Norwegians campaign to give Finland a mountain

The Nordics only seems perfect from the outside. Us that live here sometimes wonder why people ever thought it was a good idea to settle here. The winters are too long and dark. The summers are too short and cold. The people are too shy. We dont talk to strangers or neighbours.

We dream of some fairytale land where the sun always shines and people talk to strangers. I think there is such a place somewhere in South America.

We would trade the highest mountain for a piece of such a place.

Writing from Argentina here. As we happen to have the tallest peak in the Western hemisphere (Aconcagua, 6960m), on behalf of my country I must politely decline your offer.

Fiji here. Happy to trade an island or two for a glass or two of Ekofisk crude.

I'm a Dane sitting in such a place right now. It is summer down here. And my computer is plugged into a fibre optic internet connection.

No place is perfect, but right now I am not complaining.
