i'm scandinavian and i respectfully disagree. the whole "women from <country> are fawkin hawt!!!!" is played out. i mean, people need to travel more. it's the same shit everywhere. take the whole blonde pretty swedish girl-thing for example. it's not like sweden has an excess of hot, blonde women, but there's more blondes altogether meaning the chances that an unspecified hot girl will be blond are higher.
also, when you go on vacation pretty much everybody looks hot running around in skimpy clothes showing lots of skin, or being of some exotic heritage or another. a girl who'd normally score a four with you might get a five just because she's (almost) naked, right?
