Hi everyone! I noticed there wasn’t an “English corner” in this section of the forum for us non-Finnish speakers to interact with the Finnish community… so here I am, starting one. 
This is a place where you can ask Finnish postcrossers for help, or just chat about Finnish topics in English. Enjoy!
Actually, I’m starting this topic also with the goal of asking the regulars in this subcommunity to help us tag (aka, add labels) to the topics here, so that they can be better organized (and thus easier to find).
The labels available for this section are:
Anyone can add labels to the topics they’ve started, and regulars (ie, members with the “Regular” badge) can add them to any topic. To do this, click the little pencil symbol to the right of the topic’s title, and just add the tags that apply to that topic.
Thank you in advance!

These are so called “forever” stamps, always valid for sending mail up to 20 g or equal amount of postage when combined with other stamps. The globe symbol means they are meant for international mail. At the moment one of those stamps is worth 2,05 €.
Hi I’m looking for a potential host for https://community.postcrossing.com/t/tlf-travelling-lego-figure/25820/99
I’ve even got Finnish stamps for you to use as postage to send him back!
You’ll also get some blank mix postcards and some tea bags as a thank you for hosting Larry, who comes to you on a holiday for two weeks, take him to see the sights, send a postcard home if postage allows with stamps sent, and then return Larry home. All I hope at no extra cost to you!
Update: I now have TWO hosts. Thank you all…

Hi,
I am Marleen, a dutch woman, 35 y.o. who lives in Norway. I have no partner or children.
I would like to get in touch with someone in Finland, a penpal, to write letters and cards with.
I speak dutch, english, norwegian and a little Finnish (I am learning Finnish at Duolingo).
I love nature, I like to cook, I have three cats, I like to be creative, I have two companies. I am curious and eager to learn. I really enjoy learning the Finnish language and learning more about Finland.
Suomi on kaunis maa. (Finland is a beautiful country, right?) 
I am looking for someone who really likes it and want this, and wants to maintain active contact. Who wants to send mail several times a year.
I look forward to meeting you and getting to know you better in the letters and cards.
Have a nice day.
Greetings, Marleen
sent you PM

Hello, greetings from Japan,
I am a female in age 40s and I am looking for postal pals in Finland, any age, who can send me any postcards each time, preferably in an envelope. If you could also include a small magazine, newspaper, supermarket advertising clippings, that would be wonderful. Basically anything from your country would be welcomed.
In return, instead of a postcard, I would like to send you nice sticker sheets from Japan each time with a short note in an envelope. My hobby is making handmade carved stamps, so I can send you my works in an envelope too, if you like.
Please message me if you are interested to be my postal pals
Edit :
Still looking for postal pals.
Hello, I sent a registered mail with postcard and a tea bag in it and the clerk asks me to fill in a CN22 form.
I am not sure whether tea bags are allowed to enter Finland. Would it be able to pass through the border since the CN22 has already been sticked on the mail and sent out.
I have received tea outside of EU. I didn’t find information if it’s totally ok.
Maybe problem can be if this is stopped at the customs. Is there your name?
It can happen the receiver must clear it, which is not a big thing if they know who sent it and what is inside. But if not, then it might be returned to you.
I have signed on it already. The thing I concern is that I heard that EU does not allow vegetable product import from non-EU country, I do think tea bags belong to them. As I know registered item must go through custom before entering Finland from non-EU countries, I wonder whether they will remove the tea bag from the envelope or just demolish the entire item if the tea bag is not allowed for import.
Hope that won’t happen.
