Sweden,

but only if you like vast numbers of the most beautiful women in the world
and high quality technical education
and don't get too depressed in miserable snowbound weather <- maybe that'd help make you study more

or Denmark

or there's Finland now that might be interesting

What about Iceland? They speaka da Anglish in Iceland

I was actually thinking about Sweden. The only negative thing I see about it is the freezing weather. Its around 10F right now and I'm sure it gets worse. I don't even own a jacket, so cold weather would be a huge change for me.

It's one of my favorite places. I've spent all told maybe 1.5 years or more in Sweden spread over many business trips. The archipelago east of Stockholm would be a wonderful place to live.

The summers are wonderful, but that's when you'd be off traveling away from there. The taxes are insane. The thing I said about beautiful women is true. Vikings killed everybody they raided, except if a girl was pretty they took her back, so that place is stocked with the gene pool of major pulchritude. The food is good, everybody has maybe a larger English vocabulary than most Americans, the winters are as you?d imagine. Good university at Linkoping in Ostergotland, where SAAB Aircraft is.

Couldn't get much more different than that contrasted to Lubbock, Texas, where my soulful old Volkswagon van threw a rod, died & remains till this day, probably rusting into the desert. That may have been the first time lots of Lubbock folks ever saw a real live surfboard.

A couple of weeks before that I had left my van at Abilene & hopped in freight train boxcars to New Orleans & back, recovered my van, got as far as Lubbock on my way toward Clovis heading home to California. Real nice people there. Real nice. I remember in Lubbock about 2:00 a.m. taking a "shower" by standing in a big sprinkler on the lawn of some chuch.

PRAGUE. quite easy decision for a student. although the other places mentioned are nice, they also happen to be mega expensive. switzerland, denmark, sweden, etc. prague will allow one to stretch a student budget much longer... unless student is from rich family, in which case it doesnt matter.


word to people bringing up swedish girls. (im currently in norway) scandinavian girls - all the natural blondes - are MEGA.HOT.
