Anna from Finland : From a land of singing and saunas

When Anna and her husband visited Tasmania for a short holiday several years ago, they had not imagined they would be coming back to live, but a year later Anna's husband was offered a job at the University of Tasmania and they decided to come and give it a go.   Although the cultural transition has not been too massive, there have been some notable cultural differences to adjust to, especially in the style of communication. Anna grew up in a small place in Finland and went to a primary school with barely 20 students in total.  She developed a love of music, especially for playing the violin and through this she has connected into the local musical community in Hobart and plays in a local orchestra.
