Maybe Finns should try weed instead of alcohol? Or would they get all paranoid and invade Estonia or something?

Denmark is a bit expensive but yeah, it's the best of the lot. Best weather, best beer, best girls, best weed, best parties.

...unless you look even vaguely middle-eastern in which case stay away, I mean Finns are racist but god drat even compared to us the Danes really, really hate their muslims

Yes. There was a 2001 study in europe that indicated that finnish men had the highest sperm count. Anti-social behavior in finland is so profound that it's placed selective pressure on men to make their shot count.

Well, we do have roughly 5 times as many per capita as you do. I'm pretty sure that means we're allowed to be up to 5 times as hateful.

After having holidayed and worked in all 5 scandic nations, I have to say Denmark is the WORST. Most expensive, most overpriced, most western (I got ripped off twice even though I am pretty smart with money and exchange rates), and the least interesting to visit. Copenhagen has a lovely tiny statue of a mermaid and some painted terraced houses to see....oh and a marijuana village you can't take pics in. The food sucked too...but no, I didn't go to any Michelin starred restaurant there.

I didn't get to see the Fjords of Norway as I was stuck in Helsinki for work, but I would go with Sweden=Iceland (depending on how much you like the outdoors.....I saw my first "vertical" waterfall there for example) > Finland > Norway > Denmark.

I think Denmark would be the least shocking to an American....or perhaps Norway.

Levantine decadence is not easily sated, and let's face it, seldom has there been a more choosy lot than Syrians. By now they've seen what the rest of Europe has to offer, and these people know comfort. 8 out of 10 Syrians agree – Sweden is the place to be!

norway. we have the most jobs and the most free money floating around. being a foreigner we'd love to have you doing customer service in electronics shops, picking strawberries, doing telemarketing, bartending or working in a hotel reception or selling Omega-3 supplements on the street.

we have the most useful language for mutual intelligibility, though we clutter it up in regional dialects and two written forms of the language.

you'll get lots of exercise, as there are usually wooded areas or mountains or hills within most towns and cities where you can go for a walk. also you'll find yourself walking alot in any case since public transportation, gas, taxi cabs and cars themselves are all expensive so if you have the time you'll often just find yourself walking someplace, and the cities in general are not designed for bikes.

it gets a bit dark and terrible many places during winter and people can be a bit cold and distant (I'd place norway behind finland and ahead of sweden on the misanthropy index), but fear not! norway has a built in safety valve against this in the form of outrageously expensive alcohol. you'll learn to adapt to this with economical binge drinking, getting most of your drunk on before you go out by drinking fast and heavy at some kind of private venue. if you prefer weed and such it can generally only be easily acquired in the big cities as far as i know, though you can get other stuff in the smaller places, norway is pretty much the scotland of scandinavia as far as heroin use goes.

but yeah, norway is the best. it's pretty great actually.

Because I am not a caveman / my mongol blood has been diluted enough by 'continental influences', I can see the good points of an egalitarian society that does not run on alcoholism, racism, misogyny and general resentment by badly educated hilbillies.

Then again I like to use conditioner on my hair so I guess Sweden is the country for me, after all, Solsidan here I come :allears:

It's probably swamp, because suo is Finnish for swamp and Finland is almost certainly derived from Fenland.
