Finland is one of the best places to travel if you are travelling for a business trip or office purpose. Based on my experiences to travel to Tampere, one of famous places of Finland, I would like to share this article for all who plan to visit this favourite place.

First thing is that I visited here as part of company business trip which is for one to two months. I acquired a service appartment here which is 3 sharing and costs 400 to 450 Euros per month. Do add a comment if you are a India looking for Trip to Tampere Finland and looking for service appartment in Tampere, you can contact me through contact page . I can share the person Email Id with you and you can easily get your accomodation. Here they charge on Monthly and also on weekly basis.

So lets discuss about the things you need to bring if you are vegetarian and looking for savings during your business trip.

First thing if you are coming from India, they allow 3 bags. One Laptop bag, one Hand Baggage which can be about 8 kg, and One Checking Baggage that can be from 23kg to 25 kg.

Things that need to be brought, I have divided into 5 sections

1. Dress and Winter Wear
2. Daily Routine Items
3. Food Items for Lunch and Dinner
4. Food Items for Break Fast
5. General Food Making Items Utensils

1. Dress and Winter Wear

In Tampere, Finland you experience severe winters in the months of october, November and December. So bring as much of winter wear as you can. Best way is to fill your winter wear and Dresses in your Hand Baggage which you can bring 8 kg. Given below is essential list which I thought is best

• One Jerkin, Two winter caps, Two pairs of Gloves, One Umbrella and One sweater.
• Two pairs of Inners (thermal wear)
• 3 Pairs of Dress and One pair of Night dress
• Two Mufflers
• One bedsheet
• Shoes of woodland which help you to walk on snow

These all cover your winter wear.

Dressing, since it is winter here and no sweating comes, 3 pairs of shirt and pant are enough. I don’t know about girls sorry. May be any of my friends can update on it in comments. Here you can get washing machine in service appartments. So bring washing powder with you and not washing soaps.

2. Daily Routine Items

These cover items that you should generally carry during your travel. I thought of categorizing medical kit separately but since it is becoming very big article, I am making it short.

• In medical kit, make sure you have cough, cold and fever related medicines as they are most essential here. Bring Vaseline and Lipguard as it is very essential for climate here.Bring iodex, dettol, two or three plasters, One strip of Gastric tables, one or two antibiotics, one electrol powder, one small Glucon-D, cotton and Jandubalm or Amrutanzan.
• Toothpaste, brush, tongue cleaner and two bathing soaps, snow and powder are common. Other optionals are deodrant, mouth freshners etc.
• Bring yourself cotton buds and tooth picks, nail cutter, shaving kit if you are using them. A sewing kit like scissor, needle and thread is also helpful
