I live in Australia but am in the process of planning (or fighting through the decision-making process) of moving to Sweden. Not sure if this will be long-term or short. I don't have a job lined up for me or anything like that (this would ease a few concerns). Seeing your blog has made it all look even more inviting than I already anticipated. I have a friend in Sweden who says I should stay in Australia (but I think he is remembering the good old days of the 90s and through the fog of pleasant memories.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, not sure what happens with this comment now.

Many Swedes also get the day between the holiday and the weekend off as well, a so called "klämdag" (squeeze day).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32973186.post-9017011458986252282007-04-24T09:23:00.000-07:002007-04-24T09:23:00.000-07:00So...um...well...did Todd actually date Sheryl Cro...So...um...well...did Todd actually date Sheryl Crow?

The equivalent to an Easter bunny is Sweden is an Easter Hag? Is there a story here or was this "translation-gone-awry" at some point in history?<BR/><BR/>2. Do Swedes drink anything other than Schnapps? Or is this just my brother?<BR/><BR/>3. Do Swedes ever work? So many holidays!!! (This is actually jealousy, no further explanation needed.)<BR/><BR/>4. Is there really a difference between "ä" and "å" ?<BR/><BR/>Please advise.<BR/><BR/>(And Sean, mentioning my relationship with Sheryl only resurfaces hurtful memories...plus the paparazzi just started leaving me alone again.)Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13596366525350365964noreply@blogger.com
