What
do we think of when someone mentions Scandinavia (斯堪的纳维亚半岛), the group of
Northern European countries? Many things come to mind. We might think of the breathtaking
natural beauty of Norway's fjords (峡湾). If we enjoyed the
fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen as children, perhaps we will think of Denmark's
capital, Copenhagen, and its statue of Andersen's The Little Mermaid (《小美人鱼》).
Perhaps
we shiver at the thought of Scandinavia, as the countries there can be very cold.
Or maybe we imagine this part of the world, so high up in the Northern Hemisphere,
as dark and a little gloomy.
What
doesn't come to mind is people who like to party. However, according to a survey
released by travel site Hostelworld this month, Scandinavia has some of the most
sociable cities on the planet.
For
the study, 12,188 people from cities around the world were asked about their attitudes
to socializing. Overall, Gothenburg in Sweden came out on top, but Copenhagen and
Stockholm also placed highly, among with more predictably lively cities like New
York and Madrid.
