Tornio (Finland) (AFP) - Hundreds of predominantly Iraqi migrants who have travelled through Europe to reach Finland are turning back, saying they don't want to stay in the sparsely-populated country on Europe's northern frontier because it's too cold and boring.

they thought they'd become millionaires working for nokia because iraq hasn't yet gotten the memo that nokia phones suck now for anything except building IEDs

I think Finland would be an ok place to live provided you can be drunk all the time.

it's actually illegal to be sober while in the country

they won't even let you in if your BAC is less than .1

clever swedes realized that by making the finn travel long distances for his booze you limit his alcohol consumption to what he can carry

that limit encourages brief periods of sobriety in an otherwise ungovernable people

the trick is currently working but...

... finns are evolving

finns are actually only governable when they are in a drunken stupor

What are the laws in Finland that make booze so hard to get? Is it like Washington with the whole state run liquor stores?

state owned stores, yes

the alcohol actually makes sense from a logistic point of view. water is frozen solid for 80% of the year and dirty bog for 20% of the year.

vodka doesn't freeze, vodka doesn't get bacterial infections.

i wonder what the ideal balance/ratio is. yeah, you could enter with your 80 pound Asian wife, but the prize is pathetic. but, obviously, there's no hope of winning with a massive elephant of a wife. what is the "sweet spot" of decent prize money but also not having a cow for a wife?

almost every country in europe has their own nationality as #1 search.

except for ukraine, who search for russians. i guess putin was right.

tuxedo gin plz close this thread

it was briefly amusing to remind people that place like finland actually exists but I think everyone's in on the joke by now

every extra moment spent thinking about finland is a moment wasted so let the forums forget the finn and drift on to happier things

i actually like finland. i've been there twice. ate reindeer and bear and elk and arctic brambleberry icecream.

the dude at the zoo let me in for free because it was -18C and nobody else had come the entire day

Just to poo poo on the finnish myths or whatever no one actually eats bear. Elk is fairly rare. Reindeer is sometimes eaten but it's mostly really rare as food outside of lapland. I have the other two now and then, but I've only eaten bear once in my life and it was at a super fancy russian restaurant.

e: So basically tourists shovel that poo poo down but no one actually living in finland does. Elk and Reindeer, sometimes.

yeah the bear was at a russian place in helsinki

the elk and reindeer were delicious and i would never imagine they were staples in the finnish diet. i ate them at pretty nice restaurants.

i'm just trying to say some positive things about the bog people so the swedes stop getting so pissy in the finland thread

quote:

We had started with a long distance relationship, and after a while I wanted to move to the US where she lived. After 2 best years of my life with her, she graduated from college, and we visited my home country. After the visit, we decided mutually to move to my country, so I could finish my high school degree which was 7 months from completion. However, we did not really look into the immigration process/job opportunities. We just knew Finland was a safe place to live in, and we had good support from our family.
After 5 months of living in Finland, our relationship started slowly to die due to the immigration process taking a long time. Month after that we had a big fight due to nothing working out, and it took us a while to clear that up. We agreed to wait until March to discuss if we wanted to move away. We had a good January, but I could tell she was slowly starting to get a bit depressed and losing her emotions. I tried my best to keep her happy. Then February came, and she told me (about 12 days ago) that she is going back to the US, and asked if I wanted to come.
I had very bad three days thinking about what to do, and we both were stressed. Then we had a fight which ended to her saying "I'm leaving now" and I angrily said "Good! Leave!"
It's been 12 days, and we haven't still talked. I have tried to talk to her, but she doesn't seem to want to talk.
I hate how we hadn't had the chance to discuss the fight, and I can only think about blaming Finland on destroying our relationship which is driving me insane and depressed. I still have a lot of feelings towards her. I honestly have no idea how she is feeling.
My family is telling me to go to the airport before she leaves, and trying to say a word or two.
I'm not sure what to do. Should I leave her alone and hope she messages me later? Should I try to message her? Should I go to the airport and try to talk?
EDIT: I never got to tell her how I wanted to go to the US with her. Just got caught up in the fight, and didn't think logically and told her to go alone.
TL;DR: I believe moving to Finland temporarily ruined our good relationship started in US. Not sure what to do anymore.
