" Finland declared best country in the world
Finns are delighted that a panel assembled by Newsweek magazine has decreed Finland the best country in the world, The Times of London reports.
The panel of economists and social policy experts measured countries according to quality of life, education, health, economic competitiveness and the political environment. Finland came first ahead of Switzerland and Sweden. The US and UK ranked 11th and 14th.
Aki Riihilahti, a player for the national football team, told The Times he thought Finns were "actually quite exceptional". Finnish handshakes were among the best in the world, he added."
I love all things Finnish. Well, except the alcohol problems. One of my wishes is to relearn the language before I can no longer talk. Imagine that, too old to talk.
