Business as usual: only 1000 cars torched

Interestingly, I have not noticed any Finnish news coverage at all concerning rioting and torching cars in France. It seems to be such an accepted and ordinary phenomenon in French life that it's simply not worth noticing in international news that only 1137 cars were set alight on New Year's eve.

Perhaps it only becomes relevant news if the past record (1147 cars) is exceeded.

In other news, France is, however, the best place to live:

Germany 4th, USA 7th, Finland 18th, UK 25th. Sweden apparently did not make the top 25.
