. All of these Nordic societies are pretty closed. It is very difficult for a foreigner to become part of these communities. Regarding work, Sweden (for instance) has a general policy of 'last hired first fired.' Meaning, when a company cuts staff, they are required by law to cut the junior-most sta...

In this case, I'm quite happy that names were not posted ... this opens us up to liability for defamation and other legal actions. If a member wishes to post ...
