and I actually think that sweden got the highest taxes in the world, and I live inte the county that has the highest taxers in sweden.
Guess that means that I´m among the around 100 000 people that pays most taxes in the world then:D

I´d like to know what you mean, soo could you please reformulate?

Can't really get much clearer. It's a saying that I have heard since I was a kid, I even have it on my coffee mug. Pretty much Sweeds < Norwegians

ok, understand how you mean now :D
Well, guess I´t always have been like that. a couple of hundred years ago we were amost in constant war with norway or some other nation.
But I guess the worsed thing we ever did was to liberate norway in 1905, until then they belonged to us. And know Norway is the richest country in the world, they´ve got so much money that they can´t use it. If they did, it would cause inflation in all of norway.

Edit: Guess I didn´t:D As someone else said, it´s the other way around 1000 norweigans chased by one sweden:p

Heh, I like both Sweden and Norway, however, Luxemburg is cool as well :) Actually, given the chance, I would accept citizenship and move to Luxemburg anytime.

I've heard that swedes would rather more free time instead of more work/pay.

do you mean when you´re watching a movie at the cinema? then no, we don´t have intermissions in the middle of the movie.
that is if intermission mean some sort of break or pause. yet again, my english could be better:)

Sweden! Excellent!

Here's an old topic that came up in ATOT about how much the Swedes "love" their animals: link

They seem like really friendly people. Have fun!

Well, your capital is Stockholm, you have a reputation of going to Denmark and get drunk. A bridge was build between Malmö and Copenhagen. You have a Social Democrat Göran Persson has head of state.



Well I could go on for ever, but that might be because I live right next to you. :p

What I know about Sweden: blondes, cold, Lutherans, next to Norway

My family are displaced Norwegians, well a couple of generations removed from Norway.
Anyhow, I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas and I hope you enjoy your stay down here!
Where will you be at while you are in Texas, and why are you staying for a year?

By the way, leave the cold weather gear at home.
