Hi,
Day by day life in Finland is pretty easy. The country is a wonderful place to leave. Time to adapt varies according to each person and culture. In my case, I would pick up the Finnish language as the most important factor on speed up the process of adaptation. Still it can be a major obstacle as it is not easy to learn. If you have children you will be astonished by the high level of education. Professional life is another point of friction as Fins are very conservatives with foreigners. After all, it worth a try.
