Sweden, without mentioning ROXETTE...
* It’s clean
* People are friendly
* Public transport is excellent
* People recycle more - hardly heard of where I am in the uk?
* You have to visit Sweden to really understand the true beauty that lies within it’s culture!

I’m not going anywhere(Same as every sodding year!).
Wish I could go somewhere FAR away... very remote... Just to get away from the word ’war’. People are walking around like zombies!
Every second sentence is... Oh spend all your money now, you won’t be able to use it when the war starts.
ARG!
Anyway... what was the question? ;)

Stormkeeper said on March 16, 2003 21:24:

Santi said on March 16, 2003 21:27:
I didn’t like them especially... the blonde dutchies there in my university college in Sweden looked much better :D

Denstandigaresan said on December 6, 2003 22:48:
Woo! I lied. ;) I DID go on holiday this year! I got my first passport. :D
I went to Sweden in July, to see Per concert in Halmstad. :) That was 4 days. *THANKS F & K*!!
September, I went to Norway, thanks to Mutley, we saw Per in Oslo. And both got a hug from him! ;)
I guess a couple days in London count to. :)

Ally: so the factors you mentioned satisfy you about a country?? You gotta come to Victoria then :). Victoria is very clean, very beautiful, not cold at all, people are very friendly and public transport is just excellent.
And especially to Denstandigaresan: Victoria is an island so people don’t ever talk about war or things like that. THey are tri-atheloning all the time, very much into sports. I loved it when I first moved here. Vancouver has gotten busy over the years, but Victoria is awesome. I invited you all to the beautiful city of Victoria. Come on over.
And to sweet_stalker: If you want blondes with nice bodies, Victoria is the place for you. I am a brunette so I am not talking about myself. When I first moved to Victoria, I didn’t know to whether look at guys or girls. Very athletic and in shape. Woof.
DaminehGessle said on December 7, 2003 17:58:
And as to my plans, I will go home (Vancouver) on the 20th since I have exams till 19th of December. School starts on the 2nd I assume so I will have 13 days to take a break from the world of school and this stupid lab. Next year would be school as well. I won’t get to go anywhere except in February when I will go to Toronto on a conference. Yeah that’s about it for me.
ally77 said on December 7, 2003 19:53:
I have always wanted to visit Canada.. I have a aunt in Toronto, she moved out there about 10 years ago...
DaminehGessle said on December 7, 2003 20:05:
I don’t like Toronto much. It’s got too many buildings and boring... no mountains or sea... Not very green either. West Coast is absolutely beautiful. Come one summer and I will take you out camping with me. It’s just absolutely amazing.
Santi said on December 7, 2003 22:31:
I think that Victoria and the West coast of Canada is very much like Norway in Europe. If I don’t remember badly, they both have the same climate (Norwegian climate: super rainy) and they’ve got fjords too. I remember Norway as the most beautiful country I’ve ever seen, especially places like Bergen, Narvik... the coast. So I imagine Canadian west coast like Norway... without the coloured wood houses :D (I’ll go some day :D;))
As for me, I did go to Belgium and the other Netherlands :D I did what I said :p
Denstandigaresan said on December 7, 2003 23:47:
@DaminehGessle: I’m on the next plane out! ;) Nyahahaha. :D
Na. When I wrote that, it was all about war... now it’s all about terrorist attacks! Where I live, we’re on amber alert, as it’s got a main dockyard, with nuclear subs, an airport, and also navy/military city.
It isn’t much fun hearing the air-raid siren go off every Monday morning, for testing, in case anything happened. :(
Recently, it went off on a Thursday afternoon. Even my dad said, ’This is it folks’. Feckity, feck, feck. :(

I took two trips this year, one planned, one unscheduled.
I go to California every year, and that happened again. I spend about 10 days with friends from graduate school. Nice relaxing vaction—lots of swimming—I actually got a tan (now there’s a big deal). . .and as I tack it on to the end of an annual business trip, I don’t have to pay the airfare.
The unscheduled trip was a flight to Seattle and a 2000 mile, three day drive over Easter to move a friend back to Missouri. And she was devestated by her impeding divorce. Lots of talking, lots of crying, some laughs, and lots more talking and crying. It wasn’t my favorite experience, but it ended well, and I’d do it again if I had to.

Santi: I have never been to Norway so I got no clue. It’s not that rainy in here though. It’s normal. If it were not to rain often, it wouldn’t have been this green eh :).
Denstandigaresan: Here in West Coast, we don’t have any worries about the war. I believe Victoria would be the last place they’d want to plan an attack on :). We have military bases but you know Canada... not much into war hehe. It’s awesome in here. I fell in love with Victoria once I moved here. Everyone’s laid-back, athletic, nice...
MiracleMan: I lived in California for two separate 5 months and I don’t know why I do not like that state. The only good thing about it was that I could swim any time of the day any month of the year. But the water was so bad that made me nauseous. I just don’t like having to drive for an hour to get to your destination you know. Your day is gone driving around. I just do not like California :(. It’s good for a vacation though. Used to fly there with my family before I got a job there, for thanksgiving every year a few days you know. It was fine for a few days but more than that of California I cannot take.
