When I worked at Stockholms Universitet (SU) we had a room with Vit D lights, TVs, black leather message chairs and coffee/snack/drinks.
It made a big difference.
I went through a divorce my first winter in Stockholm (wife stayed in the US). I can be quite an *******, but I wouldn't wish that upon anyone. However, what doesn't kill one, makes one stronger. I find central European partners much more to my liking as they're quite mentally robust (like Alaskans!) I also enjoyed everyone I met in Anchorage (the first time I played proper German board games, in fact!) with Air Force guys.
