Immigrant friends during the first few months: - I’m really impressed with how much focus Scandinavians put on “hygge” and interior design that makes it pleasant to relax inside. I wonder why.

Same friends two months into winter where it is dark most of the day, everything is cold, walking on the ground will break your bones if you aren’t careful, and the rain and sleet will soak your shoes and jacket and they will never really dry out until June: - Yeah okay I get it now.
