There are two questions I am constantly asked about Sweden
1) How cold is it?
and
2) What are the women like?
I have to say in answer to question one, I have only really felt cold on one occasion since I have been here. I am refusing to wear gloves and my North Face arctic coat until its really cold.
In answer to Q2? Thats not the sort of question a gentleman usually answers, especially when he knows there are some Swedish females who read this blog. I do think that after reading what Viking women really wore (nothing like the above pic apparently) that the Swedish women should go back to Viking tradition a bit more and wear the fashions of their female ancestors….
Unfortunately I have had to remove Montchans blog from the North, it appears her blog has been deleted which is a shame as it was an enjoyable read, hopefully she will be back soon.
Todays Swedish Word of the day is kläder -clothing

Hej San Rochelle
Thanks for dropping by, I look forward to reading your blog and will link to it. I think its fascinating to get another persons perspective.
Though in fairness I think you are in the real Sweden! I cant wait to get up North and explore.
Briefly, I just want to say Welcome To Sweden. I hope all works out well for you. If you follow the links on the right hand column of Katrineholm Review [http://katrineholmreview.blogspot.com], you might find a few sites linked there which could be useful to you as you adjust to Swedish life.
Shane, glad to see you are still the gentleman!

Interesting blog.
