Luistelukentät

Missä päin Turussa luistelukenttiä, joissa on jää kunnossa ja pääsee autolla kätevästi parkkiin? Parkin kenttä vissiin ainakin, mutta aika suolainen hinta jos kertamaksu 8,40€

Baari ilman kovaa melua?

Onko kenellekään tullut vastaan rauhallista baaria jos ei olisi kovaa taustamusiikkia ja hälinää? Meillä on kaveriporukka jossa on mukana kaksi henkilöä joilla on alentunut kuulo. Esimerkiksi Koulussa oli aivan liian kova hälinä ja he eivät pysyneet mukana keskustelussa.

Keskustelu- ja tutustumistilaisuus tänään

Hei.

Kirjoitin tänne viime vuoden puolella n. 25—40-vuotiaille tarkoitetusta Kokeellinen Sosiaalisuus -projektista. Järjestän tänään ensimmäisen tapaamisen pääkirjastolla. En tiedä onko kukaan tulossa, joten uskoisin että ainakin pari istumapaikkaa olisi pienehkössä tilassa vapaana. Olen paikalla klo 14.30—16.30 Turun pääkirjastolla, 2.kerroksen ryhmätyötilassa. Sinne voi tulla moikkaamaan (ainakin minua), hengaamaan, keskustelemaan ja tutustumaan. Tervetuloa!

edit: tila on kuudelle (6) hengelle, että jos ette ilmoittaudu, niin en voi taata paikkojen riittävyyttä; onneaan saa toki koittaa ex temporekin; ja jos kiinnostusta löytyy, voi iltaa jatkaa lautapelaillen jossakin baarissa.

Regarding scholarship in University of Turku

Hey everyone, I am a non-EU student and I applied for Bachelor's in Information and Communication Technology at University of Turku (3+2 years). My SAT score is 1420 (650 in English, 770 in Math), GPA is 5.00 and I have no IELTS as my SAT score covered the language requirement. Can I get a 100% scholarship with my profile?

Looking for friends (^_^)

Hi! I moved to Turku quite recently from a remote Finnish town, and I am looking to have a more diverse friendgroup. All ages and genders are welcome as long as you are over 18.

A lil about me: I am 23F and I love going to the gym, walking around the city, exploring, certain techno clubs here are great, and I love going to the library to read in peace. I love cats and dogs as well, and I wish I will be able to have a pet one day. I can also speak Finnish, but my level isn't the best, so I wouldn't mind getting some feedback/constructive criticism sometimes on my skills >.> I am also working and studying at the same time, so I try to make time for the activities that I love.

If you do reach out, please let me know a bit about yourself and your hobbies c: Kiitos <3

Chocolate Milk Meet Up

Hi friendly people of our favorite town,

I’m a French 27yo musician living in Turku, and back home, we love exchanging diverse opinions over coffee.

Drinking coffee is not my cup of tea 🤪 but I’d love to meet new people here around a chocolate milk anyway for a casual chat about life, culture, or any topic that sparks curiosity.

I am fond of culture and art, controversy, philosophy, psychology and many others words that ends with a "y" sound. That said, I do appreciate conversations where people aren’t afraid to dive deep or disagree.

Anyone who feels like it, is welcome!

Solarium in Turku

Does anyone know if there is a decent place for taking solarium in Turku or nearby?

So far I've found two places in the city of Turku. But both places are quite inconvenient as you have to book time and come within opening hours of the place. And they also have very old solarium beds, and it seems like they are not taking care of the beds either. The lamps are old) not changed for quite a while), and they don't give very good tan.

I would love to find some place like this, where you can come as drop in client and pay by card. 👇

Ideoita työporukan aktiviteeteiksi Turussa?

Hei, suunnittelen alkusyksylle ammatillista seminaaria, johon kuuluu yhdelle illalle illallinen ja aktiviteettia. Osallistujamäärä on noin 50 henkeä ympäri Suomen, ja monelle Turku voi olla kokonaan uusi vierailukohde.

Illallispaikkoja on mielessä useita, mutta aktiviteettiin kaipaisin ideoita.

Kun tapahtumia on aiemmin järjestetty muissa kaupungeissa, aktiviteetteina on ollut mm. lyhyt laivamatka jossa on esiintynyt koomikko, ja opastettu kierros museon näyttelyssä.

Tällä hetkellä olen itsekin ideoinut lähinnä opastettua kierrosta johonkin museoon, esim Aboa Vetus Ars Novaan. Mutta otan (luoviakin) ideoita vastaan!

Kiitos jo etukäteen!

Puku Turussa?

Olen hankkimassa kunnon puvun itselleni (31 v. mies). Onko suositella hyviä liikkeitä, jossa saisi hyvää asiakaspalvelua ja hyvälaatuiset vaatteet? Budjetti saisi olla noin 500 €:n lähellä.

Sporting info and buddies for newcomer :)

Hi people! I'm a newcomer in Turku, arrived last week :D And I will be staying in this beautiful city until the end of March (i'm on a work-visit). I'm trying to figure out how to sport around here. I've researched some things into it, but I don't speak finnish, so any tips and suggestions are welcome!

  • I've looked at the fitness24/7 option, but i'm not sure if i can cancel it immediately after I got it (it requires 2 months notice haha).
    • Also, it seems like females don't really workout in the mixed area? I read that females just usually use the female room. Is this true?
  • the ELIXIA came up, but way too expensive for just a few months (100e/m).
  • Sport wristband: apparently only works for the fitness centers far from the city? (30 min bus ride?) Is this correct? Can I use it as much as I want?

I also like group lessons, and other fun activities like bouldering and swimming :) So the wristband looked quite interesting, but the distance really sucks (I'm staying in the city center!).

Also, if anyone wants to become a sporting buddy, I'm very open to it! I'm a 30F, who likes bouldering, swimming, pole dancing and other random sports. Would also be interesting in trying out some winter sports, but I have very little to no experience :P

Bonus: leave here a random non-sport-related tip for a newcomer and I will answer with a dad joke as thank-you-note!

University of Turku

Good evening! I'm planning to apply to the University of Turku for an Engineering degree, especially in software. Do you recommend that I study in Turku as an EU student, or should I choose another city? How about job opportunities? I would like to hear your ideas. I'm open to all advice.

Calling Turku Puzzle Lovers!

I've been working on this puzzle for a few months now (it was a birthday gift), but haven't been able to make much progress on my own and I'm losing steam. Would anybody be willing to meet me at the library to help me finish it? It's 1000 pieces with beautiful gold foil details and I'd love to have this project finished and possibly meet some cool people at the same time. I'll meet anybody who's willing to help at any time at any library <3

Edit: actually added the puzzle image. For some reason it didn't work the first time

Weekend In Turku

Hello. Im traveling alone from Denmark to Turku from Jan 23 to Jan 26. I'm there for a job interview and to scout out the town to potentially move there.

I have to figure out how to spend my time Friday evening and all of Saturday. I was thinking of maybe visiting the happy badger boardgame cafe and hope to join a table and maybe go for a hike Saturday.

Anyone have any recommendations of what to do? Maybe culturel must see, amazing hiking trails, amazing dining places, fun activities or nice bars.

Or maybe someone is willing to meet up and do whatever? Sports, boardgames, a few beers somewhere, hike or whatever else I'm open to most things.

I'm a 29 year old guy if that have any bearing.

Thanks!

Visiting In February - Looking for music venues

I’m spending about 2 weeks in Turku at the end of Feb/beginning of March. I’m hoping to see a few live local bands while i’m there.

I like punk/folk/country/pop honestly a little bit of everything.

If anyone has recommendations on where/when/who to see I would appreciate it!
