Internet

[edit]

Finland in general lacks internet cafes as most of the people have connections in their home and in their pocket, and Pornainen is no exception. Many of the places of business do have wi-fi for customers (although it's usually called "WLAN"); ask the staff for details. For free wi-fi and internet terminals, check the 1 Pornainen Municipal Library.

Stay safe

[edit]

In emergencies, 112 (free from all phones). This includes social services, although for non-urgent matters you could contact the social services directly.
