Hello from Sweden!

but 200k is still quite big city I would say.
Uppsala is a university town I understand, but is quite populous also, isn't it?

They are moving to Malmö, going from 4th largest to 3rd largest city in Sweden.

I think the students account for about 30-40 thousand of the population in Uppsala. But the city isn't that big but the municipality is quite large!

lol, im actually moving there this fall!

You are moving to Uppsala or Malmö?

Uppsala is a beautiful place! never been to Malmö yet although I've been to Denmark which is like right across from the bridge from Malmö. lol

I love Nordic countries.

Im from Uppsala and I live in Uppsala now I'm moving to Malmö or Lund to study! Lund is about 10 min by train from Malmö!

Never been to denmark actually but i've heard it's quite nice, lots of hotdogs and bear!

I think the only downside with nordic countries are the winters, maybe not in malmö or denmark but in Uppsala and in norther parts the winter is almost painful!

[NYCorchidman]

Winter in Denmark sucks. lol
Dark and wet. hahaha

Yeah, nothing is perfect I guess.

I love cities and countryside. Copenhagen is beautiful, but Denmark overall lacks natural beauty that other Nordic countries have lots of.

I imagine it's something like the southern swedish winter, cold and wet. uh.

Ye it's a shame that i live on the flat side of the nordic countries, i've been told it looks quite like the area around NY, flat with mixed vegetation! I don't know if that correct tho?

[NYCorchidman]

Well, if you meant NYC, then there are only trees on certain streets and small patches of parks throughout the city. Ok, Central Park isn't too small. lol

The rest of the state is (of course depending on what part) pretty green and beautiful as far as natural landscape goes.

The whole northern east of US is rather low and flat, but nothing like Denmark. Denmark is flat and much different than NY.

Well, maybe if you drive from NYC into the long stretch of long island, then it may look a little more alike.

No offence of any kind to Denmark intended.
