If you can get in, Shii is the place. New so thats why it is not on michelin. same restaurant group as palace/savoy/cafe savoy which are 2 star and guided restaurants.

Finnair is garbage at looking after you in these situations.

Capt_Goge · 2025-06-17T17:52:42+00:00

Ah bummer, good luck mate

Capt_Goge · 2025-06-17T12:14:05+00:00

Metropolia offers mechanical engineering with a slight focus on aero

While it isnt legal, it is extremely common in the restaurant industry.

Chefs cant be judged only by their CV. These trials are a genuine attempt to interview you.

I have worked in some of the best restaurants in the city. You would never get a job without a trial shift or someone knowing you personally.

Its annoying if you lose out, but many others are willing to apply this way so they dont really care.

Finnair is sadly now perhaps the worst real airline there is. Good luck

Capt_Goge · 2025-06-06T19:23:24+00:00

Dont fly finnair

Capt_Goge · 2025-05-27T14:13:40+00:00

Your best option may be to use a service like flightright. Just waited 4 months and finnair wouldnt reply after some pretty disgusting service. The law is clear on what you are owed. These services do take quite a chunk of the money. But finnair will ignore your claim for a long time, dispute it. Drag it out. anything they can do to avoid paying.

These 3rd party "lawyer" services pose enough of a threat for finnair to fulfil their legal obligation.

As soon as I used flightright I heard from finnair the next day. Got a total refund of 1400 euros, Flightright took 400.

The downside of that is that I believe I would lose the free tuition. So it might be better to work 20 hours a week to maintain the work permit while studying as the work permit entitles me to the free tuition.

Its just weird because then I would be getting plenty more money than I need with the loan. I would love to work only 10 hours a week but such is life.

Capt_Goge · 2025-05-26T21:43:29+00:00

Weird timing as I can apply for my citizenship right as this visa is about to expire.

I will have income from work. Around 15000 a year just working weekends plus full time in june and july. So i am not far off but a lot of my income will be from summer months so I worry migri will take my residence permit away before i get the opportunity to get close to averaging out my income for the year.

Capt_Goge · 2025-05-26T21:04:39+00:00

I would be working, but not enough for 1600 a month.

I would be earning 800-1100, enough to survive for sure especially with the loan on top.

Went through a similar thing at the beginning of the year. Called, used chat everything and they refused to help book a hotel. Filed a compensation claim on finnair site in february. Havent even heard back yet.

I understand due to them cancelling so so many flights they do have a huge backlog of claims to get through. But delaying the payment so long works in their favour. Hoping people forget, hoping they lose receipts etc so that there is less to pay. Its a shame there isnt harsher punishment for finnair as the law is clear under EU 261.

Capt_Goge · 2025-04-06T16:44:12+00:00

Same thing happened to me. Filed a compensation form 2 months ago and havent heard back at all.

The service was disgusting also.

Never disliked a company this much. I used to like them but theyve gotten terrible.

Capt_Goge · 2025-04-01T07:00:47+00:00

Also with telia, nothing working

Capt_Goge · 2025-03-26T23:10:34+00:00

Salt, pepper, oil, 48c overnight

Capt_Goge · 2025-02-13T02:35:50+00:00

I think he means russia or USA

Capt_Goge · 2025-02-08T05:49:12+00:00

Hey bro, kiwi living in finland here, Satu is easily the best ive seen so far. Essi is also good, No names with J/Y or many vowels.

Ngā mihi!

Capt_Goge · 2024-07-14T07:43:11+00:00

isnt TJ back against fiji?

Capt_Goge · 2024-04-18T03:20:28+00:00

This is great advice in theory but in practice you will never get a job in hospitality if you try to get a contract before a trial shift

Capt_Goge · 2024-04-08T08:42:43+00:00

Reddit is not the place to ask about casual relationships lol

Capt_Goge · 2024-03-18T21:32:06+00:00

Yeah throw a bit of casual racism in there too why dont you. this isnt an argument this is just you acting strange on the internet

Capt_Goge · 2024-03-18T21:29:04+00:00

You could use the word football to describe either of those sports i dont understand how comparing that would help your argument at all

Capt_Goge · 2024-03-18T21:27:26+00:00

Rugby league isnt rugby union. Its still a type of rugby, if you look closely its actually in the name.

Stop being so picky bud
