This is Philip Hwang, one of the managing editors of Egg Magazine, a publication focusing on architecture, design, and fashion. For our upcoming, November issue our theme, incidentally, is Scandinavia–meatballs, lego, and all. Given that the real Scandinavia is far far away however, we’re hoping to find a few interested (and capable!) folks familiar enough with Scandinavian culture to propose and write articles. If there are writers interested, drop me a line at www.eggmagazine.com or ask someone–we’re quite well known among those in the know! *wink
*ah yes…there will be money involved!
**photographers, photo essays are more than welcome!!
I am scandinavian all right, any special you want to know?
Design is worethy of a piece.
Architecture is certaily worth a piece.
Foods as you mentioned, make sure that each country gets a paragraph - there are 5 of them.
The people/culture - background on them.
Industry and business - sure you can draw out all the success stories, lego, Nokia, Maersk, Novo.

OSLO, Norway - Norway will top a 2005 U.N. ranking as the best country in which to live for the fifth year in a row, the head of the U.N. Development Program (UNDP) said on Friday.
Rich from North Sea oil and with a generous welfare state, Norway has led the world ranking since it ousted Canada from top spot in 2001. The annual list ranks countries by an index combining wealth, education and life expectancy.
