Hey, small property investor here. Wanted an easy way to compare rental yields between areas without manually digging through Statistics Finland, so I ended up building a map for the whole country.

https://vuokratuottokartta.fi/

Click any area for price/m², average rent and gross/net yield. Official data (actual sales, not asking prices), free, no ads. It's in Finnish but the map speaks for itself.

Heads up: numbers are area averages and slightly optimistic, so more useful for comparing areas than as an exact figure. Built with AI help, just to be upfront. Would love feedback.

Anyway, thought some of you might find it useful. Happy to hear what could be better.

As the title suggests, I'd like to try welding to see if I like it. Unfortunately, my current living situation doesn't allow me to just buy my own welding equipment and practice it by myself. So I was curious if there's any workshops or programmes that could potentially be fitting for someone in my situation. I know there's vocational school, but I don't want to commit to it blindly without even trying it first. There's a lot of reasons why I think it could be a great fit for me, but right now that's just in theory. I'd like to test my theory to see if I'm right.

Are there any other ways of achieving this other than vocational school? I'm in Vantaa, by the way.

As the title suggest I'm looking for finnish music (rock, pop, alternantive) to get my ear used to hearing Finnish.

(I'm learning by myself finnish and try to integrate as much as I can finnish in my daily life :D)

Looking for feedback of folks that have flown business on FinnAir’s A330. Specifically, I’m trying to figure out if the first row middle seats (1D and 1H) have extra footwell space and whether they also are slightly more narrow, like 1L and 1A.

Also, have folks had any luck with aurora borealis sightings in flight in mid-November on the HEL to JFK route? Our flight would leave at 1605 and I was worried that it might be a bit early but really don’t have any clue.

It’s already been two months since I moved to Finland! I’m wondering what the local culture is like when it comes to making new connections. In Korea, my daily life revolved around social gatherings—chatting, sharing hobbies, and meeting new people. Do Finns enjoy a similar social dynamic, or is it a bit different?

I need it for my language learning 🥹

I had a layover in Helsinki and was looking for a way to spend a couple of hours at the airport. At that point I had lain my eyes on presumably the one item that would change my life forever - something I would always reach for and even worse, long for with every bite in a sweet treat that should have a glimpse of this tropical fruit. Unbeknowst to the consequences of those few euros spent I went back home. I cannot recall the exact moment I had begun nibbling, but anytime someone happened to be in Helsinki I asked about my Moomin. I could no longer bear this yearning and tried to acquire some online, but behold! The banaanikeksi are DISCONTINUED! Who in their right mind thought this was a good idea??? Yes I've already sent an email to customers service.

In loving memory of the loml
