I live in Norway and am quite happy about it - so I think I'll stay here.


This would probably be my choice. Or maybe Iceland.

I like where I live sans the people.

Well, you could just have fun with Tri-nitros in international waters :P (no, don't follow the idea! )

Piracy is still illegal though and good thing too.

I think it's just computer game piracy that's illegal.  Piracy on the High Seas is protected under... er... a heritage act that preserves cultures and traditions of, um, our ancestors and stuff and... I'll get me coat.

Meatballs in lingonberry sauce, of course.


Meatballs? You can eat that pretty much anywhere.... and is lingonberry sauce and lingonberry jam the same thing? Never heard of the sauce and I live in Sweden..

I do like living in Helsinki, but if I had the choise.... hmm... maybe somewhere in New Zeland, with those beautiful sceneries. Never been there though, so I'm going by what I've seen on video.



Or Edinbrough - I HAVE been there, and it's a beautiful city. And the selection of fine scotch available there....



I also like Southern Poland, around Zakopane, though I don't speak Polish which might make living there somewhat difficult.

True, you can get meatballs over here too, but they're called ****gots* which seems to upset Americans for some reason.

As for lingonberry sauce, I encountered it in Ikea, so you'll have to ask them.  A Swedish friend of mine seemed familiar enough with it, though I don't recall his opinion exaclty.  Maybe I should go and bore him to death about it again!

Edit: * point proven, I think.

Hmmm,,, Before I would've said somewhere in SE Asia, like Singapore or KL, but I'm wayyyyy too socially liberal for those places. It's a shame really - food is SO good in that part of the world :( I think I'd fit in better in places like San Francisco, Portland, Seattle... or maybe somewhere like Vancouver... Not really sure.

Why Sweden?


Great hockey team
Hot blonde girls everywhere
Mature and civilized country
Very good living standard for ordinary people

I thought that was only Doctor Brain/Brian/Whatever's brand - All others I've seen, I think, have been called 'meatballs' rather than the alternative to which you're referring.

Mr. Brain's, I think, a name which was never a selling point!  I remember them being more commonly referred to using "that" name until probably the '90s when satellite telly brought more familiarity with American slang, after which it was probably decided that their former nomenclature wasn't so cool.

I giggle every time I see them in Tesco. Seriously :)

Probably something to do with them being quite strict with their drinking laws. If i recall right the drinking age is something really high in Sweden like 25. I may have it wrong but i'm too lazy to look it up myself. I know no kids drink on the streets they all find other things to do.

The minimum age for drinking any alcohol at bars and restaurants is 18, but if you want to buy alcohol to take home you buy it at Systembolaget but has to be at least 20.

We are allowed to drink at clubs when we turn 18, but we are not allowed to buy the good booze to take home until we're 20... "Kids" usually just buy from pushers (?) or convince an adult to buy for them and binge drink in some unlucky bastarads home... That's why they're not on the streets, as you put it. 

On topic: I want to live in many places, but since I'm such a wuss I could never imagine me living in some tropical island. Hence I'm planning on moving to Scotland to study/work for a couple of years. But otherwise, I think Sweden is a decent country to live in, atleast when we are not ruled by racists and the right wing.

If money were no object, I'd take up rotation between New Orleans (spring), Hong Kong (summer - yes, I know what it's like there in the summer, and I love it), France (fall), and New York (winter).
