It has been now 1.5 months that I’m working in Finland and overall the adaptation hasn’t been difficult. Obviously I’m quite used now changing countries and environment often, so I don’t make a big deal of it. Sure it’s sometimes a bit more difficult to communicate as Finnish don’t speak that much, but it’s a professional environment so it works out.

On the other hand, there are things that I would have definitively never experienced in France, like such a place for a project kick-off event…

I’m not really surprised actually. Saunas are very important here. I have even seen a dedicated magazine to saunas among the home improvements magazines. We have a sauna at work, there is one in my apartment building, every house has one and most apartments too.

Personally I have learnt to enjoy saunas. It makes you feel really good after. There will be definitively one in our house!
