortably?

American moved to Oulu recently, any other American in oulu?

I intend to integrate, just want to meet other americans as well and ask about their experiences in finland and how they integrated. Please understand everyone

Just moved to Rauma recently and am looking to connect with some people here.
I don't really know anyone yet and am hoping to find some regular folks to play padel with.

If anyone is looking for an extra player to fill out a court, needs a substitute, or just wants to set up a casual match, let me know. I'm totally down to jump into an existing group or start a new game.
Drop a comment or shoot me a DM if you're up for hitting some balls!

Ilmari Juutilainen was the top flying ace of the Finnish Air Force, he had 94 confirmed aerial combat victories. He achieved 58 of his victories while flying a Messerschmitt Bf 109G and 34 with a Brewster Buffalo. He achieved a total of 94 aerial victories during the wars and, in comparisons of WW2 pilot victories, he is only non-German pilot who had the most aerial victories.

Hey everyone, expat living here. I was walking home from work today on the sidewalk near Leppävaara when I heard this weird, deep electric humming sound behind me. The bikes look similar to the one in this photo (a photo from the internet)

Before I could even react, two teenagers flew past me at what had to be easily above 50kmh. One of them was literally doing a wheelie on the back tire right as he passed me. If I had stepped an inch to the left, he would have crashed straight into my back.

The bikes looked like normal mountain bikes at first glance, but they had these massive, flat metal disc motors in the rear wheel and giant battery cases stuffed into the frame. There's no way these are legal. Surely this cant be safe!?!?!

I know Finland just updated the insurance laws for heavy e-scooters and e-bikes, but clearly, no one cares. Is anyone else aware about these types of bikes around here, or is the sidewalk just not safe anymore?

So, I just moved to Helsinki from Oulu as my girlfriend got a job here. I'm working remotely, but dang... The isolation is real.

Does anyone know where I could get to meet new people?

Or if anyone here is willing to show me around the city, feel free to send a message 🎈

(Btw, I'm from Mexico, not Oulu, or I guess both haha)

I’ve been living in finland, helsinki region, for about 4 years now but I rarely ever come across independent small, corner/convenience stores. All small stores are either Cittarit or Alepas. In my remark I exclude ethnic stores. I am mainly talking about small convenience stores in neighborhoods where the average finnish person shops for quick small price items at convenience.

Does the legislation prohibit opening of such stores and how did it come that all these small stores are exclusively run by 2 giant conglomerates?

And was it like this for ever or the change came thru gradually at some point.

Mummo threw together some silli & makkara. I’m never eating makkara again bruh 😭 I ate WAY too much XD

After years of the Finnish cruelly gatekeeping the delicious food of näkkileipä (they’re the thin crispy ones) from the rest of the world, and in spite of your attempts, I have discovered them. They’re excellent. Now, as penance, I politely request that you share your best combinations for me to try as I have found an immense liking for them and would like some variety in the next 500 I eat.

Thanks in advance. 😊
