Iceland:
This place looks like a killing field and all the cops look like asthmatic lumberjacks. I checked and there are like 4 murders a year.
Sweden:
It looks cool but I’ve met a bunch of Swedes in real life and they all speak English better than we do. Stockholm is probably just a smaller, cleaner, better educated New York, no thanks.
Norway:
Everyone is either grieving a death or plotting revenge, plus mountains and snow. If all Norwegians don’t look indie rockers with rich parents (but not in the cool way) my brain would implode and I don’t want to take that risk.
Finland:
Darkness. I know the sun comes up every day in Finland but I’d rather go on pretending it doesn’t.
