The unusual but tragic shooting at a school in Finland earlier this week got us musing about life in the land of Nokia and Angry Birds.
Moving to Nokia town. AU student Carmen Boudreau-Kiviaho describes life after moving from Canada to Finland. “Although she finds the weather comparable to Ontario’s, Carmen notes that the Baltic Sea has a moderating influence on the winters. This means a lot of rain along the coast in the winter, and far less snow than one might expect.” AU Profiles – Carmen Boudreau-Kiviaho, May 23, 2008.
