Scandinavia........... hmmm ................ well uh... They have like really big deer there.

My sister was once bitten by a moose.

Moose bites can be very nasty

The people responsable for writing that the other people should be sacked have been sacked.

There is only 3 things i can tell you about Scandinavia from the 7 days i have spent in that area.

1. It's bloody cold.

2. It's bloody expensive

3. The people are very nice..... probably since thats the only way they can get you to come back to thier cold and expensive country.

True true, but I tell ya its rather hot in summers, even for you others...
Expensive? Yeah! for you other guys lol! But seriously, it is.
Cold in winter? well dont wanna calculate Farenheights, but it can be down to -50c ...(in other words, boiling water will turn to snow if you throw it up in the air(NO joke!)) lol

If someone challenges you to a duel, you have to fight until one party has three of their sheilds broken, Then you get to kill them, unless they step to the side and chop your head off. I saw that in a movie once.

viking!

I went to spend a couple weeks in Finland a few years back. Finns are the friendliest, most beautiful people in the world. Even the bums in Helsinki were generally cordial (he saw my pained expression when he propositioned me in his native tongue, apologized and coninued in perfect English!) I visited during the summer, which was highly recomended considering Finnish Winters regularly kill unprepared people. First thing I noticed in the home I was staying at was the lack of a bathtub, there was a shower and a sauna off to the side behind a door of wood and glass. Apparently that's a common feature in most Finnish homes. An old Finnish proverb states "First you build the Sauna, then the house".

I was worried about how the locals would take to a Yankee like me (this is way before our current mess) but felt silly soon after because I was a fellow Finn within hours. After the two weeks leaving Finland felt like leaving home.

I celebrated Midsummer Fest (longest day of the year- 12:30 am sunset!) with the Finns I was staying with. It generally consisted of three days drinking in the 200 degree sauna for 20 minutes and then running outside and jumping into the 40 degree water of the nearby lake. Finns love to drink. They are unabashed drunks. My host told me that Midsummer was probably the most anticipated Finnish holiday- all the Liquor Stores looked like Toys R Us on Christmas Eve.

I loved my stay there and would go back in a heartbeat.

Lol im impressed, guess I underestimated u ppl :D
Why? Well bc I have spoken to ppl across internet who asked if we had telephone there, Norway was the capital of sweden and where in russia lies Norway lol
and lets not forget that one guy who asked if it werent scary with polar bears wandering around in the streets(In norway and Sweden). Besides I saw an X-Files episode once, where they were in Norway(I think) where all the people communicated in a way that sounded like an attempt to pronounce something like this; Raititotototioo (still no joke)
