interesting info

Hello our followers! how are you doing? As in the last dais we are not having any task or anything to do, we have started to develop our personal projects and the common one.

As we don't have much relevant things to tell I just going to mention some contrasting or at least different thing that we have find in here comparing to the Basque country, that might be interesting for the people visiting finland.

-If you are in the bus stop and you see that you bus is coming even if it's the only bus that stops there, you should make a signal to stop, if not they will drive through.

-When you meet Finnish people it's not usual to give two kisses as we use to do, maybe can be better jut a shake of hands.

-If you see people eating at 6 it's not that they are having a late lunch they are having dinner, so be careful and check the closing hour of the restaurant you want to go for dinner.

-If you are planing to buy some alcohol you should know that is much more expensive that in the basque country, and at unless you want to buy beer or sider you are not going to find it in a super market, you have to go to acohol shops called Alko and make sure you are over 20 to buy drinks over 20 degrees.

-At the time of shoping make sure that you take the bags you need from home, if not you have to pay for them every time.

-When you buy botles or tins you are paying an extra suplement for the recicling, so you should return it to the recicle machines if you don't want to loose the money.

-The finnish people use to eat a lot of ready cooked food, so you can buy them in the super markets (hot or cold)
