The Nordics only seems perfect from the outside. Us that live here sometimes wonder why people ever thought it was a good idea to settle here. The winters are too long and dark. The summers are too short and cold. The people are too shy. We dont talk to strangers or neighbours.<p>We dream of some fairytale land where the sun always shines and people talk to strangers. I think there is such a place somewhere in South America.<p>We would trade the highest mountain for a piece of such a place.
