Okay, so Nokia just dropped three phones onto us,
and they're pretty crazy, and by 'crazy' I mean 'sort of ugly.' I have
to cop to sort of liking the Tron-style and the asymetrical design -
the one round corner, one square corner 'new Nokia' look - but I have
a feeling I'll be in the minority. Would it kill them to just release
a nice, silver phone that you could take home to mom?
Anyway, here's the breakdown, and I'll probably go after this post
in a couple of waves. The one pictured here is the Nokia 7280, which
you might notice doesn't have a keypad. That's because Nokia designed
it to be "sleek," "sexy," and "edgy." (I'm not joking.)

Ever since the Washington Post started doing their 'Finland Journal'
blog I've been thinking about saying something, but wanted to wait
until they had finished the series and until I had enough time to
think about what I wanted to say without sounding like one of the many
wackjobs, both Finnish and American, whose comments ranged from
explaining how to pronounce SOW-na to ranting about the Swedish
Fascist oppression in Finland to bickering about nothing. Mostly I
just found the commentary deeply depressing as monoculture was praised
as the reason for all the good things in Finland and the reason for
all the bad things in the US a bit more often than I found
comfortable. I come from one of the most fucked up nations on the
planet, but I'm awfully glad for the variety of people there since it
is the greatest asset the US has in terms of creativity and
innovation. Being a threat to this vaunted Finnish monoculture is not
a fun place to be at times. Some expats just complain, some never do
and the rest of us try to get on with life as best as we can and
occasionally, cautiously, commiserate over beer and try to focus on
the positive things as much as possible. One of the reasons I like my
'cookery' is that it's fun to explore the differences in cuisine, I'm
reasonably good at it, it's something positive, and nobody hates the
person who brings tasty treats for afternoon coffee. :)
There has been a lot of criticism among the foreigners, and even a Phinn, here about the series since visiting somewhere
as a journalist on an official junket likely sponsored by the state
vs. living here are two very different experiences and given the
inevitable superficiality of the WP coverage, a lot of us were
disappointed. One of the reasons that Finland is supposedly the
"country that Americans know least about" is that aside from the usual
Santa, sauna and sisu stories, very little else gets written in
English about this country. I've taken to collecting books on travel
to Finland, some more than 100 years old, and I could match the topics
nearly 1:1 with the old travelogues to the Finland Journal coverage.
In fact, I think I liked the bitchy and less fawning Mrs. Tweedie's
Through Finland in Carts from 1898 much better as, in
spite of her unsavoury British imperialism, she was a far more snarky
and entertaining writer. But, again, same shit, different century.
Surely, even the Finns must bore of this though the clichés are what
keep the tourists coming. It's like the hackneyed 'pahk ya cah in
Havahd Yahd' and Paul Revere legends of Boston. The Boston strangler,
townies and Southie don't get a lot of press since they aren't exactly
attractive to locals much less to tourists.
For the expats, there's precisely dick to prepare them for what
awaits them making a life here. Trying to explain how Finland differs
for residents as opposed to tourists to the newly arrived is a chore
since you either sound bitter or are constantly doubting your own
experience of everything in a miasma of cultural relativism and
personal baggage. A lot of us come to live here because we have a
spouse/SO, a spouse/SO who very likely does not have an objective view
or an understanding of the difference between being Finnish and being
not Finnish in Finland. I was in quite a sulk for a few weeks after I
met an Aus-Fin couple who had moved here and, after two months, the
Australian was escaping in defeat after being told repeatedly in
interviews that her education credentials were worthless in Finland,
the downside of an educational system regarded, and which regards
itself, so highly. Her boyfriend seemed completely surprised by this
and felt badly for not being a better judge of his own country. With
the dearth of realistic information for those wanting to move here,
many have no other choice than to trust their Finnish loved one which
may or may not prove to be the best option. This seems to happen more
often than not as expats don't often stay for more than a few years
before giving up and heading back home, with or without the spouse/SO.
I don't know if immigration actually keeps track of those who leave
and why, but it would be interesting to see the average length of stay
for expats as I expect it is generally very short. How many of the
foreigners work for Nokia would also be an interesting statistic.
The question this raises is why do people leave? Finland is, in many
ways, a lovely country, but why do expats frequently only stay for a
short while? It's an important question, one few seem curious about or
willing to discuss. The most frequent rebuttals to any criticism or
merely mentioning that life here can be a challenge is that it's "the
same everywhere" or that we can always just pack up and go home.
Ironically, I would expect this sort of chiding from red state
Americans. I think that this might be at the heart of much of our
nebulous reasons for struggle here; that Finland is a young country,
even by American standards, and with a long history of fighting off
invading outsiders, Finland has developed a very, very strong streak
of nationalism. What's wrong with nationalism? Well, after 9/11, I saw
neighbours wanting to beat the shit out of the grocers down the street
who had been there for over 20 years because suddenly they were those
dark towel heads, "them", who flew into the WTC instead of the two
brothers who had been selling them their groceries for decades.
Nationalism separates as much as it binds and mostly it just makes
people blind and monumentally stupid.
One of the first memorable experiences was while walking HB down
Bulevardi about a week after arriving here and running into a smiling
little old lady who wanted to pet him and started chatting me up. As
soon as I started to say something the smile fell off her face which
was replaced by a scowl full of scorn whereupon she screeched
something, waved me off and stalked away in a huff. I was like, what
the fuck just happened? This would be repeated quite a few times and,
in spite of being able to rationalise the behaviour, first impressions
tend to be difficult to change. I remain rather shy about being busted
as a foreigner and still have a very difficult time daring to say
anything to strangers. In the dog park, I'll stand around
understanding everything the other dog owners are saying but don't
join the conversation which has, on occasion, marked me as a foreigner
just as much as saying something would have. :)
Generally, it's the small things, the day to day things, the very
difficult to define things, that make life as an outsider here a daily
struggle. Learning the language is the single largest hurdle in
bridging the gap and becoming less of an alien, but after two years
I'm still cautious, still shy, still neurotic about speaking it to the
point of avoiding situations where I might have to say something to
someone because I'm scared of being busted as an outsider. We all have
little defensive tactics like this, depending on our individual
hang-ups and struggles. One of my friends visited home a while back
and she remarked in an email that she was in awe of how suddenly aware
she was of how the little daily things in Finland make life so much
more work than back in the realm of the friendly familiarity of home.
Some things, however, aren't so vague, but these are the things we
don't talk about or quietly discuss amongst ourselves because they're
either too depressing to dwell upon or tend to be met with
vituperative attacks. There are things endemic to being an expat, a
foreigner in a strange land, that often make you wonder if it's you,
if you're not trying hard enough or if it's the culture that is
responsible for the discontent and many things often do have simple
explanations, if not simple solutions. I have lived elsewhere and,
given the culture and the language barrier, Finland is a very
challenging place to find a happy niche whether or not any Finns want
to hear or acknowledge that. It's not a destination for the easily
discouraged or the impatient.
Recently, I had the pleasure of talking to a couple with two adorable
basset hounds who had just returned to Finland after 7 years abroad
who remarked at how "international" Helsinki seemed nowadays. There
are many words I'd use to describe Helsinki, most of them nice even,
but international wouldn't be one of them. Being part of the EU while
rejecting or reluctantly accepting some of the things that come with
being part of the EU, like foreigners, doesn't make a place
international any more than dining out at a Nepalese restaurant makes
you a world traveller. This doesn't mean Finland should aspire to the
problems of the Netherlands, but acknowledging the problems that exist
here for foreigners might be something to consider since people do
generally tend to stay in places that they feel welcome in and
Finland, either intentionally or not, often gives outsiders the
impression that we are either not welcome or just merely tolerated. If
Finland doesn't want foreigners, it should really just pull out of the
EU and close the borders.
So, I suppose the point of my rambling is that there are at least a
few of us around who like it here and are trying with sincerity to
learn the language, fit in and get along like everyone else but there
are so many conflicting messages between what we read in the paper or
hear from our spouses and what we actually experience at times that it
makes it difficult to reconcile the disparity and still keep on
trying. It's a struggle. It's like bloody musical chairs watching all
the expats leave one by one.

The Helsingin Sanomat ran an article in the paper earlier this week
about the growing number of wireless access points in Helsinki and
around Finland. The article included a nice map noting the locations
which I scanned in and offer here in a small ~60k jpg and a large ~240k jpg. It seems
that most of the current hot spots are catering to the business
traveller judging from the number of hotels and business centers
listed. There are a few cafes and a movie theatre or two listed though
and my hope is that it finds sufficient interest to keep spreading.
I've had wireless at home for years now and find it luxurious to sit
on the couch with my laptop even now. I'd really like to see WiFi in
public libraries in addition to more coffee shops since students would
benefit a lot from being able to use their own computer while doing
research or homework.
There are two companies offering WiFi; Sonera and DNA. DNA seems to
be geared more towards the local geeks and ala carte folks while
Sonera is mainly in the hotel and business traveller market. Sonera Homerun doesn't appear to have a pricing
structure on the net. The DNA WLAN service has three different price plans which
range from €5 per month with a per minute fee to €90 for
those with a serious porn habit and large downloads.
Until mobile phones get much more sophisticated displays, surfing the
net or reading email with them more than occasionally isn't as
attractive as having a small laptop and WiFi in convenient spots
around town. WiFi really means WIreless FInland. :)
