Da sieht man wieder, wie subjektiv halt alles ist.^^ <br /><br />Wir wären froh, wenn ein Teil der Immigranten nach Schweden etc gehen würde, denn mit fast 30% der Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund, hat Wien definitiv das Limit erreicht. Vor allem weil so viele dabei sind, die sich leider überhaupt nicht integrieren wollen! Sprache lernen? Fehlanzeige! Viele können nach Jahren immer noch kaum ein Wort. Aber auch Schwedens Fassade bröckelt in Wirklichkeit gewaltig, wie man an den vielen brennenden Autos in den Vorstädten vor einiger Zeit sehen konnte. <br /><br />Übrigens: die Selbstmordrate in Schweden ist nur unwesentlich niedriger als in Ö!

It reminds me of the Trueman story and other gloomy tales. Is their any space for individual expression if everybody is so well-behaved?<br />I feel more at ease hearing words of anger or experiencing occasional bad behaviour than moving among people constantly well-tempered. Of cousrse, you're talking of first trip holiday experience, but it makes me imagine and think of Vienna's outspoken moodiness in a warmer light for a change.

I've always admired Scandinavian people and their way of living.. There is just one thing that crosses my mind every time I start to seriously consider moving there and it's the very same question this authoress puts at the end of the text - "People here are very nice. Are they also nice to foreigners living in their country or only to tourists?" :)Marijana Jukićhttp://www.facebook.com/visitstockholmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208938873610793936.post-30132418409453798662012-09-07T01:57:52.793-07:002012-09-07T01:57:52.793-07:00Hej, really nice post.

That's exactly what I experienced so far in Sweden and I visited the beautiful city of Stockholm 28 times in the last 6 years!<br /><br />I really enjoy beeing in Sweden with all the friendly people, the awesome mix of big city and a lot of nature. <br /><br />And even if you are far away from the typical tourist places, you will experience the same. <br /><br />That's why I love it and hope to move to Sweden. ;)jAsMiNhttp://lydeke.senoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208938873610793936.post-59266415883848016262012-09-04T23:43:08.620-07:002012-09-04T23:43:08.620-07:00As a Swedish I'm very proud of your descriptio...As a Swedish I'm very proud of your description! Glad that you enjoyed in Sweden. Welcome back! And will not tell you that Swedes can be whiny and annoying. ;) At the moment I live in your wonderful city, Vienna. <br />Just Love it!!!
