I never had the idea soccer was adding anything particularly good or useful to our culture. I really really really despise it. Not what you'd call unbiased, eh?

Both my eldest son and nephew play soccer. No interest here though.

^ Do you mean "in case you're in Hungary" or just "in case you're hungry"?

Okay i have a few questions.
I’m doing a project on the conflict in Ex-Yugoslavia and international politics so I’m curious and i’ve noticed that there are members here from that area. They might be too personal – so feel free to ignore them if it is too tactless.

Is the conflict still an important part of life in your area?
Are the ethnic groups still divided or can you live side by side?
Are the animosities created during the war (for example the relationship between Serbs and Muslims from Bosnia) still there? Or have you forgiven each other?
Is nationalism still an important part in politics is Balkan countries?

Is this thing still on? Sweden, anyways. Ask me about anything except sports.

Can you describe the nature of the Swedes, their character?

Sweden is very familiar to me so I ask you how you like living in there. Also what do you think about us Finns? I think Sweden is a little better than Finland in almost every way.

I don't really have that much to compare with so I guess I kinda like living here. In the end it all depends on what you do yourself rather than where you happen to live.

From what I've seen of Finland it seems to be quite the same as here. What exactly do you find better with Sweden?
