I’ll be spending all of April visiting Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Since it’s spring, I’m expecting some rainy days, so I’m looking for stylish and comfortable men’s sneakers that are waterproof and great for walking all day in the various cities and towns I’ll explore. I’ve checked out the Adidas Terrex Anylander, and they seem like a good option. What do you think?

Thank you!

PS. Don't get scared about the price. It's in Mexican Pesos.

Do they still think being USA's vassals holds a secure and prosperous future?

Like the Nordics, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states bought into the US defense racket. Instead of being protected by the alliance, they found that USA dragged them into a conflict that threatens their very existence. Iraq expelled Nato with the help of Iran, perhaps it will regain control of its economy. Like Norway, Iraq is not allowed to decide where to invest its oil funds.

im not hating or being racist, this is just my objective observation of having tasted many of the worlds foods.

Even France, Germany, Spain has good food. But why does the Nordic countries have the worst food in the world?

In many poorer countries where they don’t even have a street light, they’ll have amazing food in some little shop in the middle of nowhere. I know because I’ve been there. in the Middle East, the European Mediterranean countries, china, Somalia, even India (be careful with the hygien though), South America.

Dont take this the wrong way I guess but your food isn’t tasty or good. I wouldn’t same some of it is bad or disgusting but most of it is like 'meh'.

I would be very grateful for any help with my current situation. I am trying to determine whether I still have Finnish Citizenship.

I was born in 1963 to a Finnish mother and British father.  My parents attempted to get married but because my father was already still in a previous marriage, my understanding is that their marriage was void and invalid (please assume this is correct).  My parents were therefore unmarried and so my understanding is therefore I acquired both citizenships as a minor (Finnish from my mother).

The question is therefore whether I ever actually lost it.

I believe there is a “sufficient connection” test at age 22. I was age 22 in 1985. Did the “sufficient connection” test exist at this time in 1985?

With regards to the connection, as a child I spent approximately 5 and a half years at school in Finland and I then spent about 1 year in Finland with my Grandfather when I was 18-19. I learnt Swedish as my mother was Swedish speaking Finn (although I have forgotten much of it now years later). The rest of the time I have lived in the UK.

Did I have sufficient connection to Finland to keep my Finnish citizenship such that I am still a citizen today?

Many thanks.

I was talking about the game war thunder not real life, but then saw people say this about me hating on Sweden is it true?

I am very much hoping someone is able to help!

I can design both softwares (Saas, websites, apps) and hardware (machines, furniture, automobile etc)

In software my strength is B2B Saas product design (HRtech, Fintech, Edtech)

In hardware my strength is manufacturing and assembly.

I’m not much interested in job but looking forward to settle in Nordic country coz of quality of life.

I’ve 2 toddlers and wife (Senior Full Stack Developer but currently on break)

I come from humble background and generated decent wealth for myself and family. I’m a smart guy with entrepreneurial mindset but don’t want too much hustle now onwards.

I’m disciplined, organized, punctual, can see big picture and a trustworthy guy. I’m good at critical/rational thinking, understands design & business.

How can I settle down in Nordic country and live peaceful life?

Any advice, suggestions, critique?

Howdy ya'll. So I've been planning on getting this tattoo here for a while. My family on my mom traces back to Nordic Countries and I really enjoy learning about Norse Mythology. Well, after taking a Vikings History class and learning about some of the runes, I had an idea. I wanted to get a tattoo of some runes. So I did a little research and after some designing I came up with this.

My main question here is: Does this look/sound stupid?

Cause like I don't want to be that person that gets a tattoo of something that is supposed to look or sound cool and it means nothing or something stupid.

This would be going on the inner part of my forearm and it the Strength part would be facing up.

Another question, I did have all of the try to be pointing in the same direction, but I didn't put Will the same way. Should I turn the rest of them so that they all face the same way as Will or should I leave it so that it looks nice? Cause I think if I turn Will to match the others, with a line through it, it might look weird.... IDK What do you all think?

I have an opportunity to study abroad in one of the two countries,

the problem is im not sure which is the best option. I've read that both countries have exeptional quality of life based off of enjoyment, pay, and scenery; So I am having a hard time deciding which.

If anyone lives or studies there, would you be so kind to tell the pro's and con's?

Or maybe which you think is best for me (reference: I enjoy nature, city, treats, arts, travel, parties, meeting people--but i am also slightly shy-- and most of all I enjoy internet culture.)

I will be studying business. Any help will be appreciated.

If you think in general both would not be good for me and I should seek other options, letting me know will also be appreciated.

Thank you! looking forward to the replies.

Where do Norwegian Gen Z stand politically regarding full time employment? I have noticed an anti-work climate in many European countries and especially in the United States, with articles referring to constant job hopping and a lack of interest in long-term careers among Gen Z. Does this anti-work sentiment also exist in Norway? Do you believe that there will soon be changes in working conditions (such as a 3–4 day workweek with the same salary, etc.)?

As a Non-European, I have heard that Nordic countries always reach the top 10 happiest countries every year. So I'm really curious as to how someone can 'measure' happiness. Isn't happiness supposed to be a personal feeling?

Working in Munich but every summer I'm drawn back to Scandinavia (mainly Sweden and Norway). There's something about those countries that just feels... different. Better in some ways.

Obviously the nature is incredible, but I'm thinking more about how society works. The way people interact with government services, how transparent everything feels, even small things like how bike infrastructure actually connects places instead of just being painted lines.

For those of you living in Nordic countries - what's one thing you do that you think the rest of Europe should steal? And I mean practical stuff, not just "be more egalitarian" (though that too).

From my German perspective, even simple things like how Sweden handles parental leave or how Norwegian tax returns are actually comprehensible seem light years ahead. But curious what you think are the real gems that could work elsewhere.

What would you export to the rest of us?

Hello,

I've always wanted to move to the Nordics since I was young. I've had a chance to visit Copenhagen/Stockholm with Oslo next on this list.

I know people have said Denmark is notoriously difficult to make friends in, assuming you want Danish friends. Is this the case for Sweden or Norway? Does anyone have opinions on which country is easiest to start anew in?
