Last week, the moose hunting season opened here in Sweden. It’s expected that a record amount of women will be joining this year. Apparently already a quarter of the current attendees to the exams for the hunter license are women.

How come?

Well, obviously, according to this article, the guys are becoming handbag loving sissies.

Apart from the bags, I really like though the Bjorn Borg Brand…

Swedend’s housing market is still sky-rocketing… The specialists thought it would calm down but nothing as such happened. In august the prices went even higher - 2,5% in Stockholm. We are now @ 55000 SEK for a m². That’s 5900 euro. Jippie if you want a 100 m² appartment! The local explains.

Like 2 months ago, we were present working with Emakina @ the Thisiswanted Event in Barcelona. This weekend, the entire circus moved over to Stockholm, my hometown. The team has, again, done an excellent job covering the entire event through video, blog posting and photos. Check out the work @ www.thisiswanted.eu

For the belgian visitors, one of the gigs in Stockholm was GOOSE. The did an excellent set here in Riddarholmen, check it out on Daily motion.

Just out of curiosity, we are looking into the Stockholm housing market and make sure you sit, it’s one of the most expensive markets in Europe where appartment prices go sky high. An appartmen costs around 7000 € / m² so a regular appartment for 3 people (like 100 m²)…. do the calculation.

As you know, the health care system in Sweden is one of the best in the world, as you also know the Swedish Heavy Metal scene is one of the biggest in the World. Now, combine those two given things and you get this:

A swedish heavy metal fan has had his music addiction officially recognized as a disability, resulting in receiving a compensation for being disabled. Wauw, you’ve got to be kidding me…

It’s very difficult for non-Swedes to believe what Midsummer is all about. It’s NOT an official holiday, it’s NOT a religious holiday, but IT IS official Drinking and nobody-into-town day!

Femina Curiosa in her blogpost last year

Some Australian Ex-pats made up a list of things to recognize you’ve been too long in Sweden…
With Midsommar coming up, there are some nice items in there. Just for your info, we are not yet matching the full list but I have a sense that it’ll come.

Een zware last, dat moet het zijn voor de huidige generatie Zweden. Al het succes dat ze vroeger gehad hebben op het songfestival… Gewoon de naam ABBA zegt genoeg (die hier nog steeds platgespeeld worden op de radio btw). Ik dacht dus… nee ze hebben dezelfde ingesteldheid als wij… het liedjes concours heeft dezelfde, niet al te super reputatie. Maar oh nee! Onze bovenburen, die het sowiezo al hebben voor liedjesprogramma’s als Sing a long, gingen redelijk door hun dak voor een spetterend avondje eurosong. Het zijn nochtans jonge dertigers, maar dat maakt hier helemaal niks uit!!
