In Finland as an immigrant, I was a problem. My identity lies in many places.
When there is war, I?m always
in pain. I notice that I?ve become a Finn in the sense that
I?ve become less social.
This is a very urban and
city-cultured, small country
with a lot of people, so relationships and communication
are very important. 16 JANUARY 2013
HELSINKI TIMES
UMAYYA ABU-HANNA, a Palestinian born in Israel, lived in Finland for 30 years, working in various sectors of Finnish society. I know how
things function in Finland,
but I?m all the time in trouble with different Dutch
systems. Even
with the so-called good people I had to discuss in length
why you cannot call someone
a nigger or neekeri. Changes are needed in
the way a society functions
as well as the way you look
at things. It means everything
and nothing. I would rather
use the word diversity, but it
is hard to translate into Finnish. The biggest
problem of writing this book
was in saying that, pointing
to the institutional exclusion
of the other. I?ve become more of a Finn: I?m rude;
I?m not too excited about
making new friends, either.
I also miss the Scandinavian
forests and functioning showers. Multiculturalism means
either hate, or then you think
it is so fantastic and of wonderful ethnic food.
There is nothing rational
about the discussion of the
subject although it?s something you cannot avoid in a
modern society. Umayya arrived in Finland in 1981, and graduated from the School of Art and
Design (currently Aalto University School of Art, Design and Architecture) in 1992.
Addressing the issue
Abu-Hanna, who has worked as a writer, city council member and
teacher in Finland, recently caused a media storm with comments
on the racism she views as being endemic in Finnish society. That is basically the
reason I?m here. The European solution was to give a
country not theirs to a group
they had persecuted.
That is the Israeli-Palestinian con?ict. We
moved to Amsterdam, which
is a more cosmopolitan place.
In Finland I tried very hard to belong. I might
move back to Haifa when I?m
old and lose all my languages and speak only Arabic, and
have to go live with my dementia imagining it?s paradise (laughs).
Are there any aspects of the
Finnish culture you miss?
I?m out of my comfort zone
here in Holland. I had
certain sense of inferiority,
in Finland I knew my place.
I was shocked because although here I?m pretty much
the basic stereotype of living off the social system:
I?m a non-working new immigrant, a middle-aged Arab woman who doesn?t speak
Dutch, I?m a single mom of a
black daughter. Is that
a place to one day go back to?
No, it?s a sick place. I cannot
live there, because that would
mean choosing between two
things: either you must have
a total emotional detachment
in order to lead a normal life,
or then you go completely bananas and talk about the con?ict non-stop. But life is about feeling at
home and when a place welcomes you, it?s hard not to like
it back. I was spending
my time trying to protect her
from the so-called normal
people spitting on her and
abusing her. I was absolutely shocked by the way my
daughter was treated. The things that we
really associate with Scandinavian and Finnish society
are democracy and equality. It
isn?t some poor racist or Perussuomalaiset (Finns Party)
who decide if immigrants are
excluded from society, it is
the big political parties, our
You left Finland for good to
settle down in Netherlands
after 30 years of living here,
what were the push factors
driving you out?
They were basically the reasons just mentioned. Finland has to face the situation,
but nobody wants to discuss
that. That
is why I wrote the book.
The Finnish intelligentsia
suddenly decided that it?s
against our sense of equality to call racist people racist,
so they started to call racist
activity immigrant-critical.
If you call racist people immigrant-critical, there is no
space for criticism any more.
The obscenity and violence
that was coming out took the
space of the real constructive discussion.
There is a consensus
among those who are in power, i.e. It was
a big shock when I came here that I realised
that I had internalised a certain sense of inferiority, in Finland I knew my place.
Now that you no longer live in
Finland, has your opinion of
Finland changed in any way?
No, I follow the situation.
Things are changing slowly.
I have some distance now so
I can see things more clearly, with less emotion. She
moved to Amsterdam two years ago with her daughter. The atmosphere
in Finland had also changed
during that time and become
How do you compare an
outsider?s perspective of
the Netherlands to that of
Finland?
In Finland I tried very hard
to belong. I was shocked to ?nd
that you don?t have to go to
a special multicultural place
to be treated like a human
being. At ?rst
I didn?t want to use the term
?multiculture?, because I
think it?s a term that has
been overused and brings
out certain negative emotions. It was
a very emotional decision to
move.
When you turn 50, it?s
very stupid to suddenly leave
the country, especially if
you?re working through the
language, and to come to a
country where you are totally illiterate. I don?t think
that loyalty should come with
the colour of skin, a passport, language or religion. Yet I?m treated like a human being everywhere. Simultaneously we underline that we are the best in
the world and have the best
schools etc., so why change.
more violent. I think the only solution would be one state for all
its citizens. It was a big shock
when I came here and I realised that I had internalised a
class, to keep the status quo
as such, because then they
can keep their own power. I love the place,
and I was born there (in Israel). the educated middle
liberal friends. I felt like a
woman in Saudi-Arabian saying that women are human
beings too. This feels like home.. Finland?s multiculturalism might be one
of the fastest to grow and
on a big scale in a very short
time, so it will be painful. Here
Abu-Hanna speaks openly about reasons for moving away from
Finland and her new book Multikulti.
What is your new book about
and why did you write it?
It is called Multikulti. It?s a future that
will happen but it will take a
lot of pain and tears. I
think loyalty is to life and to
humanity. But you cannot be equal if
you don?t measure equality
for certain groups, for example the unemployed, this also
holds true for immigrants.
I was on the core of Finnish society, not on the margins, and I noticed that
nobody wanted to say the
truth that the whole society is resisting change. There are
many other things which are
very dif?cult here, but getting your humanity back is
important.
As a Palestinian from Israel how do you see the developments back home. At the same time
people from her school treated her as strange and exotic. It is near suicide.

but it is how it is.

that black skin is a very big
marker, I didn?t expect it to
be that big. Her black skin was the
main issue 24 hours a day. Neither is a
healthy way of living.
My own home land thinks
that as a Palestinian I?m the
problem. The con?ict?s roots
are in the Second World War
so it?s a problem rooted in Europe?s anti-Semitism. I
want a home and have normal problems, but I?m not
the problem and my daughter isn?t the problem. Multicultural changes would shift
power between different elements of society and that is
not easy.
They are painful and
bring out hatred and resistance. 2

IF YOU haven?t retired yet,

proposed by others. Currently the Finnish government is
dominated by the left-leaning Social Democrats, who
historically have opposed increasing the retirement age,
and the right-wing National
Coalition, who are more sympathetic to the idea. In the past the
Research Institute of the
Finnish Economy (ETLA)
pointed out that raising the
retirement age a couple of
years will solve nothing, because life expectancy is likewise continuing to increase.
A better idea would be to tie
the retirement age to life
expectancy.
Two years ago the unions,
employer organisations and
the Finnish government attempted to ?nd a way to increase the retirement age but
failed to come up with meaningful solutions. In Helsinki it is even more pronounced:
prices increased 4% in November while the economy
probably contracted 1%.
While the Government is loath to address
the issue, other experts are willing to talk
about Finland?s antiquated and inadequate
pension scheme.
DAV I D J . Projections for the next
?fty years are that the work
force in Finland will shrink
by some 11 per cent while the
number of elderly will expand
by 75 per cent.
Besides the overall greying of the population, people are also living longer and
hence drawing pensions for
many years. Some
schemes are ingenious: Lestijärvi in Ostrobothnia is offering a 10,000 Euro cash
bonus for residents to have
children.
Besides increasing the
birth rate among Finns, another idea is to increase
immigration. Unfortunately, only
16,800 net migrants came to
Finland in 2011, 40 per cent
fewer than the 28,000 we
need annually.
Most likely a combination
of measures will be necessary to make Finland?s pension system sustainable over
a long period. This
is gallingly expensive, and
experts are scratching their
heads as they try to ?nd a solution. Aged workers are
less productive, but if this
fall in output is matched by
a drop in salary, employers
would be more likely to keep
them employed.
Vartiainen also told the
newspaper that an increased
retirement age could help,
because older workers would
know they needed to maintain their skills for a longer
period of time.
While it has been discussed that younger people
should start their working
careers sooner, it has received few concrete proposals. With the
help of reforms, this had increased to 61.6 by 2007. Since 2010
prices have been increasing twice as fast as the domestic economy. Economists have come
up with an equation, using the Taylor Rule, to determine what interest rates should be. In 2001, the average
Finn was 61.4 years of age
when he retired. One reason for this is
that young people already
have a dif?cult time ?nding
employment, and the youth
unemployment rate is several times as high as that for
the entire population.
More immigration
Another way to help with the
problem is to increase the
number of workers. Finland is not alone,
and almost every developed
nation is experiencing the
same problem.
Retire later
One of the most common ideas to help remedy the problem is to extend the working
life. Cord david@helsinkitimes.fi

interest rate problem
does not consist of a single economy,
but it does use a single currency. Finland?s policy
makers are worried how the
state will pay for all the pensions it has promised.
The problem is one of simple maths: in 2008 every
pensioner in Finland was supported by four workers. It has been seen as a safe haven
during the crisis, and money has been ?owing into it.
The Norges Bank has set interest rates abnormally low
to discourage investors from parking their money in
Norway. Finland and Germany need 2.1% and 2.9%, respectively.
It is remarkable that the Netherlands needs a rate triple that of Finland?s, while both have relatively strong
economies. Other stronger economies also have low in?ation: the Netherlands has the same rate as Finland,

Germany, for example, the
average age to begin receiving a pension is almost ?ve
years before the statutory
retirement age.
Raising of?cial retirement ages and closing loopholes have helped, to some
extent. The problem we have is that some nations
need one interest rate for their economy, while others
need one completely different. The phenomenon has already begun, as the number of
employed peaked in 2011 and
is expected to decline until
2060. This is
putting extreme strain on
public ?nances.
By 2060, the Finnish state
will spend the equivalent of
18 per cent of the entire economy on public pensions and
long-term health care. Yet simply increasing the
retirement age is not enough.
Many countries have loopholes where people can retire
early, such as by using vacation, disability, sick leave or
early retirement schemes.
The average age to begin receiving a pension is almost
always younger than the
?of?cial. Take Nor-
way as an example. However, a side effect of this is making it too
easy to borrow money, and now there are serious concerns a bubble has developed in the real estate market.
IT IS dif?cult to determine if any bubbles are develop-
ing in Finland because rates are too low. So far there are no signs of this, probably because we are in a liquidity trap. Bubbles are
notoriously dif?cult to spot as they are in?ating, and it
is nearly impossible to predict when they will pop. According to the
OECD, in 1958 a newly-retired
Finn had a life expectancy of
11.5 years after retirement.
By 2010, a new pensioner
could expect 16.8 years of retirement, and by 2050 it will
be almost 20 years. Finance Minister Jutta Urpilainen told

can?t be the only one tempted by the thought of sun,
sea and sand. Nonetheless, a few beach
shacks, more like semi-permanent structures built for
half the year at a time, had
already sprung up, offering
food of generally good quality and, at the very least, extremely pleasant vistas of
the Indian Ocean. There is also a popular
archaeological
museum
where, bizarrely, a group of
teenagers from West Bengal assailed yours truly with
demands for photographs.

most pleasingly, a trip to a local organic spice plantation
was cheap, informative and
ended with a delicious veggie meal.
Speaking of food, Goan
cuisine is really interesting
as a mixture of Portuguese
and Indian food, primarily
centred on seafood. Like in
all of India, vegetarian dishes are extremely common,
and in fact most of the time
there?s no point ordering the
meat dishes as they?re generally not as good and more expensive. Somewhere in Eastern India there
are photos of me looking utterly bemused, surrounded
by a group of grinning adolescents. We only
stayed a week, but it was long
enough to begin to appreciate some facets of a unique
tourist destination.
The distinctive atmosphere of Goa seems to result
primarily from its history as
a Portuguese colony. I felt like a freak
show, but perhaps I should be
?attered.
Our second day trip was
to Anjuna beach market, a
sprawling collection of traders held only on Wednesdays and offering pretty
much what you?d expect . Goa is

one of these shacks that my
mother and I partied with her
old friend and family on our
last evening, and gorged ourselves on an Indian buffet in

Travelling to Goa is quite
easy these days, with Finnair

just a two-hour ?ight south

expensive than ?ying via a

expanded. Gaselli is a little hidden from public view, but the pub is worth
a visit if a cozy atmosphere
and a good beer or cider are
what you are looking for.
Pub Gaselli was established
in 1997, and according to manager Jani Pesonen it was the

When looking for a more quiet evening, try going early or
on a weekday. The courtyard includes
?ve establishments, all run
by the same owners. The place is also good
for watching sports, with a
large plasma TV in the back.
As of January, the pub will
show Premier League matches and other sports events.
Saturday?s 17:00 games will
feature a drink offer that
changes by the week.
The decor is reminiscent
of a British pub, with dim
lighting, dark wood, armchairs and sofas. A South African Savanna Dry Cider is something
to try with a slice of lemon.
Of course, Finnish alternatives and the more usual tap
ciders are available as well.
The pub is also well-sized
for an event or party. Besides the Finnish beers, a range of more
exotic ones is available. If beer or cider are
not your game, the bars are
teeming with plenty of other drinks, such as liqueurs,
long drinks and sparkling
wine. Customers are reportedly a diverse bunch. Even non-alcoholic
beer and cider are available.
If you wish to spend the
evening in a cozy, laid-back
pub with a Finnish attitude
and British style, give Gaselli a try. The competition is
a good way for an aspiring
chef to have reputation. It is worth a visit for
its old age and sentimental
value alone. The mine is still in order, mainly for the mining
of limestone 380 metres
under the ground.
As for the food, people?s responses are promising; however, you have
to pay for its peculiarity.

Celebrating
three years of Chinese
holistic massage in Helsinki
EXPAT VIEW
Our beautiful facility in Helsinki is a genuine Chinese oasis to
which you are heartfelt welcome. Dial 112. Banks are usually open Mon-Fri
9:15-16:15 except for the bank at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport, which
is open 6-22 daily. In fact, I was
invited by friends to spend
this Christmas in eastern
Finland. I was
welcomed with open arms,
and enjoyed a lovely few days
of good food, sauna, and majestic scenery. In
particular the new library
has become a place of both
of zen and camaraderie, a
place where I can equally
get things done or procrastinate. I couldn?t have
asked for more.
I?ll leave the stereotypes
for others to create and consume, I?d rather just explore
and experience- and Finland
is the perfect place for it.
Lapland is next!

Matthew Mitchell is a marathoner & Master?s Student, from Vancouver, Canada.
Helsinki is a great companion
in August from
Vancouver with no expectations, and little knowledge
of what was to become my
home for the next two years.
I heard many of the usual stereotypes that every place acquires and ignored them so
I could experience Helsinki,
Finland and Finnish culture
with an open mind- and Finland has not disappointed!
I recently completed my
?rst semester at the University, and it has become a
home away from home. The beautiful Finnish geography has
been a delightful surprise,
and is equally, if not more
so with the coming of snow.
The same intricate pathways
I ran on in the autumn, continue to serve as my training
ground now as well-groomed
cross country ski trails that
turn exercise into an adventure in winter wonderland.
