What would be the climate of Finland in April?
Q. I'm traveling from India to Finland by mid of April. Could you please tell me what would be the climate in Finland in April? Also what kind of clothing shall I take with me?
Asked by Vivin - Sun Feb 11 10:48:47 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Typically in mid-April the temperature is up to +10C (normally +2-6C) during day time, and it may get few Celsius degrees minus during night time. There should not be much (if not at all) of snow left in the ground by then (in southern Finland). You should prepare for rain also when choosing clothing. Allthough it does not rain so much in April normally. Clothing otherwise (if you are a male): If you wear a suit, you will need to bring a coat on top of that (rain coat type of coat is best, not very heavy but still protects from rain & wind). Otherwise during daytime you may manage only with sweater in some days, but prepare to have some sort of free time coat also (light coat). You do not need to prepare for freezing weather though. … [cont.]

How widespread would you say knowledge of English is in Finland? Can most young people speak or undersand it?
Q. Could a Finn please tell me to what extent English prevails (if it does) in Finland? I'm not planning on going there or anything, I'm just curious about it's linguistic situation with respect to English. Is English heard everywhere in the media, or can a person living in Helskini, say, go for weeks or months without hearing or seeing any English? Thanks for any and all responses!

A. In Finland, pretty much everyone knows english, just with terrible accents ;) It's taught in all the schools, so everyone knows it, particularly people in Helsinki because it's got the most foreigners and tourists. Maybe in small towns in Lapland there's not as many english speakers. All the American TV shows and Movies (and there's a lot of them), apart from the children's ones are kept in English, with subtitles. Many of the music they listen to is also in English. There's always some exposure to english in Finland.

Asked by stuart - Mon May 11 14:11:39 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. You could try following courier services such as UPS,TNT,FEDEX or DHL for heavier packages. International courier service from the post (Itella) or EMS (Express mail service) have some weight liminations. (up to 21kg or 31) I've only dealt with UPS and Fedex and they both are reliable. Just browse their websites and use the expenses calculator to give you some idea of the prices. I think UPS is cheaper than Fedex. Be sure to pack the stuff well and tight with padding inside the boxes. UPS Super Saver was quite affordable one year ago.

A. The Schengen Visa has made traveling between its 15 European member countries much easier and less bureaucratic. Traveling on a Schengen Visa means that the visa holder can travel to any (or all) member countries using one single visa, thus avoiding the hassle and expense of obtaining individual visas for each country. This is particularly beneficial for persons who wish to visit several European countries on the same trip. The Schengen visa is a visitor visa . It is issued to citizens of countries who are required to obtain a visa before entering Europe.
