    I just wish we had more languages to choose from, I've always been interested in Asian culture and languages, but it's hard finding even a Spanish course here...
    And I meant Netherlands as a country, not the Dutch people.

    It's actually "Hurrit". It's a anti-pet name for Finns who moved to Sweden. Not sure if it's a made up word or not though.

    Yeah, you guys have a lot of languages to keep track on. You are also one of the best educated people in the world if I'm not mistaken.
    It doesn't show on the older generations(50's,60's people) though xD

    I often post from my mobile device, typos in my posts are 99% likely to be because of that.
    All I would ever want and need is a hug.

    Yup. Just shows how crap life can get.

    A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one.

    Hm. I haven't heard it around where I live so it could be a local slang.
    And true. That's why most of Finns are actually unemployed because people are "over educated". There's no jobs similiar to their education and a lot of people don't want to do any of the "lower tier jobs", such as cleaning up or selling burgers.

    I meant the country as a whole that studies more languages at school than we Finns do in Finland. But it might've been a bit confusing 'cause I was talking about languages in the last sentence.

    Completely losing all interest and stop doing anything for the study counts as a fail for me.

    It was a bit confusing now that I'm reading it again. Since I mentioned languages, then I talked about Netherlands as a country and right after I talked about my boyfriend (who is Dutch). Oh well.

    I wish the UK had put more emphasis on learning languages. :<

    I don't know how it is in Finnland, but here you get 70% of you last earned income for a certain period. I wouldn't clean toilets or sell burgers for 40 hours per week if that would net me less income/equal than what I get for doing nothing.

    He's Dutch

    Only Dutch, German, French and English are mandatory here. Don't know what study he does though.

    This is so kinky. I have the worst cold sore in the history of history. I just made myself a Nutella sandwich. It's so delicious but it hurts so bad every time I take a bite. Yet, I can't stop eating it. Pain+pleasure is a bitch...

    We have nothing settling the income like that. You get paid what you get paid and that's it. Even if you'd go from being a high class boss to a janitor. It's different for people like a politician or a headguy at Nokia. You get some sort of pay after you're fired/retire/whatever.

    When did you move to Australia?

    And yes... 3x 1600 + a few hundred for books + rent for the room. Next to that I have 11k debt that I need to pay back over a 20 year period, so that isn't too bad. You can pay back like as little as 50 per month.

    Don't you have interest on the loan? The longer it takes you to pay it off, the higher the loan become?
