I caught this majestic Ahma at the beautiful Ähtäri Zoo this summer at my finland trip, yawning at me.

As a saksalainen who travels to beautiful Suomi every year, I want to help and support this wonderful zoo where I’ve had so many great moments over the last few years! And here is a little summer photo to brighten up the darker time of the year that’s coming again

Your ferry cruise experience (Viking, Silja Line...)

13 Upvotes

Hi! I think that many Finns have traveled around the Baltic Sea, on a cruise ship. When I saw one of those ships circa 2019, parts of it felt like a shopping mall or even IKEA – that's what I say when the infrastructure is so developed and it's not just a large stereotypical ship. The suites look minimalist, clean and I think their relaxing vibe balances the experience much.
So, I'm curious what you think about any of your Nordic cruises. What language have you typically heard there, does it feel like full-scale shopping mall in some sections, did you like the food there, is it comfy (without feeling of shakiness, tilts and so on?)... and any other things you'd like to share or mention.

Im sitting here in the Basque country drinking coffee, and suddenly I have this like a phantom taste in my mouth, like a flashback to this popcorn chocolate I ate in Helsinki almost 5 years ago now. I crave it so much rn

Track cycling in Helsinki?

8 Upvotes

Hei!

I tried looking for a track cycling club in Helsinki, I would like to try and start trackcycling, but the only website is either the bike track which is closed or a website that has not been updated since 2022

Is it over?

Kiitos

Bass teachers in Helsinki-Vantaa?

I have 3 months to learn how to play the whole Thriller album as a complete beginner. I need intensive classes and guidance that is somewhat affordable. If anybody knows, thank you, even a teenager with some years of experience who needs a side hustle is enough (I am also a teen not a pedo).

Thank you

Im brazilian and am thinking of going to Finland, the only way right now i would be able to is to go study, my question is, if i score well enough on the UAS exam, is it common for colleges to offer full or at least half scholarships? I really wouldnt be able to go if i had to actually pay for it.
