    I had the figure of 125Bn for India and 45Bn for Russia. I guess that figure was wrong then, sorry. Finnish fund is smaller as it seems.India is the greater country economically.

    Finland - Society and Economy

    Yeah, we are in a recession. Unemployment rate is at 8-9%. A lot of people want to get additional aid on top of government aid. I think it is good that also private businesses and people donate to those less fortunate. Also if I someday need help, I have no problem taking both government and...

    I hope you had Finnish friends during your stay and was invited to our homes. Otherwise your observation is correct on a superficial way. I can understand you missing indian veggies, food and sunshine. When I was in Singapore I missed our four seasons. Are you still in Finland?
