My friends and I decided to open a communal kitchen of sorts to fight the strain on our wallets. Most meals consisited of cold cuts, bread, mustard and juice. It wasn't too bad, a bit repetitive though. Somehow, even though I thought I was being frugal, my wallet seemed to get very light towards the end of the week. I needed to figure out a way to make some money.
I implemented two courses of action. The first was being a recycler. It was a pretty highly paid job in finland. Of course you receive no hourly wage, just commision. The hours are great, basically whenever you want, and you are self employed, no boss barking at you to do or not to do something. For ever 2 liter plastic bottle you recieve .40 euro, for the half liter bottles you get .20 euro, and for cans you only get .15.
I made about 100 euros from this job. My other job was more interesting. With the help of chidori's donation of a sign board (emptytriangle.com), I set up a massage booth at congress to help players relieve the stress of playing 5 hour long games. I charged 5 euros for 15 minutes back rub or hand massage. I had 3 customers doing this at a booth.
I was not too succesful until I took my business to the bar that all of congress attendees went to and started offering short massages. Three minutes for 1 euro. I am not sure exactly how many customers I had at the bar. Some paid in drinks. Overall I was pretty happy with the results.
Somehow I made it out of Finland without losing all my money...I must say though Helkinki is amazing.

You completed various fine points there. I did a search on the matter and found the majority of folks will consent with your blog.
WoW! absolutely great idea. . =)
I have a house in finland and all my relatives are from there. It's so much fun, on vacation anyway, and me and my cousins would spend time in the forest or driving the boat around our lake exploring the islands in it. When I was little I too used to recycle all the bottles in the house, then me and my cousin would gamble it a way at the local S Market.

Mate, who is in Australia, the Archeage Gold servers are in Russia and EU. Please tell me other game with "great netcode" wich allow you to play normal with 400 ping?This reminds me of the time when our community had BF servers. So many times there was people from US who joined there, and the servers was located in Stuttgart. So they play round or two on EU server (they have filters and know...or Cheap Archeage Gold dont know may be...where they join) and start to moan: This Buy Archeage Gold server is laggy! And so on...
You are very optimistic and I like your attitude. There will be many disagreements in the adult world, but as long as we actively seek solutions, we will all be happy.
