Hi there, I´m a trainee graphic designer living in the Uk and I would like to do my next move to Finland, getting there, learn finish and find a nice place to work as a trainee. Any nice studio that could be interested in that?
Cheers and peace

I lived in Finland for 6 months working as a Technical Writer for Telia, Fi. You should just search here for the word FINLAND. Or I will do it for you and you can sort through it. I lived in Kaivopuisto, but that's near all the embassies, the Baltic Sea and nice park. Might be out of your range, they paid me well. ;)

These clubs are pretty good: BAR LIEKKI, Soda, KERMA, BAR 9, BAR TAPASTA, Lost and Found (Gay), Tavastia, Jump Inn, On The Rocks, Stella Music, Semifinal - bars/music/clubs

Unfortunatly that's no longer the case...
Liekki has closed and the there's a restaurant instead (supposedly really good food), Soda has closed, and get this... there's a karaoke bar in it's place! Jump Inn had also moved... And Pravda, which used to be a nice hangout place is now a pub. I just hope that this is some big mistake and things will get back to what they were.

NOOOOOOO! Don't tell me that. LOL! I liked that blonde chick at Pravda, wow she was pure heavenly delight!

cheers for the names of the studios, and yeah, clubs are useful too, but I´m trying to find some trainee-related help, like scholarships programs for trainees and things like that. Anyone knows?

not really, I was already hired there man, but good luck. I still have a girlfriend in Espoo. She's coming to USA soon.

Here's some ad agencies from around here... not a lot of stuff in English, but hey, practice makes you a master, in Finnish too :)
