Christopher:Good to see that you got some experience here in Stockholm. SUVs are actually there just not everywhere, which i think ae a good thing.

Stockholm is a very nice city in the summer. Living here myself makes me forget that sometimes. Thanks for reminding me.

There are quite many aware of new media and using it in different ways. This is a growing buisness as well. I myself made an online magazine using Wordpress. http://bildochfoto.se/ just to show that blog can be more than "diary on the internet" which MSM here in sweden tried to framed blog as.

2. Hotel room, it was tiny with a single bed, apparently this is common in Sweden if you book a single room.

3.Podcamp people are super smart and good company

4. nice trains that run on perfect time.

5. Manners, Swedes are really nice

6. Everything isn't as expensive as the tour books lead you to believe
