Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.

Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:

And here’s the Android version (finally live):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vota.app

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.

Those of you going to the Copenhagen match

Hello fellow Scandi friends,

Inter Turku will play Copenhagen on August 27 in football.

If anyone here is attending, I wanted to give them a heads up.

The venue Parken is normally great and easy to get to with public transport.

But on August 27 there will be a big company run in the park next to Parken and there will be a LOT of people going to and from Parken omn busses, trains etc.

https://dhlstafettenkbh.dk/praktisk-info/

There will be 30.000 people going to the DHL Run alone and Parken will be full too with 40.000 people. So it will be crazy and a lot of people on the streets. It´s safe, but just a lot of people, cars, bikes, busses etc.

So please be aware of this when you plan your jorney to the venue. It will be crazy.

If you want to ask anything about Copenhagen, the match or something else, please ask in r/fckoebenhavn as people will help you. Even if we loose in Turku:-)

Long Term Parking Turku

Hey guys!
I am going to spend an exchange semester in Turku next year and I am going to travel from Austria to Turku by car. I was wondering if there are any affordable parking possibilities (within or outside of Turku) or even free ones?

Thanks

21M Looking for friends in Turku - Any age/gender

Hey guys!

I’m 21M, Portuguese, and I recently moved to Turku permanently. I’m hoping to meet some new people around my age, or older as well, and make some friends here.

A few of my current interests are basketball, reading about behavioral psychology, music production, video games (mostly CS2 and LoL), learning how to cook good food, and exploring Turku. I’m always interested in discovering new hobbies too, so I’m pretty open-minded when it comes to things to do.

I’d be happy to hang out IRL, grab some food or coffee, explore the city, play some games, or just chat online and get to know each other first.

If you’re also looking to meet new people, feel free to DM me! 😊

Mihin pistää myyntiin Kakola Span lahjakortti?

Hei sain lahjaksi helmikuussa vuoden voimassa olevan Kakolaan 45min hierontaan, 45min kasvohoitoon ja Kakola Spahan sisäänpääsyn lahjakortin. Voimassa ensi helmikuuhun saakka ja itselleni ei tule käytettyä, sillä koko lahjakortti pitää kerralla käytettyä, ja koulun ja töiden takia ei riitä into tai vapaa-aika käyttämiseen. Ovh 194€ ja en tiedä mihin pistää myyntiin. Pistin Toriin, mutta se hylättiin. Osaatteko ehdottaa mihin pistää myyntiin. Suosin ensisijaisesti kasvotusten kauppoja, jotta ostaja saa paikanpäällä soittaen varattua ajan.

Kokemuksia viljelypalstoista Turussa?

Onko helppo saada vai onko yleensä pitkät jonot? Haluaisin hankkia ensi kesäksi, mutta olen tämän asian suhteen aivan uusi enkä tiedä vielä mistään mitään. Mistä haen palstaa ja onko ensi kesäksi ihan realistinen tavoite vai pitääkö varautua monen vuoden jonotukseen?

Voiko jousiammuntaa harrastaa Turussa muuten kuin liittymällä seuran jäseneksi?

Seuraavat speksit: asun kerrostalossa. Kaikki kaverit täälläpäin myös asuu kerrostaloissa. Kaverini joka tietää enemmän jousiammunnasta (harrasti lapsena) on opiskelija, ja hänelle 90€ vuosimaksu olisi iso raha.

Itselle tuo 90€ ei olisi ongelma, mutta en halua mennä yksin. Sekään ei käy että maksaisin kaverin puolesta, ei halua että maksan hänet.

Meillä on kummallakin ennestään jouset ja nuolia. Mutta ei paikkaa missä ampua.

Jouskarin kanssahan ei voi leikkiä missä vaan, julksella paikalla ei saa edes kuljettaa, ja autoonkin pitäisi mielellään laittaa piiloon.

Jos olisi joku kaveri jolla omakotitalo isolla pihalla, olisi asia helppo, sinne vaan. Mutta kun ei tunneta lähistöltä ketään riittävän isolla pihalla.

Mietin itse että jos menisi jonnekin sorakuopalle tai muualle metsään ja varovasti vähän ampuisi niin olisiko se niin paha?

Vai onko tosiaan niin että mitään muuta tapaa kuin seuran jäsenyys ei ole?

Vuosipäivän aktiviteetti Turussa

Moi! Alkuperänen vuosipäivän suunnitelma flowparkiin menosta peruuntui, ja nyt on ideat aika vähissä. Kyseessä ensimmäinen vuosipäivä, ollaan menossa syömään joka tapauksessa mutta haluttaisiin myös jotain "tekemistäkin" korvaamaan flowpark. :) Minigolf on kokeiltu eikä mieluusti mentäis leffaan tai keilaamaan.

Onko antaa hyviä suosituksia? Kiitos jo etukäteen vastanneille! 🩷

Any good suggestion for a dental clinic in Turku.

Hi, I have been suffering with excruciating, destructive and detestable, disgusting tooth pain for 4 days straight. Yesterday I took an appointment from varha and they gave me some emergency treatment but not a complete root canal. Since the pain go worse, I begged another appointment today and luckily I got it. This time they did remove the dead nerves, but they put a temporary filling so rough and weak that I think a single bite can dislodge it. My thesis defense is on 20th August. And I am already f**d up. Anyways, now the only part remaining is to fill the roots and put a permanent filling. They put a temporary filling for now, which I don't trust. I will be moving out of Finland and going to Estonia for my PhD. However, I am not sure what will be the situation in Estonia, the costs and everything, so I do need to get treated in Finland before I go to Estonia.

My residence permit will expire on 31st August. Please suggest me any good private clinics, or any other option that are not very expensive, and also who can give me the complete treatment at once. Most of the clinics here are so costly but I know that my insurance covers a certain amount of the dental costs. So I may be able to afford the economical options.
