This is part 2 of a conversation, where we talk about experiences of moving to Finland, business culture in South Ostrobothnia, what Betti and Winnie do in their free-time and, of course, the weather.

The business culture in Etelä-Pohjanmaa is renowned for it’s entrepreneurial spirit, and both Betti and Winnie had experiences to share. You can hear Betti explain how a chance meeting on a flight to Hungary, led to her getting a useful introduction into the business community in E-P. Winnie also tells how he was introduced to the mobile game developer, that has since employed him to help launch it’s new game in China.

I then asked them to compare life in Finland to their home country. Naturally, Winnie had the biggest adjustment to make, from controlling China to liberal Finland, he tells about his realisation that he’d been misinformed for many years, and how he still knows more than his friends and family back home. Betti, on the other hand, found the dark winter most difficult to adjust to, but is getting happeir as Spring arrives. She also told an anecdote about a considerate train driver; a juxtaposition from many other countries, I imagine!
