Chamber of Assistance for Foreigners

What started as the 4 person chit chat group of four foreigners in Oulu is expanding so rapidly that the Chamber of Assistance for Foreigners is now taking final shape.

But, we seem to be also helping many Finns plann their visit other countries as China, Thailand and India.

So we may to drop the "for Foreigners" from our proposed name.

Our next meeting this Sunday, 8th January 2006, promises to be a blockbuster. As so many are planning to go to Kerala in te next few days I have decided to play the very personal Video CD about my grandmother, which shows the beautiful scenery of the "Backwaters of Kerala".

The star of the movie is this lady.

Since Kannan, our quite outstanding Civil Engineer from Pondicherry, has got a great job at the Fifth Nuclear Power Plant to be built in Finland as the Site Engineer, I thought we could help several of you (and him) by talking about how to legitimately save on your income tax payments - which are quite high in case you do not take the correct steps as Finns do.

With some Finns going to India, I also thought we could help them with some of their travel plans, finding interpreters, etc.

So it appears this is going to be a great meeting with good food served up at the Pailin Restaurant. Choice of Thai, Pizzas and Kebabs as well as traditional Fast Foods.
