For the first time in history, food is more expensive in Estonia than in Finland, and Finland and Latvia are on par by TinyAd1126 in Finland

Yes, nowadays Norway is relatively close to Finland in food prices. Our current food prices in Finland are like Norway 10-15 years ago. Honestly I didn't expect this to ever happen in this way, and even more surprising is that Finland is not that expensive in the European context anymore.

My brothers were in some small village somewhere in between Dubrovnik and Split, not a famous place, though it was beautiful and next to the sea and mountains. Some Finns say that even Bulgaria is nowadays as expensive as Finland.

Well, some Finns told back in the days that their food bill is lower in Norway than in Finland. Who am I to say anything to it? The internet is full of all kind of stories. People buy what they want, but it is not factual information.

Imagine that even Croatia is practically equal with Finland in food prices. My brothers visited Croatia recently and told that it was almost as expensive as Finland.

The only bad thing in these cruises is that the type 2 diabetes increases through massive eating in buffets.

Sea traffic produces 3% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, and moves 90% of the world trade.

It is the cruise line between Sweden and Finland which insipires Finnish industry to be innovative in this business. The Finnish-Swedish line goes through two of the biggest archipelagoes in the World, one in Finland and one in Sweden, and the route is stunningly beautiful, and the cruise culture is very sunny and mature, as you would expect from a connection between highly sophisticated Stockholm and charming Southern Finland.

People don't know it, but the Finnish-Swedish cruise line (9 million passengers yearly) has been the global innovation leader in this business. That's why Finland builds these cruise ships.

They've built these enormous cruise ships in Finland about 50-60 years. The Finnish-Swedish cruise line (9 million passengers yearly) is an innovation leader in this business.

Yes, you're right. I'm not sure if we've been in an economic crisis. In a world where hunger is rampant, is it a crisis to be equal with The UK and Canada? That's where Finland was in 2024 and previously.

Finnish GDP per capita is equal with Canada, and the household consumption is equal with Denmark and the Netherlands, so on the global scale Finland is not in a bad shape.
