BS>>> Hmm! Why would you charecterize denmark as non-industrialized?

 BF>> For one thing among others, you are the biggest christmas-tree exporter
 BF>> in Europe.
 BF>> And the biggest pig-ham exporter. No need for high-tech there.

 BS> Oh that's right.

Agreed.

 BS> But actually in the last years, we have most employment, in the Service
 BS> sector.. Like office workers, it developers, etc.

And you have a /very/ nice holliday country.
One thing I like with Denmark is that you have kept the "small buisness".
Everyone buys at the local farmer, local shop and so on. Here we go to
the Super BIG market and buy stuff from all over the world but you keep
the buisness "in the family". I whish we could do the same.

 BF>> Sweden exports high-tech cars and mobile phones.

 BS> Volvo (Internal scandinavian joke "Voldsom Volvo") and Ericsson ...

What is Voldsom with Volvo? I don't understand the word and it's not in
my dictionary.

 BF>> The Norwegians exports high-tech oil and high-tech fish.

 BS> How can fish be hi-tech?

Fish in high-tech oil?

 BF>> Finland also exports high-tech mobile phones and rubber boots.

 BS> Whitch mobile phones? Companey name?

But little dear Bo, haven' you heard of Nokia?  :-)
They started making rubber boots in a little village and then tyres and
are now one of The mobile phone makers in the world.
Everyone in that village (don't remember the name) are now millionares.
