I'm soon travelling to Scandinavia and I am a little anxious about that. I know that belonging to the Church is great help because it's the same all over the world but can you plz share some of your experiences with me?
Thanks a lot!

Well, depending on where you are from in Argentina you will freeze in Scandinavia or not. English is widely spoken so that is a plus. If you have a good tan you will be a celebrity there. People are very polite and kind, very friendly and inquisitive. You will find they want to know everything about you. Share but do not boast.
The shock is the food. Nothing like we are used to in this side of the world. Remember: "when in Rome, do as the Romans" and roll with the punches.
