World's most honest city:Helsinki. How did your hometown do? (people, stereotype)

[DontH8Me]

Interesting article about a little study done for next month's Reader's Digest.

Helsinki is the world's most honest city while Lisbon is the least in lost wallet test | Mail Online

Find it interesting, only one wallet was returned in Portugal, and that's because it was found by Dutch couple on holiday!

Stay away from Southern Europe

that pretty much sums up the difference in mentality between northern/southern europe.

It was me that didn't turn in the last wallet. Thanks for the £30, Reader's Digest!

No, but honestly, I'm not surprised at all. Finns are usually considered honest, and it's good to hear that people really live up to that expectation.

I bet if it were ever discovered who didn't return the wallet in Helsinki, they'd be the mooooost hated person.

Zurich, Switzerland same numbers as Bucharest, Romania and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

I'm not too sure, if I want to drop my wallet in Kallio.

Btw the first (and last) time someone tried to steal my wallet: Zurich. Quite a surprise to me.

No offense, but given how Mumbai is near the top of the list and Zurich is almost at the bottom, what this actually shows is that it's rather moronic to use this study to reinforce ("sum up"?) dumb and simplistic stereotypes.

We use Spain as our own adult amusement park. Anything goes
