Quite possibly, with many slight variations on her including bosom and arse size...always blond though; eyes either blue or green...

Im not a teacher.

They make far more in relative terms? I find that hard to believe. One of the greatest countries in the world? I guess that would depend on your definition of great.

Thanks for the link.

I am a dual citizen of Hungary and the USA; because Hungary acceded to the EU in 2004, phase 2 transitional agreements for EU-10 states (of which Hungary is part) regarding the labour market are still in place. In 2009 phase 3 will be introduced, resulting in still fewer restrictions and in 2011 all restrictions must be lifted, as stated by law. Norway, being part of the EEA, yet not part of the EU (the most controversial issue in Norway today) may or may not be available to me. In general it looks positive as Iceland is not EU and has lifted all restrictions.

Still I would be a lousy waitor. Some more advanced qualification and I will try my luck in a few years; Denmark is also very nice and the people are more outgoing...

Norway... I've only been to Oslo and Bergen, and for less than a week in total. Two things really struck me: beauty and cost. It must be about the most expensive country to which I've ever been (and I've been to 35). One of the things I remember best is going hiking in the mountains wearing shorts and a raincoat, when everyone else was all kitted out head to toe in expensive gear, and all the Norweigians pointing me out and saying things like 'typical British'. Hmmm, now it what other country might that happen?

If I could work in Norway as a secondary school teacher making about 150% of the per capita GDP with free rent on a two-bedroom place I might consider it.

I'm definitely a Scandinaviaphile. I've only ever been to Denmark alas. I think I'd prefer the girls in Korea and the milder winter, but I can think of no other reason at all. I'd love to learn Norwegian and needless to say a conversation with a Norwegian would be substantially less likely to yield the kind of utterly base gibberish Koreans come out with. Laughing
