Just found this, further proof that Norway, Denmark and Sweden are much better places to live in than Finland.

Australia also very high up the list. Those (and a couple more) countries are the ones I'm looking at when I graduate and start planning where to move.

Yes but we always rank high because of the education and healthcare etc. but many other countries have these things too, only they're much better in other areas. Here you can't make any money through hard work because the government extorts the citizens with ridiculously high taxes and everything is still expensive as fuck. Even if you're a doctor or something, you still don't have much money left after basic living expenses. I know it may be selfish to take advantage of the free education and then go somewhere else immediately after graduating and not stay here to pay the taxes so that others can study free too, but I never said I'm not a selfish bastard who only cares what's best for myself.

I suspect their parents were born in England. It doesn't count...

You're always welcome to come, I'm sure you wouldn't last a month out here in the cold, you Aussie fucker.

I work in a freezer (It gets down to negative 30), you ignorant cunt.

Here it's -30 degrees everywhere, not just in a freezer. The cold wind makes it feel even colder.

I imagine it's less cold on the coast. That's where I'd live ideally. Helsinki or whatever it's called.

And they all seem to congregate in Walkabout!!!

That's where I'd like to live too but it's expensive as fuck and no one can afford to live there, especially as a student. Rent can easily be over 1000 euros a month even for a shit apartment that is located 30 kilometers away from the city centre and having a car is impossible because of all the expenses (again, even for an old piece of shit car).

And also, the weather is still shit in Helsinki. Maybe a little better than where I currently live but not much.
