Work opportunities:

Personal spending habits
Telephone calls were cheaper and the whole billing system differed from Finland. I spent average 60 dollars less money to phone calls in month over U.S. I spent more money to travel, even though the gas was nuts cheap. This is probably becasue I visited and travelled to the places more often that I did in Finland. Overal I spent a litte more money during my stay abroad, this is because of study expenses and higher travel expenses.

Personal comments
What surprised me most was the check books which are still in use. One still gets paycheck every month and pay the rent, electricity and other utility bills with checks - this seemed kind of oldish for me.
