| Cultural Insight |
| Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Nico: 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. |
