The big difference is you people dont drive anywhere.

THe US is huge compared to most of your countries. We think nothing of driving 1000 miles. The automoblie is far more a part of our culture. Most of us would be lost without one.

Gawain dont generalize.Finland has roughly the same amount of area as Germany and we have Five million people.If you ever pay a visit here i would be happy to drop you in the middle of Lapland and you can go find a busstop from there.

It's common to drive atleast 55km (34 miles) to daily work over there? And I'm living in the population dense area, so you can use public transportation with relative ease.

1.65 dollars/liter here

Yep, 34 miles *one way* is not uncommon. Urban sprawl is a big part of it. I had a coworker who used to drive 99 miles one way each day before we started working together--he and his wife worked in different cities.

Volume public transport in the U.S. is limited to a few cities.

Trow in some extra batteries for the laptop and we got a deal.

Gawain is an ex-marine so food shouldn't be a problem and even I can handle the water supplies in that area.

Uhm, Gawain feeling for a vacation in pleasant Scandinavia? Kagemucha and I can pay for it.

I think i can get some batteries.

Yes drinking water shouldnt be a problem just find a creek and drink and if you are afraid of germs boil the water before.Altough i would be worried about Gawains health when he would start to shoot raindeers.Saami people might get bit moody.

Well they haven't meet an ex-US marine before

Ofcourse it's probably quite a few Saami with fjälljägarutbildning (equals about the best reglar units we have here and they are trained speciffically for the terrain we're talking about here)

I've gotten an idea for a new reality show here.
