Ya, hearing about scandinavia in the news is an interesting phenomena. I&#x27;m from America and I&#x27;m living in Scandinavia for the second time... While things seem to work pretty well, it&#x27;s definitely nothing like I perceived from reading about it in the news. My guess is the difference is caused by equality. While I was able to live a good life in several US cities, living a decent life in scandinavia is just available for a larger percentage of the population due to equality.
