mike69spain: Too many years away have changed it to a weird place - I do not understand the ways of the people there and still I know what they are saying.
It is strange to be a stranger in your own "home" but that is my feeling there. I speak to people anywhere I meet them when I find them interesting or have nothing better to do - an absolute no-no in Sweden...
I want to kiss the cheeks of the women related to friends and colleagues, I touch shoulders, arms and backs of men I speak to, I laugh openly at funny things in the streets, I flirt with shy old girls and I compliment not only women on their choice of outfit or similar.
My Swedish ways are ruined, once and forever - a failed Viking sailing on seas way to warm for any son of Oden. On top of that, I do not drink on Saturdays and I do not feel like dancing because it is Wednesday.

But, but...
You know, Mike? I met Tulefel in Gothenburg, along with the Captain, although he left us to it after the initial meeting, it is not a bad place...
I do find a sense of unrest, in a manner that I cannot relate to.
Beautiful people, beautiful surroundings, maybe it is because I feel so at home here in Salzburg, but I do not feel any warmth, not that the Austrians are warm at all, stoic, right wing, all of that, but there is a calmness in Salzburg, that is not the same for me in Sweden...
I wish I could put my finger on it, but I cannot... There is nothing that I want to complain about, but I do not feel the same sense of calm that I do when I am in Austria...
Terribly hard to explain...

.......I understand perfectly on what you mean Sommer....and you are correct, 'you just can't put into words'....
As I miss Europe terrible sometimes,and each time I go there to catch up with close Friends and Family.....But I can't wait to get back to New Zealand and have a walk,with my Kids along a rugged and wild west coast surf beach called 'Karekare' Beach...That to me is so revitalizing to the Soul...

No one can, but Colin Nutley did a good job at it. A need to perform, to uphold your privacy while letting the state know it all. Accept all shapes of people officially but under the skin any deviance will be met with extreme scepticism.
Double moral is a Swedish creation and I can bet my hat that there is not one in Sweden who would not want it differently, but no one knows or even dares to find out, how to change this.
Good old Sweden, I love the memories from my youth but I am so happy I got to know a few more sides of this world - loosing my roots in the process was worth it.

Socialism????
Why am I so selfish and unwilling to give the place a chance???
Could I live there? I could live in Captain's apartment forever with him, but that is not good is it???
I don't think I could, sad fact is, that Captain agrees with me...
