I must admit that your arguments are convincing. Long summers, midnight dips in lakes, it's all very appealing. Maybe I should come only in summer and then get back home.Chrill wrote: ↑30 Oct 2023 08:06 We do come with other advantages, including the wonderful nature and clean air. As well as lovely summers, where depending on how far north you go you can get 24 hours of sunshine uninterrupted. In Stockholm at the peak, the sun sets at around 10pm and rises again around 3:30am. Of course at this latitude, even after sunset it doesn't really get dark because the sun is essentially hovering just below the horizon. You can easily go for a midnight stroll or even a midnight bath in a lake in the moonlight.
But it is fair to point out I had a Brazilian friend who spent two winters in Sweden and then moved back home. He loved learning to go skiing, he loved the Swedish summers, but he could not cope with the winters. It was too dark, too cold, too isolated. Admittedly he is currently in the process of moving to Norway so we shall see how long he lasts.
Damn, it must be a big contrast with Brazil. We'll see how he does.
