January is always the coldest month in Finland. At the moment it's -19 degrees and occasionally snowing. Been very beautiful but also DAMN cold and I really want to avoid being outside. Today and yesterday was mostly about fixing paperwork and other necessary things.
In the winter we have a holiday called "Laskiais Sunnintai" which means Ski and sled sunday. On this particular day it is a tradition to ride sleds with friends or family. Food for this day is Pea soup and Laskiais sweet-rolls which are filled with cream and jam (picture) and they are really good! You can buy them for a few weeks on this holiday, after that they disappear from the stores until next year again, don't miss your chance!
I still didn't receive the Visa papers I need for the working permit...Original plan was to start working the 3rd of January but still waiting for them to fix it. Have to give them a call tomorrow and ask if they can send it to Finland ASAP so i don't have to fly to Hong Kong next week and apply. But then again i've never been to HK so it would be nice to make an extra trip there.
