Extracts:
Around 1900, Switzerland went from being a country of crops to a land of dairy farms and a home for banks, and hotels. Railways, laid by British engineers transported British travellers en masse to the Alps, many of them on Thomas Cook's tours. Just before the First World War, there were 22 million overnight stays in Swiss hotels. In the small Alpine village of Wengen, church services catered for German Protestants and French Catholics. Mass was also said in English. Tourists could choose from around 30 hotels, which signposted the hiking trails. Local property prices rose through the roof.
.... They tried to lure rich American visitors. The US had become the world leader in luxury accommodation and innovation, so Americans would expect the most modern conveniences and the grandest of residences if they were to venture to Switzerland. ... The political left and religious groups, particularly Catholics, said that hotels exposed the hypocrisy of a domestic society increasingly hostile to migrant workers, but which welcomed affluent foreign visitors. They saw hotels as a symbol of an unequal, unethical society.
... countries like Switzerland, whose economy and national image was built on what came to be called 'foreigners palaces'.

TEMPERAMENT AND THE STATE OF MIND
Swedes vs Finns vs Russians
Finns are extreme introverts. Russians are introverts. Swedes are extraverts. You hardly find introverts among ethnic Swedes. Ethnic Finns are never extraverts. Northern Russian are never extraverts.
Finnish temper is phlegmatic. Russians are phlegmatic. Swedish temper is sangvinic.
Finns don't smile. Russians don't smile. Swedes smile.
Finns are not ambitious. Russians are not ambitious. Swedes are ambitious
Finns are not big travellers for a long distances. Swedes are predisposed to travel everywhere, that once made them possible to have an empire.
Finns are close minded and not sociable. Russians are close minded and not sociable. Swedes are open minded and very communicative.
Russian and Finnish women have low voice timber. Both don't show emotions, no facial expressions, no gesticulation. Both developped the ability to telepathic communication
The word Finland is an exonym that came from Latin language. Finland means Ending Land in Latin . La fin also in French means the end. Finnish language doesn,t have a letter F. Finns call themselves 'SUOMI'. The letter F is foreigner in Russian language also.
When in 8th century Latin Church sent their geographers to draw maps of Europe they named the territory north of Baltic sea as 'Fin land' which means the 'End of the Land'. It was not the name of the country, it was just the end of the earth from the standpoint of ancient cartographers. Later Swedes have used Latin name of this territories as a geographical unit 'fin-land'. It had absolutely nothing to do with identity of local tribes of Ingrians, Karelians, Tavastians, Sami.

Extract:
“We were profoundly disappointed about the resilience of anti-Semitism in many countries where we had hoped to see lower numbers, particularly some in Eastern Europe that experienced the war and the Holocaust firsthand,” Mr. Foxman said. “On the other hand, there is a silver lining in countries such as Denmark, the U.K., the Netherlands and Sweden – all Protestant majority countries – where we found incredibly low levels of anti-Semitic beliefs. The Czech Republic stands out as well as being one of the lowest-ranked countries in Eastern Europe, with only 13 percent of the population manifesting anti-Semitic views. This is a testament to the high levels of tolerance and acceptance in Czech society.”
