Just over a year ago I wrote about Finland being the world’s best kept secret. I was hoping that the situation might change for the better. In some ways it has. Finland has won more accolades. It has been named a world leader in more areas. While that is clearly better, the knowledge and recognition of these accomplishments has not gotten into the minds of enough people around the world to make a difference for Finland.
Most important of all, Finland has good products that work, and they work better than products made by others. What’s more, the products made by others that aren’t as good sell better. Being a marketing guy, this equates to only one thing - the missing ingredient in Finland is marketing. While you may not agree, I strongly believe that. If I am right, that’s good news because good marketers can take good products, and with the right marketing mix, transform them into successful products. Perhaps some in Finland have not realized it yet, but the country is a product. If you market it well, all boats will rise.
Beautiful and efficient. Wish we had more of them but people choose to live in detached houses in the middle of woods or some bumfuck towns for some reason.
Is there something wrong in that picture other than soviet tier buildings?

i sell and install products made in finland. they never worked. they work better than products made in eastern europe but its hard to argue for the price. how hard is it to hold two pieces of metal against each other at 90* and weld them there. then make another piece and weld it together at the precize same angle? now that they got bought up by germans its even harder to complain about the quality.
You do realize there are virtually no Finns living in that part of Helsinki? It's literally the most ghetto area of Finland and filled with Somalians/gypsies/Russians etc.

Thats a suburban not a city.

Don't worry, we will have more muslims proportionally speaking than Germany by the year 2050.
