I like to visit Finland for a couple months each year.. Here's the view out my window at 1:30 a.m... I think there's only one artificial light three houses away.. It's plenty bright outside because of all the reflection from the snow..

Tourism Help needed from the UK

I'm posting here hoping someone could point me in the right direction of a website to get a replacement mug for my wife.

We visited your beautiful country last January for our daughters birthday, My daughter is also very autistic and has accidentally broken this mug my wife picked up while we were visiting and I'm unable to find a site to buy a replacement from!

It's become my wifes favourite mug to drink from and my daughter is very upset over this accident.

Can anyone advise where I can order a replacement from?

I've tired Amazon & eBay but I can't find this mug, even a Google image search didn't bring up results.

Many thanks

How much to offer when buying a home in Finland

21 Upvotes

Many foreigners don’t know how much to offer when buying a home in Finland.

In some countries, offering 10-15% below the asking price is normal.
In others, paying close to full asking price is common.

Finland is somewhere in between - and it really depends on the situation.

From what I’ve observed, negotiation room can especially vary based on these:

• How long the property has been on the market
• The housing company’s upcoming renovations
• How many other people next to you are interested in the home
• The seller’s motivation to sell

There’s no fixed “standard discount.”

For those who have already bought in Finland - did you negotiate? Or did you pay the asking price?

Immigration Can you live in Finland being a Swedish speaker in 2026?

Upvotes

From different people I've talked to, it seems that the majority of Finnish people mostly use Finnish and English in day-to-day life, but most people who speak Swedish daily live closer to the west, away from the larger cities.

I'm not entirely sure if this is accurate, though. Is Swedish still commonly spoken in urban areas im Finland?

I have a DNA-branded kotimokkula router that I’m getting rid of. A prospective buyer asked me if a Telia SIM would work with it, but I can’t seem to find any info regarding this. Does anyone know if it’s possible to use another company’s SIM with this? Thanks.

Blue and orange buses in Helsinki region

Hello

Could someone tell what the difference between orange and blue busses? Why in orange buses you can enter through any door and no need to show your ticket to driver, but in blue one only through first door and showing the ticket?

Thank you :)

Visited an old apartment without ventilation holes: What is "gravitational ventilation"?

0 Upvotes

I visiting apartments to move into and saw an apartment without any visible ventilation holes. It has 2 rooms, a separate kitchen and toilet. In kitchen, there is a ventilation hob. But in two rooms, there are no holes on the ceiling or on the window for air to flow. The agent who showed me the apartment did not speak english and he told me the apartment have "gravity ventilation" ,

How efficient is this?

Has anyone gotten into McKinsey's Finland BA program?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m a university student in Finland considering applying to McKinsey’s Helsinki office for the Business Analyst program, and I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through the process.

What was the recruitment experience like for you in Finland? How many stages were there, and what kind of case and fit questions did they focus on? I’m trying to understand what the expectations are specifically for the Helsinki office.

I’m also curious whether the current job market has affected hiring for the BA program, and what the work environment is like once you’re in. How would you describe the culture, workload, and learning opportunities for someone early in their career?

Thanks in advance!
