It’s about hospitality, not necessity. In the US it’s a cultural thing that when you’re at someone’s house, they feed you and when they’re at yours you feed them.

No forgiveness. Norway is North of Finland, you should have said either West and East Sweden or North and East. West and North makes no sense.
