What is the time difference between Chicago and Finland?
Q. I know that the Chicago Blackhawks are scheduled to begin their NHL season, in Finland and Chicago. Is Finland ahead or between Chicago? The name of the city is Helsinki, and the name of the venue is Hartwall Areena. And both games are scheduled to begin at 11:00 A.M. (central time) on both days.
Asked by staggmovie - Mon Sep 21 23:40:24 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Helsinki is 8 hours ahead of Chicago. So 11 a.m. Chicago time is 7 p.m. Helsinki time on the same day, and 11 a.m. Helsinki time is 3 a.m. Chicago time on the same day. You can just type "time helsinki" or "time chicago" (or any city) into a search engine like Yahoo or Google, and it will give you the current local time at the top of the page.

What is the legal age in Finland in regards to entrance at clubs and bars?
Q. This summer I'm planning on going to europe. I know most of the drinking ages there, but I have discovered that there is no legal drinking age in finland, just a purchase age. In that case, if a person is 17, will she or he be able to get into the clubs and/or bars?
Asked by Lexo - Wed Nov 21 23:40:02 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It's illegal in Finland for you to allow an under 18-year-old to buy any kind of alcohol, and it's illegal for you to sell to/buy for an under 18-year-old. At eighteen, you can buy yourself drinks containing up to 22% alcohol, and at 20 you can buy anything you like. Depending on the pub, the age limit is somewhere between 18 and 22. Under 18-year-olds can enter some pubs between certain daytime hours, as far as I remember. Don't take this for gospel - it might have changed to disallow minors from pubs altogether.

How widespread would you say knowledge of English is in Finland? Can most young people speak or undersand it?
Q. Could a Finn please tell me to what extent English prevails (if it does) in Finland? I'm not planning on going there or anything, I'm just curious about it's linguistic situation with respect to English. Is English heard everywhere in the media, or can a person living in Helskini, say, go for weeks or months without hearing or seeing any English? Thanks for any and all responses!

A. In Finland, pretty much everyone knows english, just with terrible accents ;) It's taught in all the schools, so everyone knows it, particularly people in Helsinki because it's got the most foreigners and tourists. Maybe in small towns in Lapland there's not as many english speakers. All the American TV shows and Movies (and there's a lot of them), apart from the children's ones are kept in English, with subtitles. Many of the music they listen to is also in English. There's always some exposure to english in Finland.

What and Where is Finland's largest electronics/mobile phone market?
Q. I've spent days and days researching on the internet but all to no avail. I'm looking for the name and information about FINLAND's largest electronic marketplace. What's the name, address and website of it. Since Nokia has a massive branch there, i should think there's a market place where Nokia's wholesalers/distributors meet to trade. Kindly provide any information you have and/or your experience.
Asked by progress - Thu May 27 14:20:33 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Nokia provides their cellphones t their distributors (cellphone and electronics stores) directly and typically such orders are handled online. Sorry to say this so bluntly, but there is no physical place where sales people gather to sell large quantities of Nokia products, not when the actual manufacturer is around (why buy from a second party, when you can buy straight from the maker). The same thing goes for most other products, stores buy them directly from the manufacturers, possibly through an import company (but not in the case of Nokia, since it's a Finnish company).

A. U can a) Google the hotels up. b) Go to a travel agent to get em to do it for u. Yup, u need a credit card usually to book a hotel.With a credit card,least ur booking is confirmed.But u can choose to pay cash when u check out,and they wud void the credit card for u.If not, it wud be charged. Usually when u cancel ur hotel room,they wud not refund ur money ( if u booked via a credit card ) if the date is too close.But u can cancel ur bookings a few days earlier to avoid that.If not, even if ure not there,they wud still charge u.So its best u confirmed all ur flights & make very sure that u want to book that hotel b4 u proceed.Good Luck!

A. First, you may or may not know the Finns don't call it WW2, they call them (plural) Winter War and Continuation War which started several months later. As for the cleaning out of jails, I've never heard of any such. I read Lauri Toerni's biography "Soldier Under Three Flags", "A Frozen Hell", a couple of biographies of Mannerheim, seen several DVDs and TV documentaries and none made mention of what would have been a pretty significant decision. I don't think it likely as Finland had a pretty small population at the time and with it a pretty small prison population so the benefits would have been pretty small, if there were any. Further, a professional army under the command of a man like Mannerheim would not likely take such a step. … [cont.]

A. I couldn't find any information about any vote by Eurogroup finance ministers related to their May 2 decision to bail out Greece. If there was a vote, the vote information isn't publicly available. Finland's parliament approved its share of the bailout on May 12. From the Helsinki Times: "The government's proposal was passed with 108 votes to 63 after a heated and lengthy debate during which opposition MPs questioned Greece's ability to repay. Only the government parties voted for the proposal, with one Centre Party MP breaking ranks to vote against it... Social Democratic MPs affirmed that they were not against supporting Greece, but they wanted banks to participate as well and commit to reforming the financial system." Additional… [cont.]

A. - We drink a lot. A LOT. Like, in the US, people will consider you an alkie if you down three beers a night. In Finland, that's starters. Finish it off with a few swigs (not shots but swigs) of vodka and you're getting there. - We love saunas. Saunas are a huge part of the Finnish social construct, and as a result, we make the best saunas in the world. - Some of the best race car and rally drivers in the world are Finnish, and there's an adage that goes, "If you want to win, use a Finn" as a result.

A. If it is made in China I would be concerned I might wing the wong number! ...just kidding.. :) Nokia has plants in many countries. As they all use the same design and components, there should be no technical difference between them. It may be a coincidence you are seeing, but there should be no difference. Nokia is a solid phone - never heard of one being preferential over the other. You might want to check out www.phonescoop.com to see what others are saying. Hope this helps! Good Luck!

A. Much better, Mikhail! Now we get the full scope of your question! I would say that this would be a good question to ask of someone in the legal profession in Finland. If one is a legal resident, I would think that the law that permits two citizens recognition would honor the civil union performed somewhere else, though only by such standards as are legally acceptable in Finland. It may or may not require a waiting period, and would most certainly come with accompanying bureaucratic forms to fill out and hoops to jump through, but if Finland recognizes civil unions and at least one of you is an established citizen or authorized permanent resident, I can see no sound argument that would impede you.

Go to your local post office, give the letter to the salesperson there and say that you would like to post it by air mail to Finland. The salesperson then will weigh the letter for you and say how many stamps you need to buy for it. It is this simple!
