That was something that really turned me off from reading this blog– that you seemed to hate that Swedes are less car centric. Weighing the pro's and con's of transportation in US vs Sweden I personally feel Sweden is superior in every respect. <br /><br />Anyway, reading this post was very touching. I myself was born and raised in Malmö but moved to the US (LA to be exact) and have visited Sweden every so often since. I know how it feels to go back and see what's new (with friends and their lives particularly) and what's old and never changes (the beauty of gågatan). This post resonated a lot with me and reading your blog posts give me mixed feelings– it makes me love Sweden more while also seeing what isn't so great there but ultimately it leaves me feeling sad I ever left (even though I have a happy life here in LA).<br /><br />Good luck to your brother, and if he is in Skåne, or Malmö, it'd be interesting to actually meet him (put a face and meet a personality to a blog) when I visit Sweden later in the year.Severinhttp://www.walkeaglerock.wordpres.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837418360328434663.post-8561982346712324492012-08-16T07:59:47.802-05:002012-08-16T07:59:47.802-05:00Good to hear from you, because now I know you'...Good to hear from you, because now I know you're not dead. It's weird that I have two friends that died on facebook, one for over a year now, and their accounts are just hanging out there. I get birthday notices for them. But, anyway I digress. We spent two weeks in Sweden in June, and I definitely saw the ignore feature in shops. I mean at one point, just to test this out, I walked up to the counter in a used book store, and the clerk ignored me, until I finally said, "Ursäkta mig?" Had I not read your blogs, I would have thought it was me.sunnypmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15228407906165932962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837418360328434663.post-51226121678525242582012-08-15T09:42:57.156-05:002012-08-15T09:42:57.156-05:00What university will he be attending?

If by some chance he is coming to Skåne I would be happy to help him out with any logistics.<br /><br />I was directed to your blog by the girl you dragged along with you so I even sort of know him through about 4 degrees of separation!rustinoreply@blogger.com
