TomSwede Report post Posted July 22, 2008 (edited) Being all alone and no one to talk to in my own tongue shure has shown in my posting ratio. Since the big crash I've managed to end up as as number one in the top poster page and finally I have found a very talented colleague here in Sweden, just one hour drive away. After founding his website I sent him a mail and he rang up and I can tell you I've now broken the record for "my longest call on cellphone" He makes some seriously nice stuff and is a competent leatherworker so I just wish to welcome him aboard today and hope you all give him a warm welcome! His profile here: http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showuser=7060 and at myspace you can see some nice stuff he has made: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea...endid=398172205 The orientation is mainly viking themed.

CitizenKate Report post Posted July 23, 2008 I got to travel around Europe a lot when my family lived in Germany for a few years (I'm an air force brat). When you travel from culture to culture, you can really get a sense of the overall demeanor (or spirit, if you will) of a place. The two places I had the fondest memories of were Sweden and Spain. In Spain, there is (or at least was at the time) a great sense of kindness and friendship. In Sweden, it is peace and tranquility. Both places are places of great beauty, both natural and man-made, despite man's long tenure in those places. I think that says quite a lot about the people there.

BigAlC Report post Posted July 23, 2008 Great place Sweden. It has produced the greatest rally drivers in the world. But, there is always a 'but', have you ever tried to buy tequila or beer there? Love your lakes Al Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's very good, I can't read your accent at all. Thank you brotha Freak! I added some accent for you. Used to be fluid in English in my younger days but nowadays doesn't get to much practice with speaking so I was embaraased bout it all week in Scotland in my May but my friends anyway thought it was best to let me deal with speaking to locals when we needed specific information, lol. My Engliss school lessons started when I was nine but I'd already started picking up on how to speak it from watching telly then. When/if you get here I'll see to it that you get a nice brew I got to travel around Europe a lot when my family lived in Germany for a few years (I'm an air force brat).

Kate I'd say it's very easy to find tranquility here if you go to places north of Stockholm (beware of mosquitos) and if you're into big city life Stockholm probably is the only place to visit here since a normal large city here is walked through in a bout 30 mins and that says it about BIG city life. Great place Sweden. It has produced the greatest rally drivers in the world.But, there is always a 'but', have you ever tried to buy tequila or beer there? Love your lakes Al Thanks BigAlC! We sure had our share in rally driver and great athletes too. Buying any alcoholic beverage can produce a problem if not planned for, sigh! One must locate an open shop called systembolaget to buy. Often there is only one of those in a city. Monopoly by the Swedish government to control our drinking. Lots of lakes here, I'd pick the northern ones for favourite since there's not to much trout in the southern ones. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
