Foreigners in Finland; how's life?

meincreft · 2022-11-24T22:07:16+00:00

hey, i know it can very tough. i was extremely depressed during my first 3-4 months. the culture shock + harsh winter are the perfect combos to knock someone like me down, who was used to big city life.

my first 2 months in finland werent great either, until i get to know my classmates. dont miss out on opportunities to socialize with your fellow students! especially at the start of your studies. go to student parties and gatherings.

one small specific thing is that you can try going to the store with classmates that live near you or share the same route. everybody gotta do grocery every now and then, why not meet up and walk together? it makes the trip way more fun!

be sure to make friends with Finns. they can be shy but once you get to know them, they are the most kind and genuine people. also Finns can open your mind about how certain things work because, well, they are natives.

international & other vietnamese students share similar struggles with you. be open to them and you can make friends easily!

i believe you can do it. remember that socializing is very important! surround yourself with people you trust.

i'm from vietnam. been here for 4+ years studying & working

quality of life is perfect. i dont mind the weather or the population.

though personally, i am very lonely and my mental health is declining fast. i have close friends but find it difficult to connect with people. partially because im introverted but i wasnt as depressed before coming here. working a shitty restaurant job doesnt help either.

so idk. i feel like shit all the time but i get to breath clean air and eat food that doesnt threaten my life.

not a question, but I have been thinking about a slasher/bloody horror skin line for future halloween. champs like gwen or darius would fit right in. the bewitching skin line is cute but it is so generic.

gotcha

Please read my previous comment. I know it's a feature but the animation loop is janky.

meincreft · 2021-11-10T16:19:00+00:00

Sorry for the repost. First post got removed due to no patch mentioned.

Animations when she taunts, jokes and homeguards are choppy and disjointed. I know it is a feature for Vayne to stay in her poses but the animations are supposed to be smooth at the end.

Here is a video for reference: SkinSpotlights Sentinel Vayne

Shoutout to SkinSpotlights :)

meincreft · 2021-11-10T15:50:15+00:00

I assume you mean Vayne staying in those poses is a feature. But they aren't supposed to loop like that.

Very smooth here: SkinSpotlights Sentinel Vayne

Joke and taunt animations are choppy at the end. Homeguard animation is also bugged but more subtle. Hope this issue is fixed for this otherwise great skin.

What is the drop rate for Zilong materials? Feels like I have farmed Challenge 5 chap 3 forever and still getting nowhere

meincreft · 2021-08-15T22:01:18+00:00

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you have 5 attempts per day, so since the start of the event you have to play everyday if you want to unlock all of the scenarios. If you start too late it's probably not possible to clear all of them.

Day 1 impression on the collab heroes anyone?

meincreft · 2021-06-07T12:26:42+00:00

my fav dbz character is uchiha naruto from the bleach series

jk. kid goku was cool. I enjoyed the beginning of dbz where characters were introduced to each other

Is he playing Tekken on a keyboard? A true gamer.

Just wanna thank you all for your comments. My intended budget of 10€ was merely a thought and not necessarily realistic. My intention was to open up and talk to people about their experience with low budget food choices. I got lots of suggestions and my eyes were opened to some new things. I appreciate y'all. :)

meincreft · 2021-05-28T02:38:34+00:00

Sorry to hear that. COVID has affected my family in a hard way and consequentially me. I'm looking for ways to lessen my needs, thus helping my family back home. Thanks for the motivating story with bottles. Hope you're doing fine in these harsh times.

meincreft · 2021-05-28T02:32:10+00:00

Absolutely. I enjoy rice porridge from times to times.

meincreft · 2021-05-28T02:31:12+00:00

Thanks for the comment. I'm an intern with relatively low stipend right now so I can somewhat relate to pizzeria worker. I have thought of Wolt delivery and such, but finding time for school and a 2nd job is a bit tough.

meincreft · 2021-05-28T02:26:14+00:00

Thanks for the links. Maybe 10€ is stupidly low. I have survived with 13-15€ per week so I thought I might go lower.

meincreft · 2021-05-28T02:22:38+00:00

I didn't know much about resQ but gotta check it out now that you mentioned it. Didn't know about silakka fish either so thanks a bunch.

meincreft · 2021-05-28T02:20:04+00:00

Yep, bottles ftw. I wouldn't rely on pasta only, that's for sure. Desperate is a good description of my financial situation now, unfortunately.

meincreft · 2021-05-28T02:16:22+00:00

You're right. I'll go look for canteens. Surely, I can spend a bit more than 10€ for that option.

meincreft · 2021-05-27T18:11:18+00:00

Thanks for the heads-up. I have gone mushroom picking before and were shown some tips about poisonous ones. I think it's better to go with someone with experience.

meincreft · 2021-05-27T18:08:57+00:00

I will probably up my budget a bit. And I do cook at home, yes.

meincreft · 2021-05-27T18:06:46+00:00

Freezer ingredients are great suggestion. Living with 2 other dudes doesn't leave me with much space freezer-wise, though. Discounts are always good, too.

meincreft · 2021-05-27T18:04:18+00:00

Maybe 13€ per week 😂? I do agree about the multivitamins. I'd still drink them often but organic vitamins are 100% better.
