Omaheimo became famous in the spring of the current year, when Au pairs in Thailand series was shown on television. Omaheimo got into a disgusting situation in the middle of the season.
– The mother of my first host family was very fat-phobic, and I had to change families because of that. I did try to talk to him, but the phobia was so deep in him that nothing came of it. Then you can see how that conversation ended on the TV, Omaheimo told Iltalehte last April.
Stansvikinkallio area planning has been talked about for a long time. The city of Helsinki started building streets by clearing Stansvik’s natural forest in the fall of 2023. After this, a watercourse protected by the Water Act was found in the area.
The administrative court stopped the construction work on Stansvikinkallio for the time being in January 2024. The re-evaluation of the site plan is still in progress.
