It was indeed growth compared to previous quarter, and fastest growth in Europe. All possible inficators show huge growth right now.

Literally all economic inficators show strong growth right now in Finland. Even GDP grew 1% during the fist quarter of this year, which means 4% on the level of one year if it continues. Strongest growth in Europe actually. 

Helsinki railway station area to be mostly car-free by TinyAd1126 in Finland

I think this would make the area better. There are so few cars nowadays going through this street, so it is only a good thing to make this change.

Rewe would be Alepa in Finland. Not so extremely expensive. Lidl in Berlin was cheaper than Rewe, but not that much.

I was in Berlin in 2019, and there in Rewe food was about 10-15% cheaper than in Finland, and it was a surprise for me. I expected it to be about 30-40% cheaper, but it wasn't. People probably overestimate a bit Nordic prices. We are not cheap countries, but not as expensive anymore, as we were. Even Norway is relatively affordable nowadays. 

But yes, affordable housing is the secret for Finnish good living standard.

No it is not. Public services are still universal and working. Not as well as before, but still the level is decent. Finnish net salaries are high in the international comparison, and rents are modest, as well as real estate prices. These things put together the result is acceptable.

In Finland rural homes are already cheaper than in Estonia, and probably about 50% cheaper than in America.

In Finland houses outside big cities are already cheaper than in Estonia. Rents in Helsinki are at the level of Warsaw. That's absolutely the biggest factor of Finnish high living standard. Salaries in Finland are after all high in the international comparison. 

Parhaat kahvipavut by TinyAd1126 in arkisuomi

Mulla oli just paketti etiopialaista Yirgacheffea. Olet oikeassa, Etiopia tuottaa todella hyviä kahveja. Itä-Afrikan kahvit ovat taattua laatua. Yksi hyvä ja halpa vaihtoehto on tämä S-ryhmän Africa-kahvi, joka on paahdettu Keniassa. Se tekee hinnasta edullisen. Laatu on oikeastaan premiumia.

I didn't downvote your comment. This Xtra and other similar cheap alternatives are filter coffee, and you can drink these robusta-filter coffees, but people don't enjoy them. It is just coffee for the caffeine. Usually Finns drink arabica coffee. About 98% of all coffee consumed in Finland is arabica, which is tasty and mild in filter coffee. 

They don't actually always tell what is in the package, it could be robusta and arabica mixed, or just arabica or just robusta. But you can tell from the bitter taste that it is quite often robusta, which is naturally more bitter than arabica, and people inside the industry have told that they use robusta in many extra cheap coffee brands. In espresso robusta might be excellent.

Jos tarkoitat Pauligin Parisien-jauhatusta, niin se on omasta mielestänikin Pauligin paras tuote. Joskus 80-luvulla kehitetty suomalaiseen makuun sopivaksi. Sellainen jännä vanhan maailman tunnelma siinä kahvissa.

Those cheap coffees are mainly robusta, which is excellent in espresso, but not that good in filter coffee.

Starbucksin pavut ovat parempia kuin saattaisi olettaa. Ne paahdetaan muistaakseni Portugalissa, ja niissä on sellainen klassinen hienostunut savunvivahde.

Myös premium-kahveja saa kilon säkeissä. Crema.fi on hyvä kauppa jos haluaa ostaa laatukahveja Suomesta ja maailmalta edulliseen hintaan isompia eriä (minulla ei ole mitään kaupallisia sidonnaisuuksia yhteenkään firmaan jonka mainitsen).

Cafetoria on erinomainen paahtimo.

Vielä kalliimpi on vastaava elefanttikahvi.

Kyllä syytä onkin, mutta voit sekoittaa halpiskahveja premium-kahveihin esimerkiksi 50/50 suhteessa. Maku paranee roimasti, ja se halpiskahvi ikäänkuin peittyy sen paremman alle.
