While refusing to elaborate on the reforms in public, Katainen revealed that the preliminary list compiled at the Ministry of Finance aims at enhancing the pro?tability of the public sector, extending careers and improving the employment rate. ?Finnish exports are growing at the second-slowest rate in the eurozone, outpacing only Greek exports. Therefore, we must take measures which strengthen competitiveness,. ?Reducing interest rates, as ?oated by Olli Rehn [the European Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs], could be the answer,. ?And if you lower the interest rates, our revenue will fall.? ?However, we have yet to decide on slashing [the debt],.

Structural problems On Monday, Katainen reiterated the need for structural reforms to a congenial audience of policy-makers and labour market representa- tives at a seminar on the state of the economy in Vantaa, insisting that time and global economic growth will not alleviate Finland?s structural problems. According to a recent study conducted by chief physician Risto Vataja, the youngest person to undergo a lobotomy in Finland between 1946-1969 was 12 years old.

At present, they are studying a disturbance at Linnunlaulu in Helsinki. Himmanen says that the problem with disturbances of the train phone system is common in the whole of Europe, and an EU-wide solution is being sought. ?One alternative is installing ?lters in the radios to prevent the interference caused by the commercial networks.? The Finnish Transport Agency is in favour of limiting the signal power until radios that can better cope with interference are installed onboard trains. union, Veturimiesten liitto, some of them have contacted the union because of this problem. Elonen has been informed that the interruptions in the availability of the network have started to in?uence the engineers. The change is expected to enter into force next year. ?At present, the Finnish Transport Agency and the train operators have no legal means of protecting themselves from the interference,. more time to update their hardware. ST T TA RU L A I H O . The parties have not reached an agreement on how the problem should be resolved, however. Onboard phones do not work at stations According to the Finnish Transport Agency, 10 to 15 locations where the onboard GSM-R calls get disconnected have been identi?ed between Helsinki and Hämeenlinna. The ?lters cannot be installed until the EU has reformed its Directive on the railway system. There have recently been no reports on interference caused by the commercial networks to the GSM-R network. The parties also agreed how the background noise caused by commercial networks in the train communications network can be lessened. The Swedish plan on ensuring availability of the GSM-R network extends until 2025. The problem is caused by the fact that the GSM-R network?s frequency is very close to the 900 MHz frequency used by telecommunications operators. The Swedish transport agency Tra?kverket, the local telecommunications authority PTS and the commercial operators were able to come up with an agreement. In Sweden, telecommunications operators must limit the strength of their signals close to railways until the end of June 2015. radio sets. ?The operators could use other frequencies, whereas the directive on the interoperability of the rail system within the European Union does not offer railways any other alternative,.

STT has been informed that the onboard personnel have been worried about the unreliable network. work since the spring. ?The problem is not limited to the Helsinki region only. It will spread to other parts of Finland, too: all the trains use the same network.? The owner of Raili, the Finnish Transport Agency, and the party monitoring the use of radio frequencies, the Finnish Communications Regulatory Authority (FICORA), are aware of the problem. When a train is at a standstill in one of these places, Raili is not available. says Senior Inspector Voutilainen. According to the Finnish Transport Agency, a transition period would also give more time for the users of the GSM-R network . Most of the shadow zones are at stations. In case of interference, onboard communications are handled using backup systems which utilise the commercial telecommunications networks. Sweden agreed on limiting signals until 2015 IN SWEDEN, at least a temporary reprieve has been achieved between the GSMR rail network and the commercial networks. The commercial networks block the trains. According to the Finnish Transport Agency, this is not enough to guarantee that the current train phone system will work without problems. Current Directive does not allow the use of filters According to Heidi Himmanen, head of FICORA?s Radio Communications Monitoring Team, FICORA resolves network disturbances on a case-by-case basis. The temporary limitation offers more time for installing new ?lters that will reduce interference onboard trains, for example. The limitation entered into force last December.

The Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority (KKV) has uncovered cases in which providers have imposed actual annual interest rates of over one hundred per cent on their credits. says Nina Lahtinen, a development manager at the Trade Union of Education in Finland (OAJ). A recent bill to improve the classroom environment forwards no such revisions but would allow teachers to con?scate objects they deem disruptive. By the 2000s, this had changed drastically. Statistics Finland announced. The richest Finns are not the bene?ciaries, however, as their proportion has also shrunk. Few, however, are likely to ?le a claim for a lost energy drink. Teacher-parent co-operation key The OAJ refuses to comment on whether energy drinks should be prohibited in schools. HT-STT Tuomioja calls for efforts to prevent data protection infringements Minister for Foreign Affairs Erkki Tuomioja (SDP) called for rigorous measures to prevent infringements of data protection while delivering his speech at the Annual Meeting of Finnish Heads of Missions on Monday. ?In 2010, the average disposable income per consumption unit was 26,970 euros for owneroccupiers and 16,150 euros for renters. On the other hand, the rising of rents has increased differences in consumption possibilities between owner-occupier and rental dweller households.? Finland?s progressive taxes and income redistribution system seeks to lower these differences. The planned reductions, which principally concern staff members in Finland and China, are part of UPM?s rationalising programme announced earlier this month. Tuomioja views that the revelations from recent weeks are an indication of the need for ef?cient counter-measures. The forestry company also revealed on Tuesday that it is mulling over outsourcing its accounting functions. ?However, it has also meant smaller tax deduction bene?ts. Those who have a mortgage spend 10 per cent of their disposable income on their homes, while those who are free of debt spend 9 per cent. ?The low loan interest rates in recent years have brought down the housing costs of owner-occupier households,?

HT TEACHERS in Finnish primary schools demand more control over what pupils are allowed to bring to the classroom. However, the minister also acknowledged that establishing international norms to combat online espionage will not be easy, as data protection, Internet freedom and security interests must all be taken into consideration. On the other hand, teachers would be allowed to con?scate alcohol from pupils, which is currently not possible without the consent of the guardian or police. Consequently, the OAJ urges policy-makers to place more con?dence in the judgement of principals and teachers. says Lahtinen, who personally believes energy drinks should not be a part of the school day. As a result, the authority has requested reports from several instant loan providers on whether the terms and conditions of their credits are indeed equivalent to what is stated on their web-pages. Under the current legislation, teachers are not allowed to con?scate, for example, energy drinks from pupils, although it may be the practice in many schools. Tuomioja listed. Aside from calling on Finnish fans to wear white to the game to identify themselves, he enthused that they have also started their campaign to paint the stadium white.

The highest three deciles had 43.2 per cent. The poorest only had 16.3 per cent of income, while the share of the richest increased to 47.9 per cent. However, during the 2000s this trend changed somewhat. The poorest decile had its share of income fall from 4.3 per cent to 4.0 per cent, but the richest also had a decline, from 23.3 per cent to 22.2 per cent. Although the members are clearly assigned, Paatelainen knows that the Finnish defence is able to pose a major obstacle for the star-studded Spanish team. Paatelainen may hope for enthusiastic backing from the stands in Helsinki Olympic Stadium, where Finland will meet the Spanish side on 6 September. Today, if a teacher con?scates an object from a pupil, they can ?le a complaint and, in principle, also seek compensation for the lost possession, she also reveals.

MORE Construction recovering According to Statistics Finland, almost all industries have had more companies declare they are unable to pay their debts. For the young Lewis Hamiltons, the bene?t is personalised help and ?nancial support as they prepare for their pro career. MANY I BELIEVE such a system could be used by corporations for similar bene?ts, because the most important key to the future for a sports team or a company is skilled people. Uusimaa, which includes the greater Helsinki region, is home to the companies and the most bankruptcies: 600 during the ?rst seven months of 2013, up from 549 last year. Here is their opportunity to help mould the exact type of employees they need. STUDENTS would certainly bene?t as well.

It is important to realise that these programs are small and focused to better give personalised attention. even with workers. our current recession and growing unemployment rate. Most corporate programs would have youngsters numbering in the dozens, not thousands. The construction industry already went through their period of extreme suffering during the ?nancial recession, and cyclically they are better off than some other sectors of the economy. In miscellaneous services, 507 corporations declared bankruptcy in the January . If anything, they are scaling back in developed countries such as Finland. The electronics and metals industries were particularly hard hit in the spring, but food and electricity were signi?cantly improved from spring 2012. Most bankrupt companies are small The recession is not impacting all regions of the country uniformly. Satakunta, Kymenlaakso, Central Finland and Kainuu all enjoyed drops in the number of bankrupt ?rms. Turnover in service industries also improved during the spring, with arts, entertainment and recreation leading the way with a 7.5 per cent gain. With the domestic consumer assuming a larger share of the economy as exporters decline, this was considered as good news. Manufacturers had a more mixed picture. Some regions had extremely high spikes in the number of bankrupt companies. Yet we have to realise that the job growth of the future is not going to come from large corporations. Where 113 hotels and restaurants declared bankruptcy in the part half of 2012, 138 did during the ?rst seven months of this year. 206 manufacturing and mining companies are insolvent so far this year, up from 203 in 2012. In June, Statistics Finland said the economy has stopped shrinking, and Eurostat believes it may have extended to the entire second quarter. Retail trade increased 2.3 per cent in July. Job growth will come from small companies and start-ups.

The following is an excerpt from her interview with The Jakarta Post?s Nadya Natahadibrata. Question: What percentage of your national budget is spent on education? Answer: Finland allocates a lot of money for education compared to other countries, but I can?t say exactly what the percentage is. Question: I think around 20 per cent of your state budget is put toward education. Answer: It?s a bit complicated because the municipalities in Finland are responsible for basic services, and the school system is considered a basic service.

I had the MRI the same day, and when I phoned for the results on Monday, I was told that I had to come in immediately. I was just driving as fast as I could, really on the edge of panic. At the hospital the ?rst nurse didn?t really understand English terribly well, but then a second nurse came and within minutes a doctor was checking him. She was given a popsicle, so I asked if Amelia could have one as well. Worse, the skin looked puffy . I was thinking that he might have got it out of his system at that point, but I noticed he had also developed a bit of a rash. I decided to give him a bath to cool him down a bit, and then realised that he was really red all over. and yet she had drunk exactly what we had been given. 4 SEPTEMBER 2013 15 15 L E H T I K U VA / RO N I L E H T I While demand for private healthcare is increasing, Finland?s public healthcare remains one of the best in the world. A variety of experiences are had every day in Finnish hospitals by patients and their families. YA N N I C K I L U N G A HEL SINKI TIMES have been so endlessly discussed and so bitterly disputed during the past few years as the future of Finnish healthcare. In that respect it was really good, and the nurses checked him every few minutes afterwards. They were really nice and understanding. From the moment you call 112 they talk you through it. They spoke great English and were really helpful. From memory, we didn?t pay anything at all. They told us that we probably wouldn?t need to stay the night, but then we didn?t see anyone for two or three hours. They told me that Amelia would have to stay for the night and go on a drip because she hadn?t had enough liquid . I didn?t get to talk to them much, and I saw two or three different people. We stayed there for half an hour while he was observed, and he started to feel better. The doctor was really quick and thorough, because they know how dangerous it can be. They did apologise for making me sleep in the cleaning cupboard! But they are very hurried and got my name wrong a couple of times. I would use public healthcare again, because it was incredibly cheap and the operation went completely ?ne. The whole thing cost 60 euros per night, including the surgery. There was only the one bed, so I had to try and make a bed for Minea and myself out of two chairs. She had spoken to Lastenklinikka and they had told her to get an ambulance instead. So all three of us had Roto or Nora virus, whichever it was. The doctors were friendly, but nobody was over 28! There didn?t seem to be anyone older or more experienced around. I did ask, but was told that we would not be given any because Amelia was going to be released. As luck would have it, my wife was going out. He quite quickly seemed to develop a stomach ache, but I didn?t want to overreact. I know some people have had the operation privately, but it costs so much more?.probably thousands. Based on this experience, I?m quite happy with the service. Frank?s story We had my in-laws over and were having a few snacks, including a bag of mixed nuts. My son is only two and a half. We thought that he might have eaten a couple, but we weren?t quite sure. Finally, the doctor came at 00.30. To make matters worse, my younger daughter Minea (5) was also developing symptoms. We got there at around 19.30, and a nurse quickly took blood tests and isolated us, thinking Amelia might be contagious. I was sleeping on the ?oor downstairs at home because I was too exhausted to go up- Elisa?s story I had been having trouble with a sore back for months, but in April one of my legs started to feel numb. Through my work I was able to go to Mehiläinen (a private clinic) and was referred from there to Töölö Hospital for an MRI scan. I was diagnosed as having an inter-vertebral herniation, or a prolapsed disk. It?s basically a bulge between two spinal vertebrae, which compresses the nerve . Because the hospital was full I was put in a spare room, which had been a cleaning cupboard, but was now used for storing equipment or something. Someone came to see me every so often, and said that I would be operated on in two hours. But every time it seemed that I might be going in to surgery, a more urgent case appeared and the surgeons took that. It may even be a little better here. Of course I understand that they take urgent cases ?rst, but still?it was frustrating. The next morning I was put into a proper room. He?s had some allergy problems in the past, so we kept an eye on him that afternoon. There is not much of a real doctor-patient relationship because they have so little time. I was amazed that the nurse actually had to go and ask permission before giving her one! A couple of days later Amelia was still sick, so I called a private doctor to come and see her, which cost 150 euros. He said that she needed to go back on the drip, and told us that she had been released too quickly. In an era where more and more people use private services, the public system can appear to some to be unwieldy and inef?cient. At around 22.00, I asked where the doctor was and was told that she was very busy. So I had to buy food and juice from an automat machine. By this time Minea had started to get worse. That isn?t the kind of care I would expect in Italy. The worst of it was that I got the same virus three days later and had to spend a day at Töölö Hospital myself. I asked whether that was really necessary and the doctor said, ?Not if you don?t mind being paralysed!? So I went straight in, of course. They gave him an adrenaline shot and he started to improve almost immediately. 4 SEPTEMBER 2013 29 AUGUST . almost like blisters. One seemed to be having one of his ?rst days, asking a lot of questions that didn?t seem relevant . We went back to Lastenklinikka and this time they put her on a drip straight away. She got worse during the afternoon, so I decided to take her to Lastenklinikka. On the other hand, others perceive it to be a massive step up from services on hand in a lot of other Western countries. Amidst the variety of perspectives, here are the experiences of three residents living in the Capital Region: Debora, from Italy and now living in Tammisalo; Elisa, who lives in Pohjois-Haaga; and Frank from The Netherlands, who now lives in Vantaa. FEW TOPICS Debora?s story My daughter Amelia (7) was suffering from vomiting and diarrhoea, and seemed very weak. you have to wonder how experienced he was. In future I would use private health care if we could afford to. I waited all night. There was no bed and she was eventually released at 4:30 am. But then after my wife left, he threw up. I could have stayed another night, but felt I?d rather be home. The doctors seemed busy, but ef?cient. Their thinking was that his airway could close, in which case by car it could be too late. I stopped the car and dialled 112. I was not allowed to eat anything before the operation except some nutritional drinks, and I was put on a drip. They even told me to stay on the phone in case he stopped breathing on the way! It was terrifying. I explained everything; that he was conscious, breathing normally and K U VA L E H T I / V I L J A V E H K A O J A In good health stairs to bed. If I could come back in two days I wouldn?t have to wait, because they could book the OR. A few days later I had the operation, which was all ?ne. I only stayed one night in hospital. HEALTH HELSINKI HELSINKI TIMESTIMES 29 AUGUST . If I compare the services in Finland with those in Holland, I?d say it is fairly similar. But in any case we would have had to go to a public hospital for things like the drip, because private doctors cannot do those things. Perceptions of public healthcare in Finland can vary widely. seemed to be quite alert. They told me to drive to Vantaa hospital instead, because it was closer. If we had been told all of this earlier, I could have arranged for a friend to take Minea, but I had kept her with me simply because we had been told that Amelia would not need to stay overnight. In the morning we were not given any breakfast. It doesn?t make any sense to me to ask a very sick child to sleep in a chair and then release her in the middle of the night. So I called my wife, and headed straight for Lastenklinikka. A minute later my wife called me back. After 24 hours, and when the doctor saw that I could still walk, he suggested that I go home until they had time to do the operation. In Holland they have been merging a lot of hospitals, so the new super-hospitals aren?t always so friendly or ef?cient.. If you are only there one night you may not see the same doctor twice. The nurses were all really great, even though they were so busy. causing the numbness in the leg. It all happened very quickly. They told us that they would get back to us with the results of the blood test, and a nurse brought rehydration liquid for Amelia

So when Choi?s Korea House moved in the following year he reinstated the windows to their former glory and thus winning over the people of the neighbourhood, and a healthy amount of new customers, Choi chuckles. After ending the very satisfying food experience with some rice wine as a digestive, I ascend the few stairs separating us from the street feeling thoroughly educated in the basics of Korean cuisine and a bit more familiar with the Korean culture.

With my sudden gain of agility, I soon ?nd myself stuffed, satis?ed and happy with my newly initiated relationship with Korean cuisine. A much appreciated alternative to the countless Thai and Chinese restaurants I?ve frequented over the years, and up until now a hidden gem amongst Helsinki?s Oriental offerings. Korean pioneers After the meal, Choi sits down with me for a cup of coffee (Finnish, by the taste of it) and tells me how Korea House came to be and why in 2005, he and his wife and head chef Misuk Lim decided to move to Finland after a decade-long restaurant venture back in South Korea, and become the pioneers of Korean cuisine in Finland. ?Nowadays there are quite a few Korean tourists coming to Finland and before Korea House there were no other restaurants where, after a long trip, the weary and homesick Koreans could get Korean food. Choi explains. dress welcome me in, and if it?s not enough to set the mood, some soothing, melodic Oriental music soon becomes detectable in the background. Skimming through the detail-rich interior of Korea House, some pillars covered with Korean letters, large moon-shaped jars and a miniature pond complete with a rice wheel catches my eye, before waitress Dahn Kim brings some tea to the table I?ve seated myself in. So there were quite a few reasons why we decided to come.? It was not easy to build up a customer base in Finland at the start, Choi tells me, as the majority of Finns were not familiar with Korean cuisine at the time. In 1952, the place received a face lift in the form of three watercoloured windows. The windows were however taken down in 2004 by a new restaurant owner at the premises, much to the outrage of the locals. But even though kimchi is a side dish, you can still make very numerous main dishes with it,? she explains. At this point Kim urges me to try a piece of the somewhat spicy kimchi together with some of the mildly marinated beef, which turns out to be easier said than done as I?ve had some slight technical problems with the customary iron chop sticks throughout the meal. After adding rice to the stew at Choi?s rec- E VA B L A N C O E VA B L A N C O 16 Nepalese Cuisine Since 1993 The Oldest Nepalese Restaurant in Finland Salomonkatu 19, Helsinki Tel.

There is also some kimchi accompanying the meal, a presence familiar to many if not most of the dishes. ?I guess it?s pretty interesting that we always offer kimchi and reddish pickles, as a side dish,. and mixes the whole dish together.

R A SMUS HE TEM ÄKI HEL SINKI TIMES THE BEST way to become familiar with Korean culture in Helsinki is not by stumbling into the South Korean embassy in Finland unannounced, but to step into the Korea House restaurant found within the aesthetically pleasing Kruununhaka neighbourhood. Being the ?rst Korean restaurant in Helsinki, in fact, until recently the only one found anywhere in the whole country, Korea House has adopted the task of educating Finns about Korean culture in the most pleasant of fashions: by feeding us traditional Korean dishes and presenting customers with authentic Korean artifacts found scattered around the restaurant. Various tastes As I savour the last of the tea, feeling healthier already, Kim begins ?lling the small table to is like,. Fortunately she recognises the issue at hand by witnessing my clumsy ?nger movements and soon more familiar wooden chop sticks are brought to the table.

But after some years the customers began piling up and with the Finns making up the overwhelming majority of the clientele, it seems like Korea House succeeded in striking a chord with the Finnish dining culture. I also found out the reason behind the water-coloured windows outside and how they helped win over the locals, as Choi ?lls me in on the background of the place.

The Bulgogi (?19.50), which contains strips of beef and stir-fried vegetables in a mild marinade has a delightfully sweet taste to it while the Jabchebap (?14.50) beef dish offers a taste of their glass noodles made of sweet potato, which make for a reinvigorating side-option for the rice. The multiple layers present in the hot pot opposite me are also complementing each other nicely, with the chilli paste again producing that desirable jolt to the meal. The balance of the spicy and mild, or if resorting to a bit of Chinese philosophy, the Yin and Yang extends itself to the whole meal with all its different components, as the two other dishes present are much milder than the hot pots.

Canada/2000. 02.15 My Strange Addiction HELSINKI TIMES ATOM Project calls for minute of silence on 29 August THE ATOM Project calls on all people of the world to observe a minute of silence on 29 August, the UN International Day Against Nuclear Tests, in memor y of all victims of nuclear weapons testing. The moment of silence is proposed for 11.05 a.m. Already, more than 70,000 people from more than 100 countries have signed The ATOM Project?s online petition at: www.TheATOMProject.org. From 1949 to 1991, the USSR conducted more than 450 nuclear weapons tests at the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site in eastern Kazakhstan, bringing illness and death to more than 1.5 million people in the region and radioactive pollution to a huge swath of land. In the second part of the 20th century, nuclear tests were conducted by the United States, China, France and Britain as they developed their nuclear arsenals, as well as India and Pakistan. Earlier in 2013, the Democratic People?s Republic of Korea, defying United Nations Security Council resolutions, conducted another of its own nuclear weapons tests, drawing wide international rebuke. In a special online message dedicated to the fourth annual observance of August 29, 2013, the International Day Against Nuclear Tests, UN Secretary General Ban Kimoon urged the international community to ?maintain our momentum to end nuclear weapons testing and promote the achievement of a world free of nuclear weapons. ?The strong and uni?ed response to the nuclear test announced in February by the Democratic People?s Republic of Korea demonstrated the international community?s commitment to uphold the global norm against nuclear tests,? the UN Secretary General said. ?The Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty is a cornerstone of our work. Let us work together to end nuclear weapons testing around the world and build a nuclear weapons-free world for our children,.

But now my experiences have helped me to understand other countries as well. I?d like to share my several culture shocks in both Japan and Finland while staying in Japan for one month and in Finland for one week. The ?rst shock that frustrated me in Japan was that I felt that several salespersons in Japan weren?t friendly, and offered their service like automatons, especially in the young generation. For instance, some bus drivers didn?t make eye contact at all, simply because this is the cultural difference.

Jason Ivors Skilled Carpenter 0440 100 538 jason@ivorsconstruction.fi www.ivorsconstruction.fi. These days the other shocks toward Finland has started since I came back here. To be honest, the funny adventure in which I evaluated my home countries, Finland and Japan, from the different viewpoints that comes from two cultures, provided me with a smooth adjustment to another culture. 4 SEPTEMBER 2013 23 WELLBEING Helsinki H elsiinnki ki TTime Times imes iPad edition SOLUTION SUDOKU Celebrating three years of Chinese holistic massage in Helsinki Our beautiful facility in Helsinki is a genuine Chinese oasis to which you are heartfelt welcome. Even though I lived in Japan for about 20 years and in Finland for one, those ?newly untouched cultures?, AFTER where I completely forgot about common rules in Japan or Finland, caused me some confusion. However, whenever she did that in WANTED front of me, I always asked her, ?Why do you need to eat those seeds even if you?re not a hamster?? The second things that I?ve been confused about in Finland is why Finnish people in service jobs like at the supermarket or on the train seem to serve their customers pretty impolitely, even though Finns would like to help foreigners who don?t know how to get around in Finland. CLASSIFIEDS & SERVICES HELSINKI TIMES 29 AUGUST . I?ve seen my Finnish friend sprinkling sun?ower and pumpkin seeds on the salad. Even if I tried to speak with them in a friendly way, in order to make some inquiries directly, their service gave me the impression that I was making small talk with a service machine. In this series expatriates write about their lives in Finland. The other astonishing disappointment in Japan was the large number of people in the small isolated islands, and that I couldn?t take my time. I am still unable to conclude whether Finns are kind or friendly. To my surprise, this article of mine seems like I?m criticising both of my favourite countries, but my understanding of different cultures has never occurred to me negatively or harmfully. The thing I?d like to keep in mind living in another country is that I?m quite curious to know about lots of separate ideas so that I can adjust smoothly. Have you got expat views? Helsinki Times runs a column series called EXPAT VIEWS, where we publish voluntary contributions written by expats, and we?re interested in your experiences. Share your funny, memorable, frustrating or great experiences of Finland with our readers. People in Japan don?t have suf?cient time to enjoy their slow life as in Finland. Probably this is because of different ideas regarding how often and how to take a break for themselves. Surprisingly to me, the ?rst unbelievable food culture in Finland was the vegetable salad that included a variety of fruits such as watermelon or pineapple. Success of the largest chain of spas in China, Liangtse, continues in Europe. Initially, on the way to the airport closest to my house, I was incredibly excited to know what had changed while I was in Finland. However, the moment I left the Finnair airplane, the things outside made me disappointed to have to endure the month that I was required to be there. I never experienced such incredibly limited space and massive crowds in Finland. Hundreds of customers visit our facility in Helsinki each month to receive holistic treatment and relaxing massage.
