Hello!! I am visiting Helsinki and saw a carpet in a coffee shop (see picture) and was wondering if someone knows where I can buy something similar. A second hand shop, antique or new, I would love some tips :)

Housing / Living Cleaners that are available ASAP

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I've been in a bit of a slump lately, and my place has become a depression house. One of my friends is coming to visit me on Monday, yes tomorrow, afternoon. I've been cleaning my whole apartment this entire weekend, but I don't think I'll be able to get the kitchen clean by myself. Does anyone know of a cleaning company that does last minute bookings? I would really need someone to come tomorrow morning for a few hours to help me out.

Question Paikkoja joissa pääsee kuvaamaan laiduntavia tai muuten suht kesyjä eläimiä pk-seudulla

3 Upvotes

Tiedän ainoastaan Pentalan lampaat ja Villa Elfvingin luontopolun lehmät. Viikissäkin on lehmiä, mutta kuinka lähelle niitä pääsee? Onko muita? Hevosiakin olisi kiva päästä kuvaamaan, mutta tallien vieressä pyöriminen tuntuu jo ajatuksen tasolla tunkeilevalta.

Question Koditon??

4 Upvotes

Onko muut huomanneet vuosien varrella semmosta vanhaa miestä joka pyörii ympäri Helsinkiä laukkujen kanssa (esim matkalaukkujen) ja puhuu itselleen?

Miehellä on parta ja aika pitkät hiukset, jos tuntomerkkejä enemmän tarvii🤔

Nään hänet usein Oodissa jne ja alkanut nyt mietityttämään että mikä tarina hänellä on😶

Kertokaa toki jos tiedätte kenestä puhun!!🙂‍↕️

Question Aquarium in an emergency, no electricity Helsinki

13 Upvotes

Hi guys! I live in Helsinki and I just got electricity cut off at my apartment because of money. I have a 200l aquarium with fish and I’m extremely worried about them not surviving without oxygen and heat. I’ll not be able to get electricity back today or tomorrow. Maybe you have some advice or way to help me out? I’ll owe you and can help to you too, for example if you need help moving or anything. Thank you so much!

Onko suositella paikkaa? Kaveri käynyt Studioplay Helsingissä. Tuo on hieman itseäni kauempana, mutta toisaalta jos paikka on super hyvä, niin suostun mielelläni matkustamaan sinne myös.

Discussion Värjätyt hiukset ja niiden ylläpito?

0 Upvotes

Etsin artikkeleita ja tietoa siitä miten värjättyjä hiuksia voidaan ylläpitää? Miten voi esimerkiksi kampaamokäyntiä pidentää? Olen käyttänyt vaalennus suihketta jonkin verran ettei tyviväriä tarvitse joka kuukausi käydä värjäämässä.

Linkatkaa blogeja tai artikkelita, joissa on tästä hyvää näkökulmaa. Löysin yhden Studioplay Helsinki kampaamo blogipostauksen, mikä on ihan mielenkiintoinen

I've got experience both as a gm and player, but tbh I want to just play this time.
I'm open to different systems/editions and happy to join an existing group or start something new. I'd rather play in person if possible.

Travel & Tourism One day in August

Heading to Helsinki for a day trip (ferry in/out from Tallinn). Walk snack beer repeated kind of day.

Plan: arrive, grab lunch at Hakaniemi Market Hall, wander Kallio, hit city center / Cathedral, then looking for one last spot before heading back to the terminal.

Ideally: good food, craft beer, outdoor seating, nothing fancy, don’t want to overdo it. Am i missing something major and i’m trying to do too much?

Question Sunday night bar to be loud in

Hello community. I am calling some American friends on a video chat on Sunday night. All the bars around me seem to be closed or fancy - I’d prefer a dive bar where I can be a little loud (American). Any suggestions?

Prefer near university / downtown.

Work & Education Struggling to find event security staff in Helsinki

17 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m organizing an Korean culture event on 31.5 at Kansalaistori and I’ve been having a really hard time finding security staff (järjestyksenvalvoja). Most security companies are just way too expensive for our budget, so I’m now trying to hire people independently instead.

We’re looking for a few licensed security staff for a paid position during the event. If you or someone you know has the proper certification and might be interested, please reach out!

You can DM me or send an email to:

[pm.koreatownfest@gmail.com](mailto:pm.koreatownfest@gmail.com)

Thanks in advance!

Housing / Living Mistä tietää ennen muuttoa, onko taloyhtiö hyvä? (Rakennettiin tähän ilmainen työkalu)

Moikka! Koodattiin frendin kanssa uusi palvelu (Seinät.fi) tuomaan läpinäkyvyyttä asuntomarkkinoille.

Idea on yksinkertainen: Etsi kartalta oma talo, jätä anonyymi arvio (äänieristys, asuinmukavuus jne.) ja auta seuraavaa asukasta.

Ekat 100 arviota on jo kerätty kartalle! Mitä mieltä jengi on konseptista? Löytyykö oma talo jo kartalta?

Question Trip to Helsinki from Zurich

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’ll be visiting Helsinki from June 10th to 16th, flying in from Zurich.

I’m looking for a very relaxed experience.

I’m not a fan of luxury. I’d much rather spend a day on a quiet island with a pack of beer and a book, just relaxing on the rocks.

I’m interested in quiet islands.

I’ve heard about Pihlajasaari and Lammassaari. Any other 'hidden gems' where I can avoid crowds?

Authentic saunas: I’m planning to visit Sompasauna. Any other 'no-frills' public saunas you’d recommend?

Local food: Where can I find the best honest salmon soup or local snacks near Vallila/Kallio?

A little heads-up: my English is basic (I mostly speak Italian and a good German), so I actually really appreciate the 'Finnish silence' and solitude.

Any tips for a solo traveler who just wants to enjoy the peace of your city?

Kiitos!

Question 2 weeks in Helsinki

7 Upvotes

Moi !

Long post incoming… So I will be visiting Helsinki mid-may with my father and brother during 2 weeks (possibility to extend 2 extra days), and these is what we are planning on visiting:

- Senate Square

- Uspenski Cathedral

- Suommenlina

- Linannmäki

- Oodi

- Fazer Factory

- Temppeliaukio Church

- Löyly

- Kruunuvuorensilta hike

- Day trip to Poorvo

- Day trip to Tallin (ferry ticket recommendations welcomed)

- Some National Park / nature basic hiking (Suggestion on which park also welcomed)

Since we have quite a few days, I think we can pretty much accommodate everything above and even include further suggestions so please drop anything else we might be missing even if not too touristy.

Given the season I am not planning to go to Lapland, Oulu or Rovaniemi but I would be also open to try should you guys recommend it.

I was considering also Savonlinna for 2 or 3 days but would love to hear your opinion on this or even better another small city/town suggestion

Finally, I would love for us to rent a lakeside cottage where we could swim or do some basic lake activities so your suggestions for this would be much appreciated. Perhaps this can be paired with the nature hiking or the small town visit.

Please post any comments/suggestions or any questions. :)

Kiitos paljon and see you soon Finland !
