Stay away from the Swedish stewardesses om your way to Sweden. You never know what they can do with you... Dont get in troubles, so listen to my advise:STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OR YOU WILL BECOME A MEMBER OF THE HIGH MILE CLUB!
Do not forget that wildlife is abundant in Sweden, especially in the northern parts, and traffic incidents involving animals are common. Something like 60 000 accidents involving animals occur every year in Sweden. Extra careful driving at dusk and dawn is recommended! Also, as a guideline, if you collide with a moose a speed of 60 kilometres per hour is considered to be the top speed where you have a good chance of surviving such an accident. Higher speeds might be lethal. Usually there are fences to keep the wild animals off the main roads, but there are parts that are not covered by theses fences. Whenever the fencing stops the wildlife warning sign with a moose (or sometimes another animal) in silhouette is put up. Coming to such a part of a road at dawn or dusk - lower your speed and be extra watchful keeping your eyes partly on the sides of the road ...
Haha, this is also more of a fun warning tip than describing a real danger, provided you are on safe ground. But I don’t write for sailors, because they should know what to do anyhow.Sweden’s west coast is beautiful, magic! But, being exposed to the sea the weather can change quite quickly. Even if it is sunny, the sea can become rough and the wind is then very fierce. I love this heavy wind and cannot get enough of it. But…. I made a mental note that will forever stick in my brain (I hope). If it is windy, don’t have your coffee and cake on the deck! Things can get lost during the time the waiter needs to bring them to your table. This is what happened to us when we were in Möllosund during a beautiful sunny and very windy day. Even if we have picked out a place on the deck where it was a bit less windy, the poor waiter had to cross the deck and was exposed to all the wind. We have...
With all the countless big and small lakes, with all the small and big islands around the coasts, Sweden can easily compete with Venezia when it comes to bridges connecting land. This is surely fun but it also bears some risks. Not life threatening ones of course but trip planning ones. Bridges might break…. I would never have thought about this, although it is very much logic, but… have learned the lesson when we were on our way back from Sigtuna and Enköping. The road south leads across several bridges between the mainland and the small islands in Lake Mälaren and.. suddenly we had to stop because everyone else stopped. We were sitting in the car for a while, no one really knew what was going on. Suddenly word spread that the bridge in front of us had a problem. No, it wasn’t broken but the draw bridge mechanism failed to draw the bridge back into position (after ships had passed) to...
Sweden’s main roads are wide and excellent. Maximum speed is 110 km/hr on motorways, 70 – 90km/hr on main roads and inside cities and villages 50 km/hr. Signs with the maximum speed are mounted everywhere, so it is easy to follow. But Swedish traffic is not enormous, rather thin. This means that the wide and almost empty roads could animate some speed obsessed drivers to transform into Formula1 drivers. Not good! They will be caught by the many speed control cameras and fined heavily. But it would not be Sweden if there would not be a sign every couple of hundreds of metres to remind that a camera is there to control. Although I fell into the habit of driving a bit quicker than allowed (not speeding though), I slowed down most of the time when I saw the sign. And when I was not alone, my sweet copilot reminded me that there was a sign. So I cannot say what would happen if the camera...
We have a cookie which is called negerboll in Sweden and it is very delicious, if you have a cup of cooffee with it. Negerboll means in English Niggerball. Maybe it is not the best thing to say... It is up to yourself to decide if you want to use that name for the cookie. In many cafés they use other names for it, but personally I grew up with this name. I am NOT a racist at all, but I cant change the name. For me, it will always be negerboll for that kind of cookie. But if I say that in the café they say that they dont have it any more. I guess I have get used to it, and call it chocolate ball instead or something else.
Well, our native people in the north, the Sami, dont call them "lapp"!!!! I dont think they like that expression..... Think about what you say to them. They prefer to be called same, which is the real name.
Here you can waste a lot of money if you want. I think we here in the north are one of the most expenive countries. We pay also so much, too much, in tax too. So, we need all tourists here, so welcome and spend your cash here all year around. Help us to get our life to become better. Spend all your dollars, rubels, yen, euros or what currency you have. THANK YOU AMIGOS!
Well, respect our signs where it says "fiske förbjuden". There are so many places where you can fish for free in my beautiful country and we want that law to be followed. Thanks. It is not to be bad to you as a fisher, but the sign would NOT be there if it was NOT allowed to fish!! There can always be a cause why you arent allowed to fish there.SO, DONT FISH HERE!
If you read this which is written on the carpet. Dont bother them, they dont want you there. Turn around and walk away, and never come back to this place. They mean, they never want to see you again or any time in the future. Sad, but at least honest!SO, LEAVE THEM ALONE!
