I have been living here for more than a month, and I go out all the time, yet still nothing happened, and no one approached me. I feel so safe here to leave my stuff and then come back to them again. It's a great city in a great country.

Lahti has a little bit bad reputation. People called it the Chicago of Finland. I have never felt scared there and I think the bad reputation is coming from drugs. It is a very small town and for example when walking during night, you might not see anybody.
