Everyday I love this country a little more...

Nordic countries are so advanced in so many things... Look at Swede, with its 6 hours/day of work.

What? Sweden works 40 hours per week.

They were transitioning to a six-hours workday, as far as I know.

Well I work and live in Sweden (notice I put work first?) and it's far from 6hrs/day for most industries. Actually now that I think about it I don't know a single person who only works 6 hours per day. The idea is great though, wish it were true :/
