Thanks for welcoming Viking visitors to California, although I'm not Danish myself (I'm Swedish).

We have many students of Danish descent at Santa Ynez Valley High School who look very authentic as Vikings. From a great Viking stock, as are you Swedes.

- Thanks for these words and greetings to sunny California from chilly (in a literal sense only) Gothenburg/Göteborg, the home of politically correct Volvos:)

It’s a great thing a lot of parents in both our parts of the world send their sons and daughters to study abroad (maybe it’s more common in Scandinavia, but I’ve come across several young Americans who’ve spent a year or so studying in Scandinavia and elsewhere in Europe).

Personally, I’ve never studied in the US (but at least I’ve been there - Fla), but from the age of 9 to 10 my family lived in the UK. At first, I wasn’t too keen on leaving my school and my friends here in Sweden, but today, at the age of 38, I can see the benefits of this experience.
