Climate of Trust

I think that "trust" is the word that suits the most with finnish behaviour. To take the metro or the train, you don't have to go through some doors that doesn't open if you don't insert your ticket. In two months, I only saw once the tickets controlers... People buy tickets, that's all.

At the kiosks, you will see newspapers and magasines scattered all around, which would be easily to steal. But come on! Finnish people don't steal!

You wanna ride? Let's take a bike then... So easy! Insert two euros in the slots of one of them (you have bike stations)and then you have it! Nobody would know who took it! But what the... I already told you that finnish people don't steal!! ;)

But trust has its limit too... You will be well-acquainted with the cameras...;)
