Is This Really Civilized?
Drunk people littering, vomiting and making noise everwhere, old kitchen appliances thrown into a creek, “foreigners should handle their own problems and starve to their war torn countries but not come here”, “I don’t care, life sucks, everything and everyone is bullshit: let’s drink until we’re sick enough for the society to support us”.
Are these really the characteristics of a civilized western country?

Damn, all this after a couple of blocks walking in Lahti?
Well, yeah. And the trains were late, again.
Oh, and I forgot to mention how one guy was so wasted that he broke two beer bottles on the train platform before he [or actually his girlfriend] got the third one open.
Answer: no, they are not. They are just characteristics of Lahti.
Thanks for stopping by Petteri!
Well, I believe these are more characteristics of the whole country, not just Lahti, which is sad and in the same time very alerting. How can you call something a civilized western country if the culture of doing alcohol is like this? Sometimes this kind of culture may have devastating effects in the lives of these people. Trust me, I have seen it very closely.
