10 Things to Know About Swedes
27, Aug 2009Do you have Swedish friends and wonder their behavior is strange or just Swedish? What makes Swedes different from the other Europeans? And if you are visiting or just moved to Sweden, what should you know about them? Swedish men are shy. It will take some time to speak to one, especially if you don’t [...]
Swedish girls are everything what you fantasize about. They are tall, beautiful, blonde (although artificially blond dyed hair), busty, athletic, and strong. These viking women are the enigma wrapped in a conundrum because the men still haven’t figured them out. If dating Swedish men was confusing enough, then dating Swedish women must be more so. [...]
This Monday’s photos of Stockholm is from the Stockholm’s Midnattsloppet (August 15th, 2009) on Saturday night. Now a midnight run would entail running at midnight but for some odd reason, the first heat began at 22:00 and the race officially finished at 00:20. More than 21,000 people run the Midnattsloppet and even teenagers run in [...]
10 Things I Hate about Sweden
15, Aug 2009Sometimes I go crazy in Sweden. It just drives me bonkers. Any place that one lives in long enough would drive you insane but there are days when I really wonder if Swedes are mentally okay in the head. Here are my ten reasons why I hate Sweden because I can bitch and whine just [...]
Why are Swedish People stupid at Norwegian?
12, Aug 2009That’s the current raging question of the day as TheLocal and some other news groups write. I don’t see the issue with a linguistics professor, Dr. Finn-Erik Vinje (retired by the way, which totally allows him for full on bashing), asking a rhetorical question: Kvifor er svenskane så dumme? : Why are Swedes so dumb?

Sweden Photo Mondays: Stockholm Tunnelbanan
10, Aug 2009I am beginning a new series of articles on Lost in Stockholm entitled Swedish Photos on Mondays (well maybe later I can find a more graceful title). Today’s photos are ones I took two years ago when visiting Sweden for the first time. They are both of the Stockholm’s tunnelbana (the metro line). I love [...]

The Local’s Contradicting Coverage of the Day
8, Aug 2009The Local is the Swedish Newspaper in English. Basically, their journalists rip articles from Dagens Nyheter, Aftonbladed, Expressen and other Swedish newspapers and translate them into English. While TheLocal Sweden doesn’t have real journalism, at least they provide a service of English translated news for those of us unable to read Swedish. But I love [...]
Iceland: Visiting the Island Up North
6, Aug 2009My two year anniversary visit to Iceland is coming up so there’s going to be a few articles about my travels and plenty of reminiscing. What can I say, I love Iceland. =) If you are off the loop and looking for something fun to read, take a look at these old posts about Iceland. [...]
Stockholm Pride Parade 2009: Photos
3, Aug 2009After an impromptu discussion with a girlfriend on Thursday, we decided to have a watch the Stockholm Pride Parade on Saturday. Over 15 friends showed up for Indian snacks, köttbullar (thanks Ningning!), nachos, lordags godis, and plenty of alcohol. The police closed off Hornsgatan around 13.00 and by 14.00 the parade rounded to our area [...]
