1. What did you know about Finland in advance?
– Honestly, I didn’t really know anything. I knew it was much colder here, but I didn’t know anything else.
2. How does Finnish traffic differ from German traffic?
– Really a lot. It is much more relaxed in Finland than in Germany. Much calmer and it is much nicer to drive in traffic. I go a lot by car and here it is easy.
3. What does Berlin and Turku have in common?
– Not much. Berlin is so much bigger than Turku that there are hardly any similarities. Both have pros and cons.
– For example, in Berlin you can get food from every angle, but here it is harder to find such places.
4. Does Finland get as good sausage and beer as Germany?
– In fact, I don’t drink beer. I know it sounds crazy even though I’m a German, but I’m not a beer type. Usually I don’t drink any alcohol during the season.
– I’ve eaten sausage once in Finland and it was pretty good. It cannot be compared to the German, but it was pretty good.
5. What is the best place in Turku?
– There are a lot of nice places here. We like the family to go to the beaches in the summer, which are really nice here.
– We always try to go to a new place to see as much city as possible.

6. Have you got stuck in the funicular?
– I’m not, Krebs laughs.
– I have been to Kakolanmäki and went to funicular, but then it has worked well.
7. Who is the most famous person in Turku?
– hard to say, but I think it’s Timo Furuholm.
8. Have you learned to speak Finnish?
– Unfortunately, not very well. I know basically how I can say thanks and hi.
9. What do you think that we Finns go naked in the sauna?
– I think it’s normal for you to go naked to the sauna. It’s okay, but for example, I prefer a towel so that I’m not completely naked.
10. Tell me what to do in Turku in the summer?
– When it’s warm here, it’s worth going to the beach. Too bad the summer here is so short, but I recommend it.
