Nah. I'm too lazy to travel anywhere for a vacation. Time off for me means simply not going to the office and lying in my bed instead ;p I honestly wish I could WFH but it's impossible since we have to work on physical files and tend to people's queries as and when they arrive to my office.
> mean French government is very slow when it's about to deal with paperwork.
It's the same everywhere
> From time to time, do you have to deal with mean people ?
Ugh. Yes. And I can't really be my true mean self bc they go ahead and complain about my attitude to my senior :(
> I'm also thinking about stuff like having children, having a car or buy a house to prepare my retirement.
At such a young age???
See, not wanting to speak English bc of tourists in your country is fine. But wanting people to speak French when you're in a foreign country -that's just being an asshole. Exactly how Americans expect the entire world to revolve around their needs.
We don't view bread as an Indian item, so it really isn't a part of our normal food. Maybe sometimes breakfast where you have sandwiches or toasted bread, but that's it. I don't think the combo or curry-bread exists anywhere here.
I mean, mine is a govt job so I'll be doing it until I retire at 60. I don't see why I should ever shift to a private job, seeing how there is 100% stability in my current job and 0 stability in a private one. I think this is the case the world over.
Yes, sometimes I'm so mentally/physically tired that my brain refuses to understand the simplest of things. So that's when I either go to sleep or refresh my brain by watching junk content (reels, YT videos etc) in order to relax. How about you?
Yeah it was quite irritating but of course i'll wait now for springtime. Here it's you have to pay for final exams, otherwise no.
No here is no refund system, that's why if somebody gets sick, they rarther go to exam while sick cuz otherwise the money will be wasted.
Worse is that they mark this as a first entry in the exam, like you'd have already been there even tho you weren't and spring it's like "second try". They don't like write there that "missed it" or "sick etc". But yes when doing it now on springtime, i have to pay again, true.
I guess i'd study more, as i really don't have money to travel, like last time I traveled was in 2018 and i don't want to work fulltime while studying as it's more stressful.
Oh but half a year, how could you afford it? Did you stay by friends place or rented place/hotel etc, like that already takes money if staying in hotel each time or buying much of things each time.
School is ok, i do prefer freetime and outside school time more of course.
Maybe at times when things go well it's fine, but otherwise not really. What i dislike is like things that teachers put deadlines so close to each other, like not considering that there is already so much to do and they put even more and don't communicate each other but just puts new assignments / exams like that and don't consider the amount of work there is already. Like some exams that are outside exam week are so close to each, like wednesday and instantly other next day, and these are just basic exams after all.
For me i wouldn't like to help such social bums, like why i have give them my hard worked money and i get to keep less than half to myself? Not fair imo. They should do the same here, reduce.
I like to do in Helsinki shopping, before cafes, cinema and hanging around etc. Yeah the christmas market is good, true it's icy.
I think for halloween i will eat snacks/sweets, put decorations etc. I'm not party person really.
I did iceskating/snowman before but these days i just wander in the winter atmosphere xD
I like most latte and mocha drinks. I found new good one by chance few months ago.
Oh that sucks ._. i keep them usually a bit more far away from computer so it doesn't happen to me. Usually i don't drink while working/studying but on free time and not everyday. Usually on weekend/holiday and summer not at all.
Yeah i've heard of it. I enjoyed most Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World, Chillin' in Another World with Level 2 Super Cheat Powers, Banished From The Hero's Party, I Decided To Live A Quiet Life In The Countryside Season 1-2 and The Banished Former Hero Lives as He Pleases.
I haven't watched any animes for 2 months now *_* i'm so behind with previous anime season and the new one.
No i usually keep things to myself as an introvert (already as a kid) and rather not bother others with them, that's why i don't understand why many are annoyed that i mind my own business and try to shove their own things all of the time to my face, even topics that trigger or annoy me. Also there is always in every school these actual problematic people who bother during classes/bully etc, but teachers always bother me that "oh why i'm so quiet etc" like wtf is problem with that as i'm not making trouble or anything bad with it?
Actually i've never been bullied by boys, it's always girls. Like girls in elementary school lift my skirt (like wouldn't this be more like boy would do but no) and diss me from whatever things. That's why when i went to middle school/highschool i haven't had dresses/skirts anymore but some boring jeans.
That's why if i talk to boys, these girls who try to seek attention from them by purpose get so bitter as i don't try anything and i casually just chat if someone wants to talk with me (and i don't approach anyone, like never).
I guess i usually just listen to music, browse internet, eat etc.
Hmm i'd rather forget/not to think of them than confront someday, in fact.
I think it's her problem really, if she will have hard life with no purpose, then be it. Nobody forces her to be trash. Also she started to post half naked pics already as a underage, like imagine that. Also she dressed already as a elementary kid so inappropriately that teachers said that she should have more clothes on and this is school. Also who tf appears during cold winter in some crop top and pants and no jacket, like lmao, isn't she just idiot with no sense of surroundings.
Probably nice to tourists so they can earn money, but to Finns they aren't really the kindest. Like Finland was under Russia and then Sweden so they still think Finns as a pushover who just have to please them (that's why studying in Sweden in school is still forced here, as finland is supposedly two-language country). That's why Finns have better relations to Norway than Sweden.
I think Finnish mind their own business more than Swedish, Swedish people are quite fake at times, Finns are more real.
Lmao true, that's annoying af. Well i'm half Asian so I do look completely Asian, like dark brown hair+eyes and my skin is darker (that's why in elementary someone said that i look like crow or i'm so "black" as i had darkest skin in whole class, which is found disgusting, also exactly these "pretty blonde girls" that you talked about were ALWAYS the ones who bullied me. Those with darker hair didn't. I find blondes stupid af, easy and they don't have anything deeper to them. I really don't understand why anyone would like them, they're just decorations and can't even understand basic things).
Well as a brunette i prefer them more and at times many Finns look quite pale as they have anemia/lack of sunshine and so unhealthy lifestyle, also eating red meat so often that their skin color is more red than light.
Idk as i'm not really interested in romantic relationships or whatever comes with it, they seem so fake so why i should bother with such nonsense.
I think Asian people look the healthiest compared to Finns, also there is more in their appearance than Finns. Finnish girls really don't look unique etc at all, also if they color darker hair, it looks so fake af and the amount of makeup they put as they try to have some kind of appearance is embarassing.
My sleep schedule is normal, i don't see issue with it really. I get up early and go sleep usually decent time and rarely stay awake at night (that's just on holidays i stay awake).
See you ^^
I'm doing good!
But similarly to you, I have been quite busy with school. There's a lot of homework, for example, essays to write, so it takes time.
Oh, I hate unclean public transportation ... I think in big cities, it is normal that it is not so clean, but apart from Helsinki, I think Finland is quite clean. Here in Japan, the public transportation is so clean, and people talk quietly, so I really like that.
Hmm, what do you mean "fix the boy"? I think that might be the case with some people, which is probably why it's easier to get to know Finns by going to the bar with them lol. Drunk people don't mind so much and talk a lot, Finns are no different :D
Yup, I think there are several pretty / attractive Finnish girls. I don't usually think about it though, and not everyone is like that of course. What about you? Are French women pretty and men handsome?
Yeah, I think small talk is the thing that I can't get myself to do. I'd rather be silent than talk about basically nothing. Do you like small talk?
I'm staying until January, but I asked my school if I can extend my stay until July. I don't know about it yet.
So far I've enjoyed being here. But there are A LOT of people haha. Compared to Finland, this place is stuffed.
And the weather is so hot. It's October, but still almost 30 celsius, which is crazy for me.
Ahaha that sounds a bit depressing, just working and saving money. BUT it will be worth it. Good luck!
Yeah, it's exactly that, some refugees come and do bad things and then people automatically assume, that they are all like that. It's a bit annoying problem, which is why I'm glad I'm not politician, idk what to do :'D
I mean I don't want to give my money to people that have a risk of committing crime, which sounds racist, so people get angry if you say that. But I know it cannot be assumed that a person would commit crime just because he/she is from a certain country.
I think I want to live in Eastern Finland. I've lived there my whole life, except for 2 years in the West. Lapland would be beautiful to live in, but the distance to my relatives and friends would be too long.
Yeah, that sounds exhausting. I don't think people who live to work are very content with their lives. I hope you can break the cycle and find time to enjoy life too.
Well I think remote work would be nice because I can save time when I don't have to go to work. I can also be more relaxed at my home and f.ex. listen to music without earphones. It's also good if I want to take a dog, I can just go for a walk with it when I have a little pause from work!
