    Population roughly 690,000 in the city proper, 1.6 million in the metro area. Very impressive!

      Polkupyöräilijöiden kuolonkolari Helsingissä

      All these diaereses look so angry in the first word. I can’t understand a word of Finnish but it’s like I can feel how dramatic the event is.

      … Actually, I looked it up and it seems that “Polkupyöräilijöiden” just means “cyclists”, whereas the word for “fatal accident” doesn’t have a single diaeresis. What a strange, misleading language. Joke aside, I’m sorry for the person who died. :-(

        Russian tourists either drive something really expensive or a horrible shitbox that will spontaneously decompose on your face. No middle ground.

          It’s never wrong to call out xenophobia.

            But it isn’t actually incorrect. Shouldn’t it be slander to be xenophobia?

      Living in the eastern part of the country, I can tell everyone that I have not missed Russian drivers even though our traffic is nothing compared to Helsinki

      Also, no more unreturned shopping carts in the parking lot! At least a lot less than before the border closure, and that’s straight from a hypermarket worker
