Re:What is your Northern perspective?

hi, I have been living and visiting Nordic countries the last 6 months because my doctoral research, and because of that I made my own blog (in spanish!), so if you want to have look on it, click on:

Already I had been in Nordic countries before but always in summertime. As my research is about anthropology,art, culture and management. So,now , after being here (I still in Stockholm with afew days left) in winter, I must say that we need to spend a full year with the four seasons to feel the culture of these countries.
More than never I realised how human being is influenced by his environment, and I felt very much so being up here, this could be applied in general to the Nordic countries.. Humor, mode, openess, appeareance, the way people interact each other, all these things and more change dramatically from winter to summer ,and from autumm to spring, and these can not be controlled by human being.

But, if we look in specific way to some things which are controlled by the human being as how a society is organised, then I must say that I did find some differences between Nordic countries.

If you are interested about my experiences in Demark, Finland and Sweden ( a bit Norway), do not hesitate and contact me through my webpage!

By the way, I do not regret at all about my time here,it has been totally worth,is it enough to say that I would do it again and again???

Best regards!
