Thousands apply to be a Finn for 90 days in migration scheme

I have been to southern Finland a number of times, luckily for me in the early summer. Not sure if all of these applicants realize what they are getting into in regards day/night time in the summer and winter. At least in the summer you can put up black out shades to keep the light out but winter is another thing all together!

(sunrise today was 9:25 am and sunset is at 3:18pm, 5:53 hours of daylight but in june 28 it is 3:58am to 10:48pm, 18:51 hours of daylight)

According to a comments on slashdot:

>I'm bored, and had to look at the term and conditions. They're accepting 15 people.

>Perhaps even less than 15. "Helsinki Business Hub will choose a maximum 15 participants."

>According to the T&C, you pay for your own airfare and accommodations.

>You have to go home after 90 days.

>So 15 people are getting a 90-day tourist visa to visit Finland at their own expense.
