This is beautiful town, especially in summer, between two big lakes and here's beatiful nature around this town. This is not too far from bigger towns, so it's easy to go shopping to big outlets and special shops. If you're keen on sports, you can practice here nearly all sports known in the Finnish sports culture.
But... Here's two big stinking factories that spread pollutions over this town. This is very red i.e. socialdemocratic town that has led to very hermetic atmosphere. The amount of so called "large generation" i.e. people close to retirement is bigger than anywhere else in Finland. You may guess what does it probably mean to services this town will offer to it's inhabitants in future. More to pensioners, less to children and young people and young families. And probably soon this town will be just a dormitory suburb of a much bigger city north from here. You can already now see how the shops die here. It's even hard to find clothing for kids in this town, not to mention about any special items. You really must go shopping to those nearby cities...
If you're a Finn, you probably realised already that I'm talking about this town.
Why we still live here? I don't know... but I know it's time to leave soon...
