Les premières impressions d’Evan
« For me, the 5 differences between France and Finland, are the temperature, the time between sunrise and sunset, the attitude of the people, the flexibility of working times, and of course the snow ! »
« The company seems to be very interesting and the employees who work there look friendly. I was warmly welcomed. The company schedules are flexible. We can start late and finish late or start very early and finish early. This is a new company, it was created a year ago which explains the cleanliness of the workshop. It’ s a good start, and I’ m waiting to see more ! »
Les premières impressions d’Axel
My first impressions from Finland are :
– » The life here has surprised me, it’s pretty expensive here compared to France but oddly enough services are not as expensive.
– How cold people seem to be ! like the weather ! They don’t usually say hello or goodbye in the shop and they are not very talkative.
– How beautiful it is, it was impressive ! Much like in Sweden and Norway. It’s also very clean here and much less polluted than in France. The country has also many beautiful pine forests.
– The history of Finland during World War 2 and before. Indeed, beforeWW2 Finland was part of Sweden and Russia tried to invade the country but couldn’t. Fact : Finland nearly lost no battles against the Russians.
– Finally, Finnish girls are very beautiful, more than in France ! »
First impressions about my work placement :
-« How friendly my workmates are and how nice the sore is ! It’s very colorful and it has a very ‘Be happy’ vibe to it.
– The diversity of people, tourists, Finnish locals, workers of the nearby construction site or even truckers.
– I was very suprised when my tutor told me about how common shoplifting is, to be careful and what to do. Twenty minutes after my arrival they caught two truckers who were stealing some goods from the store. »

I was impressed by the commercial centers, there are so many of them !
I was surprised by what I learnt about the history of Finland during World War 2

Les premières impressions de Marty
La Finlande :
« Le comportement des gens est différent, le fait de ne pas dire bonjour est bizarre. Pour ma part, j’ai l’impression d’être impoli !
Les paysages sont différents. Ceux de France sont beaux mais c’est plus chaleureux d’avoir de la neige par contre l’avoir à l’année ça doit être un peu embêtant !
Je trouve aussi que les prix sont plus élevés qu’en France surtout pour les produits laitiers. Il y a aussi des saunas dans tous les logements.
Et la dernière chose que je dirais, c’ est que les journées ont l’air très courtes du fait que le soleil se lève à 9h et se couche vers 16h »
L’entreprise :
« L’entreprise ARNON OY m’a très bien accueilli, j’étais un peu paniqué à l’idée d’y aller mais ensuite cela a été, mon tuteur m’a fait visiter l’entreprise. J’ai ensuite été confié à une personne qui m’a donné des tâches à faire.
Je ne suis pas fort du tout en anglais mais j’ai réussi à les comprendre un minimum et à communiquer avec eux.
Ce que je retiens, c’est une entreprise très accueillante. »
