Paul V. Speed’s first book „Taxi stories from Finland. Over 100 funny & astonishing stories by a local crazy cabbie. Part One“ includes over 100 real stories, most of which took place late at night in capitol of Finland and other areas during his shifts. Now foreign readers can also be entertained by the stories.

This is probably the first and only work about real life in Finland written by a local taxi driver. The book reveals the true face of Finland and Finnish national character as seen through the eyes of a foreign cabbie.

The author shows that Finland is more than its popular image of calm and stoic race car drivers and hot saunas in beautiful woodland landscapes. Indeed, Finns come in all types - ranging from calm and funny to wild and furious. The author's descriptions of nightlife in Finland are a particular treat.

The book contains appearances by other nationalities as well. Part One and Two contain tales about other nationalities – Estonians, Russians, Swedish, Americans, Germans, Jamaicans, Thais and others. The stories vary from pleasant encounters to unpleasant and dangerous episodes.

The Part One includes many photos and maps in Finland, doubles as a phrasebook, and includes over 90 references about different people and places in Finland.

I'm a regular guy, who possesses degree in International Business Administration. I worked years in wine industry in marketing and sales areas. After layoff I travelled and worked in farms in Germany, in construction business in Sweden and Finland and in taxi business in Finland. So, I'm like an average Estonian who has done a bit everything :) I have something to remember and write about. You can find some stories of my life in my blog: http://lifeinfinland.net/ Sincerely, Tommi
