For those who wonder...
My favourite ever country names are Sweden and Norway. Not even because I like the countries - take that out of the equation. I also just love the names. Country names like Thailand and Finland amuse me greatly, because it just seems like a rather simplistic construction - where do Thai people belong? In Thai-land. Where do Finns belong? In Fin-land.
But Sweden and Norway are just great. Sweden mostly because it has "Eden" in it. So, it's like Swedish Paradise, but all clever and beautiful, like a well-crafted brand name. The name Norway I've loved ever since I heard it breathed through refrigerated spray on a Disney Epcot ride. Norway, Norroway, the way to the north. Just delicious.
Here is the place where I am to ramble about life and love and languages. You'll probably encounter some quasi-anthropological ranting and a lot of wanderlust. I do try not to be too emo, and occasionally throw in things of worldly interest, so stop by and read if you have a few minutes. :)
