[quote=BF63;1546]Hi Nasu. Sorry to put you right but Tampere is definitely NOT considered as a Swedish speaking town.

The Swedish speaking areas are mainly by the coast line ... some in Loviisa neighbourhood, Porvoo, Helsinki... going west to Karjaa, Parainen, Tammisaari, Parainen, Pietarsaari, Vaasa, Kokkola. Maarianhamina in Åland is a matter of its own!!! You won't get any service there if you don't speak Swedish. To my mind those islands could be floated to Sweden any day!



sorry I meant to put Tammisaari not Tampere
