Sweden

Quote from Marten_R:

typically 30% on your winnings, but there are some ways to lessen that to almost zero. (in swedish Kapitalförsäkring)

Please tell, why is it that every Swede speaks English, but there are absolutely no street signs or directions in English?

Coming from any other language, it's impossible to find your way around. Yet you pull into any service station or hotel, or stop any motorist, and you all speak perfect English. But not a single sign.

Very strange. And an excellent way to discourage tourism and overcrowding. :p

Hehe, don't know but I suppose it could be one way to make tourists discover our perfect English :p
 
Quote from Skog:

I know, it's a classic. :-)

I'm a Norwegian living in Copenhagen... Oddly enough, my Danish friends don't find those videos funny at all.... :-D

Ah man, had to watch it again just today :eek: :p ...

Don't get me wrong...I like Danmark a lot, travel there whenever my schedule allows it... but the sound and pronunciation of this language is just very... unique :D

I've actually started learning Dansk a while ago, might even move to DK.

Hilsen,
Marsupilami

Really? To almost zero? Tell me more...

I'm getting tired of the U.S. I have relatives in the Gothenberg area (my Dad's family is from Smoland) and I've toyed with the idea of relocating for a bit...
 
Hi there,

Can I ask the guys living in Copenhagen what and where they trade? Personally I trade Futures in London at the moment, but am looking for a trading firm in Copenhagen with access to LIFFE, Eurex etc. Any ideas guys?

Thanks.
