Just loving move to Southern Europe. Portugal is a great choice. The food is fantastic, living costs are 20x cheaper than in Nordic countries, climate is better. You will miss snow I guess but that's about it.


and there are no jobs and the wages are like 30x lower. Have fun never being able to afford another holiday abroad.

Unless you're retired/a millionaire, in which case Portugal is amazing.

"No jobs" is a bit of a stretch. But if you are a retired millionaire, you should never ever consider a Nordic country.

Trust me. Portugal is a beautiful country full of educated young people who eke out a living by doing lovely part-time or seasonal jobs, and living with their parents until they can't take it no more and finally decide to emigrate.
If you live in scandinavian countries you get decent money and can go on holiday 2-3 times a year if you want. Plus the girls are hot and like to have one night stands. Well worth the lovely weather imo

how often do you eat polish food btw? do you ever eat pizza or do you need a sizeable italian community for that

We have at least 3 polish stores in my city, and I have two Polish colleagues. So now and then? Pizza is everywhere but it is definitely a Yugoslavian/Middle Eastern thing, you'll never see Italians making pizza (they are more likely to have pasta restaurants).

People eat food from other cultures literally everywhere in the world, not just in multicultural societies. Going all "thank god for immigrants so I don't have to eat boooring cod and herring everyday" is such a scandinavian thing to say and it's just silly. This coming from an immigrant.

While I was little, once in a while we would order up some "gook food" on Saturday nights.

Good thing I grew up in non-racist multicultural Canada and not in racist america where all they eat is amber waves of grain.

I had some poutine in Myanmar last year. The owner said he couldn't get proper curd though, so I guess it wasn't 100% the real deal

Yeah it actually very nice and the rent is cheap. And its also on the police top 15 most criminal neighborhoods list. The cops says that gangs runs the place, which is a loving joke.

"We can't effectively patrol the area because we risk getting attacked by a mob" does not mean "Ze Pequeno runs the favela with his child soldiers" and I'm not sure how that picture of a playground and a footpath proves them wrong

How do you know this? Do you know the participants? Seems to me that you are assuming right off the bat that LGBT and so-called "far right" (whatever that means in Sweden) are mutually exclusive.

It's true though, talking to foreign women is an exercise in feminist education. Mongrels. And then you feel guilty for explaining these concepts since you're a man. But whatever, I just try my best and spread light in this dark world.

That is a hugely important factor to anyone who cares about their mental health. Seriously, I feel immediately better when I go outside of the city centre, for example my mother-in-law's apartment which in a part of the city that's really green or our summerhouse. You of all people should understand that. :)

Don't get me wrong, access to nature and green areas is important but those places around Stockholm seem just fine for most people's use. Even if you can walk most trails with crocs or whatever. Maybe a lot of norwegians cherish the fact that they can walk off the bus and wade straight into a bog but that's not what makes one city better than another imo

I was actually thinking about rotisserie chicken, which is a staple in a lot of countries but I haven't found a good one here yet.

Other than that, yeah that dude's right. Cheaper food is often bland and tasteless, but there's plenty of decent restaurants around. They're expensive for a foreigner though, so if you're on a budget you'll get the impression that the food in Norway is not very good.

And traditional norwegian and swedish food is really good too. I don't get that kind of self-deprecating attitude a lot of scandinavians have towards their own food but I guess it's somehow related to this

Yeah that was a joke, I paid 250 kr for a pizza in Norway and almost fell off my chair when I saw the price. Literally no other restaurants nearby had vegetarian options so I was poo poo outta luck.

I could have eaten minke whale if I wanted, but if you're vegetarian in bergen? You're hosed.

Was an OK pizza, but nothing special.

Basically gently caress Norwegian food.

I was having dinner with colleagues at a fairly expensive restaurant in Trondheim and a Swedish colleague asked for the vegetarian menu.

Their reply: "We don't have any vegetarian alternatives but we can make the pasta dish without the meat in it".

Nordland has tons of insanely hot girls, and all the other regions I've been to aren't bad. Sure outside of the cities a lot of the girls are trashy solarium country bumpkins but they're still hotter than the average in any other country. The "big" cities have more attractive girls than anywhere else in the world.

If fit blonde girls put you off, I recommend you go to the Balkans or Portugal to for that mummitroll vibe

The day that kid stabs someone it will be more because of sociocultural factors in Sweden than because a norwegian kindergarten let him whittle some wood.
