That's funny, I had a fellow co-worker here who came from Sweden. He said that even when there was practically no corruption at all where he lived, life was incredibly boring.

He seemed to enjoy "having problems" here (yeah, that sounded strange to me too). Maybe those problems add adrenaline and emotion to our lives? Or maybe he was just crazy.



Life is boring in Scandinavia? I don't recognize that at all, I'll even go as far as to say it's the exact opposite.

Maybe he should try living in Copenhagen or Stockholm.


I don't see how needing to pay bribes makes life exciting. If he wants some danger in his life, he could take up an extreme sport...



Corruption is demoralizing. Unless he views it as tabloid gossip, which is... unimpressive.
