mike69spain: Weird, they oppose double citizen ship in US? Or is it simply the reason that you actually got an American one?
We get a three month visa over the counter when ordering tickets to the US. That is if we do not have a family name starting with Al', El' or Il' something
It is because I have an America passport or I am an American citizen trying to go back home with my Swedish passport.
They just thought it was suspicious...I simply told them I was too lazy to renew it...like it involves me driving 5 hours to Stockholm to the American embassy to do that.
America and Sweden have some kind of deal where it's cool to have double citizenship....
lusciousmile: I don't give a f*** about swedish or finnish, and guess what, the person you were addressing isn't finnish or swedish....just a nice guy having some fun with me !
I'm hoping you will not volunteer to teach the language any foreigner. Sorry we spoke swedish on 'your' thread. We will leave you to meditate.
mike69spain: Which makes me wonder - will Sweden accept you showing your American passport at the border and not the Swedish?
I kind of expect them to not care, since they have got all in the same computer system anyway. But interesting never the less.
I don't know. Two years ago I used my American passport to get into the States, and my Swedish passport to get back into Sweden...the lines where shorter
mike69spain: I do have problems with that
I can understand...
cristina: Yes, freedom to declare your income SF!
So you must pay a lot of taxes...and Sweden does not easy on that, how do you survive?
It's not that bad...it's not like it renders me poor or something....I don't mind paying for free health care and other social benefits

Still, a lot of that tax pressure is born in Stockholm, and not much reach the outer regions. I have not seen Kalmar since 87, but I do not think much changed in sense of service and such.
It is an expensive system to keep running, but probably a good choice to have the kids grow up.
I did not know that, but also not long in Finland I suppose.
And my question was to people reacting like you in general, as if they had a knife to their throat and everything was meant to be towards (or against) them.
If you had not gone fuming, you would notice that I was making fun of his Swedish and turning into a "I WANT YOU" in Finnish instead.
The last comment was, if the price of learning was to high, be wise and go hunting elsewhere.
Finnish women like men a bit more wood chopper style, by tradition - hence growing a beard.
It had nothing at all to do with you, but with the Finnish culture.
Now it is said, and no, I do not give language lessons. Far from.
