My name is Midi and I come from Poland. Yes, this is that country of Solidarnosc, presidential airplane crash and Chopin, and yes, it's been in the EU for some time...
In July 2010, together with my SuperHusband I appeared in Jyväskylä and this was our first time in Finland. We did not speak any word in Finnish (which has not changed significantly yet...) and were just trying to survive, adjust and get familiar with everything a foreigner may need to live here.
