Sweden: The Dream Nation?

Swedish Star as Natascha Kampusch
When we visited Stockholm this year,  I was struck by the appearance and the attitudes of people in Stockholm. The stereotypes I often hear about the Swedes are that they are tall, have long legs, blond hair, blue eyes and are good looking. They take extra care of physical appearance, dress fashionably and elegantly. They try to avoid conflicts (or are aloof?), courteous, hence law abiding citizens. They also speak very good English. Though notorious for their drinking habits, they consider driving under the influence is a taboo.
