What are the worries about living in the Nordic countries?

The five Nordic countries have always been a place that Chinese people want to travel to. They are famous for their high welfare, less people and more land, beautiful environment and pollution-free air.

Of course, this does not mean that there are no worries in living in Northern Europe. On the contrary, there are many worries.

Take a simple climate as an example. For a Nordic person, this is a lifelong trouble. Due to the geographical reasons in Northern Europe, every winter, there are less than 20 sunshine hours per week. For hours, there is still no sun. The most frightening thing is that this situation will last for half a year. For Chinese people who are used to being in the sun for long periods of time, this will make them feel depressed and uncomfortable.

Shopping is extremely inconvenient. Due to the small number of people, many things in Northern Europe have been imported for a long time, resulting in very high prices. For example, a small bottle of Coke only costs about 2 yuan in our country. The price, in Denmark, the price of a bottle of Coke is as high as 20 kronor, which is equivalent to RMB 24, and many things cannot be bought at high prices because you simply can’t find them. Especially friends who like tobacco and alcohol, it is estimated to go You'll go crazy there.

Traffic is extremely inconvenient. Compared with the convenient transportation in China, the traffic in Northern Europe is terrible. If the traffic jam in Beijing is due to too many cars, then in Northern Europe, it is because there are really too few transportation facilities. From one place to another, you often only have one way to go, and you may have to take a long detour to reach this road. In addition, due to the weather in Northern Europe, it snows heavily from time to time, and it is often impossible to even walk. , sometimes you may leave 4.5 hours in advance for a 1-hour journey.

High taxes. Nordic countries are famous for their high taxes around the world. Although high taxes represent high welfare, they are for families with children. If you are single, then these are nothing but taxes. Your share.

Of course there are many worries, so I won’t go into them one by one. I think these worries are also the reason why many people in China want to travel there, but few want to settle there.
