satw-channel: Scandinavia and the World

Paris Syndrome is almost exclusively experienced by Japanese tourists in France.
It happens to about 20 people every year when they realize that Paris isn't as romantic and beautiful as they expected, the culture shock causing people to feel sick, anxious, dizzy and hallucinate. The problem even seems to be getting worse as more people from other East Asian countries get enough money to travel to Paris.
Apparently the only cure for this is to leave France and never return.

The first recorded meetings between Japan and westerners are actually kind of sweet.

The Japanese thought there was some secret to using firearms but the Portuguese were just like "It's easy! Stand straight and close one eye! Couldn't be easier!" but the Japanese still thought it was more complicated than that and assumed the Portuguese were talking philosophy. It took some back and forth to make them understand that it wasn't a difficult discipline to shoot a rifle.

According to a fair few Swedes I've talked to this is a thing about Danes that really pisses them off, and it's even funnier because few Danes know about it.

Bedside Manners

I've been on my fair share of road trips with Brits, often as the only woman in the group, and I always thought it was sweet how the men would go out of their way to give me my privacy, even if the only privacy they could offer was letting me have my own bed while the rest of them lumped together on whatever was left.
I never asked for this and quite frankly it confused me the first few times because this isn't something I've experienced with Danish men, but they insisted and, well, it was very sweet.

It's a very common reaction in the Nordic countries to just dismiss Iceland's place on lists because they are so few people. I was reminded of this when I overheard two people talk about this list and one of them said "We have more people in our capital than they have people in their whole country. Of course it's easy to keep a place like that safe". Sweden had much the same reaction when Iceland was higher up on the list than them regarding gender equality. It's just a way for the rest of the Nordic countries to bump ourselves further up positive lists.

Plan for summer: Post SATW; GET THUMBS

Posting the newest scandinavia and the world comic,called Scaninavian Design in hope of getting tons of thumbs. So because Admin asked for detailed descriptions, this particular comic strip is mostly about Kuwait who needed a new tower build. So Kuwait asks Denmark to make a model, Denmark is representing the famous architect Jørn Utzon, who also designed the Sydney Opera house. The Character Denmark is usually portraited wither gay or drunk in these comics, and here is he clearly drunk and shows a few beer bottles as the model. Kuwait is not impressed and decide to ask the Swedish architect Sune Lindström, who is portraited by Sweden, to make a tower. It ends with Sweden pulling the same **** at Denmark, and presenting a mushroom as model.

Some of the comments on my last comic reminded me that I've been meaning to make a comic about this Australian saying. When used like this it basically means "I'm not here to waste time"
(I post this comic 1 to 1 including the description from the artist. If you want to support the artist then go check their site, they got merch and a patreon)

A few years ago a survey was done in Denmark that showed that most Danes like Germans more than any other nationalities (With Norwegians and Swedes in close second and third places), so consider this a loving warning to all you Germans who vacation in Denmark: remember that the sea is dangerous everywhere, even in Denmark. Every year a few tourists die, and it's almost always Germans. Your adoring tophat (aka Denmark) wants you to stay safe.

Scandinavia and the World, Masquerade

Masquerade
After my last comic so many Americans were like “The Scandinavian countries are so smart and we can’t even get Americans to wear masks” but the Scandinavian countries haven’t even suggested that people wear masks. All they’ve done is tell people to wear masks abroad because they otherwise risk getting a fine in countries where masks are mandatory.

Finland explained himself in the comic, but in 2010 Denmark started giving heroine to drug addicts for free and it was such a huge success that it has continued until today. Because of this Norway has started experimenting with it too.

It’s a lot cheaper for society because the addicts commit less crime, they don’t have to spend money on drugs so instead they spend it on things that are more healthy for them so they don’t end up on the hospital as often, they have to take the drugs in special clinics so there’s no chance of them taking an overdose or using dirty needles and spreading diseases among each other, there’s always staff ready to help them if they want to get off the drugs, and it’s a lot more effective way to help more people because addicts come into contact with professionals who want to help them before they even think about getting help themselves.

Nobody wants to be homeless or an addict. Though they often end up getting involved in criminality because of their situation, the act of being homeless or an addict is not a crime in itself and the people deserve help like anyone else.

The vikings tried very hard to prevent Christians from getting into Sami land because the vikings valued Sami magic very highly and often went to them for magical guidance, and they didn’t want to share that magic with Christians or want them to spoil what the Sami people had in some way. Unfortunately the vikings themselves were eventually converted and then tried to convert the Sami people themselves.
