The shop hour in Finland are very different from France and Switzerland, the food retails open early and closes late and they are opening every day. It’s very easy when you forget to buy something you can find a market open. In Finland you can find K-market at every street corner. There are little but you can find everything, you have not very much big supermarket. Whereas the coffee shop close very early around 5:00 or 6:00pm, I like to take a hot chocolate or a tea when I Finnish the class, or maybe for discuss with friend. And it’s the same for some restaurant. Perhaps in Finland they don’t eat late in the evening during autumn or winter time.
I was really surprise about the time, but it’s very convenient for the student life.
If you compare with France the shops close around 8:00pm and sometimes 9:00 (but it’s uncommon), and the restaurant can close around 23:00pm or 00:00pm, but I think in France it’s more common to eat late.
