The world's most honest city

It was a surprise again. Fortunately, we have never been robbed. However, the husband has twice been noticed by passers-by when he had dropped his wallet from his trouser pocket. Both times in Benidorm.

When we were in Lisbon 8 years ago, we were robbed in the early morning at 9.30 while waiting for our flight home. Surely most people there would keep a wallet if they found one. That they are more honest in most other cities is good and I wonder how it is in Sweden?

I think Singapore and Beijing should be included. Two very safe cities and in both of them I have forgotten things and had them returned to me by resourceful residents. But good for Helsinki.

I have never experienced anything like that. Son and daughter-in-law (Japanese) say that in Japan's big cities it's pretty safe to lose something. The stuff comes back.

Hmmm now I've never lost any valuables directly, like a wallet or mobile phone or something... just about 1 million dummies that the kid has thrown out of the trolley (and that there is actually always someone friendly who notices and comes running after you) 😛

But overall, I think it feels like people in general around the world are honest. I think people are honest and helpful, you do not want to have on your conscience that you stole someone else's things, but then of course there are some who are exceptions 😉.

However, I am amazed at how careless people actually are! In my life I have found a handful of key rings, 3 mobile phones, 1 laptop, 2 lost dogs and 2 wallets. Which, of course, have been returned to their rightful owner 🙂.

Interesting! While NY is now named one of the world's most dangerous cities... Dangerous but honest, perhaps!
