Everything is made out of Legos

I've been to Legoland in Carlsbad. Is it like that but with more pickled fish?

What are the laws in Finland that make booze so hard to get? Is it like Washington with the whole state run liquor stores?

Finland issues all new mothers a, "maternity box," containing snow suits, a sleeping bag, mittens, hat, condoms (never too early), a towel, various bits of clothing and some other odds and ends in addition to the box itself being usable as a kind of crib/baby storage.

This isn't helping my desire to emigrate.

I like the American way where they roll you to the front of the hospital and then dump you out with your baby onto the street before closing the door behind them.

Norway is cheaper than ever before though, our currency has plummeted in value the last year and a half or something. Like you'll get almost 50% more NOK for $ than you would before , a bit less for Euros and pounds.

So if I want to see the munch museum and poop off a fjord now is a good time to go?

This thread is doing a very good job of repping Finland. I thought it was a nowhere European backwater but now i think it's full of chill rear end hombres that would help eat the rich if given the chance.
