A list of puns related to "Comparison of the Benelux countries"
I'm looking for books covering the German invasion of Belgium, Netherlands and Luxemburg in 1940, but so far I've not found much. Any recommendations? Thanks!
Sorry for the weird structure of the question.
Also you guys have raccoons there?
I study 5th year of the Faculty of Economics at the Technical University of Ostrava VΕ B-TUO, Field Marketing and Business. Iβve chosen Canada, where I lived for a year. I had an amazing time and experienced first-hand the nature of Canadian people.

Im currently studying in Germany, the racism in Malaysia and Germany are very different.
In Germany, as long as you are able to speak the local language fluently, you will hardly get any racist remarks, so most second generations here are fine I guess. So this is very hard for new comers or for international students who arent really good at learning new languages. But when you do meet a racist person, its really bad. Ive seen a Neo Nazi protest a few times in my life, the first being a protest against a group of Malaysian students living in a Jugendherberge ( student hostel ). The Hausmeister ( house takecarer ) really handled the issues nicely because hardly anyone knew what happened in the night because I was asking people ( students from India, China and Germany themselves and they had no idea. Even my Malaysia friend), despite the loud protest. I got lucky to see the hooplas as I was washing my laundry, so I had the view of the back of the building. Holy hell, imagine being so excited, coming to Europe for the first time, hyped up to study only to see such a situation.
Ignorance can be a bliss and at those times where our German grasp was minimal, we (me and friends) didnt understand what they were protesting about but I did catch the gist.
The second one was at a liberal/progressive rally. It was a fun and peaceful demonstration, like kinda like a festival, then groups of Neo Nazis actually turned up resisting their cause. I felt pretty safe though because the more serious one happened quite far from the central rally.
I remember when I was in Malaysia, I felt really racist, like why the fuck cant the Chinese and Indians speak their national language like the second generations in Germany can speak German. But after a while, I rejoice at the sight of Malaysians anywhere I go regardless of race. Chinese from China and Indians from India are reaaaly different. I learned to celebrate Malaysians after I left Malaysia. I do have a different perspective of patriotism as I always thought before that the inability to speak the national language = disloyalty to the country. But hey I was young and stupid.
The one negative remark that i felt to my bone was when some older local actually compared me to a ni**er. That was the moment I swore, if I ever meet Africans I would never have negative stereotypes of them before even knowing them.
The racism in both countries are very different, but the only difference is that Germans are standing on thin eyes if th

Many posts in this subreddit are from potential university exchange students asking which Nordic country they should go to, and we all try to convince them that our country has the best universities as a matter of national pride. This post is an attempt to give an answer to which country has the best universities using an aggregate score of the two major international university ranking lists (QS World University Rankings and Times Higher Education World University Rankings) and adjusting for population.
##Results
Country | Population | No. universities in QS Top 916 | Avg. Rank (lower is better) | Score per capita (higher is better) | No. universities in THE Top 980 | Avg. Rank (lower is better) | Score per capita (higher is better) | Combined score (higher is better) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Denmark | 5707251 | 5 | 211.6 | 41.40 | 7 | 245.57 | 49.94 | 91.34 |
Finland | 5488543 | 10 | 343.7 | 53.01 | 9 | 340.66 | 48.13 | 101.14 |
Iceland | 332529 | 0 | - | - | 1 | 225 | 133.65 | 133.65 |
Norway | 5252166 | 4 | 231.5 | 32.89 | 5 | 291.4 | 32.66 | 65.56 |
Sweden | 10004076 | 8 | 180.37 | 44.33 | 11 | 211.72 | 51.93 | 96.26 |
Estonia | 1315635 | 2 | 486 | 31.27 | 2 | 512.5 | 29.66 | 60.94 |
The scores are proportional to universities per average university rank per capita. I.e. in this scoring system it's equally good to have 10 universities with an average rank of 200 and 5 universities with an average rank of 100. The scores are also adjusted for population and they can be seen as a measure of the density of high level universities in a country.
##Conclusions
The combined scores are remarkably similar. It's so close that you can't make any statistically significant conclusion of which country has the better universities. The uncertainty for the top scoring Iceland is especially high as it's only based on a single university that only made one of the lists.
Norway and Estonia are lagging behind the other Nordic countries a bit. Norway's comparatively low score can be at least partly attributed to the fact that they until their 1994 university college reform had lots of local smaller colleges rather than larger university campuses as in the other Nordic countries. Norway can probably be expected to catch up

To clarify, I am trying to compare the number of deaths by country in recent wars compared to the education level of that same country.
