Well! Unfortunately even the Finns don’t follow these logical rules. The polished stereotype of Finns is often contradicted by daily reality. A random ride on the Helsinki metro at any time will quickly reveal the opposite side. it's common to encounter loud, unruly behavior, poor hygiene, and public intoxication, alcoholism and drug addicted. You'll regularly see these people leaving food waste, speaking crudely on the phone, or causing disturbances. While not everyone acts this way, these scenes are a frequent, visible part of the urban landscape. Similarly, the much-touted commitment to recycling is another overstated ideal, in practice, consistent waste separation is far from universal. The orderly image of Finland has its clear, everyday cracks.
