CULTURAL INSIGHT
If you are planning a big event, like a house party, it's better to invite people as
much in advance as possible, so they can keep the date open. Also note that
public traffic may cause limitations - the public traffic is efficient in the capital,
Helsinki, but in smaller cities the bus may be the only option, and it sometimes
stops running early in the evening.
