Learned a few finnish words since I arrive here in Finland. Seutu Lippu, which is a regional ticket so that you can travel throughout the Helsinki area (Vantaa, Espoo, Helsinki) on either local trains, Metro, buses, or trams. I also purchased a Monthly Pass (which runs around 350 FIM = $52) Not too bad considerding there are a total of at least 20 mandays or workdays in a month. (another new word I learned)
\nI went to go to see my HR Representative at Nokia in Leepp\u00e4vaara in Espoo. It was quite a day for me as I get up at 6am. Leave the house at 7:45 to go and get kaksi (2) seutu lippu (all area transport tickets), which are only good for one hour after you date\/time stamp them. Got on the Metro for the first time, which I thought is very well maintained and is on a strict timetable. I have notice that everything here is always on a time and is prompt.(give or take a minute or so) I go on the metro to Central Railway Station, go the train station to catch the 8:18 E Train to Lepp\u00e4vaara. Get off at the station in Lepp\u00e4vaara and I got lost for the first time and had really know idea where I was. I really felt helpless, and I really know where BFE is…here in Finland when you are lost. he he he
\nI get to the location finally at Upseerinkatu, making it there with a few minutes to spare to meet with the HR consultant to sign my working contract with Nokia and to get other paper work signed for payroll purposes and etc. I get home around 1:30 in the afternoon and slept as I really felt tired after my journey. Getting around is starting to get easier for me as I learn where things are at and I am starting to remember also.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
