Dear new NRIs, please be more mindful.

Dear new NRIs, when you move to a new country, please be mindful of your new home, even if your move is only temporary. Observe the social rules and be respectful. Because people will ask for examples, here is one very common one (applicable in some countries, not all ofc) - if you feel the urgent need to make a phone call back home to show signs of life, on video, in public, pls just use technology -> earphones/headphones are available everywhere and not rocket science anymore. Step out if you are in a restaurant/closed public space and take your call or just regulate your volume. Manage yourself and stop giving us all a bad name ("civic sense" is not limited to not littering), thank you :).

That's all. Rant over, request formulated.

P.s. this has nothing to do with white-washing or whatever it is called. Adaptation and respect are basic things and if you cant do these, just dont move and stay happy in your own well.

The upside to this heat!

Perfect weather to do laundry, especially big stuff like curtains, pillows and bedsheets. Clothes be drying at the speed of light 🥲.

That's it. That is my silver lining. What is yours?

Social acceptance and awareness of disabilities in Finland

I made an appreciation post a few weeks ago after having visited Finland as a tourist for the very first time. The kindness and calmness of the people has really stuck with me and I have been introspecting and thinking about a lot of things since then 😅.

I am curious - how does the Finnish society perceive disabilities (visible or not)? Is the society more accepting and supportive or is it more like hush hush/not talked about because of taboo (would be unexpected😅). Where I currently live, both systems (welfare, accessibility, etc) as well as social acceptance and inclusion of disabled people is unfortunately quite low. How is it in Finland?

Thank you for sharing 😊.

Handy Reparatur Laden in Hamburg Mitte/Eimsbüttel?

Hey people,

meine Mutter ist bei mir zum Besuch. Ihr Handy Bildschirm ist heute leider kaputt gegangen 🫠. Wo kann man in Hamburg Mitte/Eimsbüttel einen guten zuverlässigen Handy Reparatur Laden finden? Sie fliegt in 2 Wochen wieder zurück, also muss auch schnell sein 😭.

Vielen Dank im Voraus🥲

Thank you for a wonderful long weekend, Finland!

We visited Finland for the very first time over a long weekend and it pretty much healed something in us. The air so clean, the water so pure (best I have ever had!), the nature so beautiful, the people so kind!! We were visting a friend who moved there 2 years ago from Germany. Finally understood what she meant when she said Finland healed her nerves, lol. Only noticed how anxious Germany has made us once we reached Finland and accidentally stepped on the bike lane, panicked, jumped out and were surprised (and relieved) that nobody screamed their lungs out at us 🥲.

We only stayed in Helsinki and around this time. But we will come back next summer and explore some hiking routes and more nature 😍!

Kiitos, Finland and the wonderful people of Finland, for this beautiful experience 🥲.

Women from your country who inspire you and why?

Can be famous, can be not. Doesn't have to be from 5000 years ago, can be modern too. Question is self explanatory :).

Hey guys,

Wondering if there are any independent qualified journalists from your country who you follow to stay up to date with the news. I am more and more disillusioned by media houses 😅.
