Stockholm is a great city. Its beautiful, the people are friendly and courteous, transport is excellent, food is good. Apart from it being at the expensive end can’t really fault it. And you can help but feel as you walk around (and I walked around a lot) that this is a city that is concerned for the welfare of its citizens and want them to have a good life. It feels like they genuinely give a shit about their wellbeing. Sweden has over the last few decades been a poster child for equality and how it drastically reduces most of the problems in societies. It has sadly had a bit of a lurch to the right of late and the market forces that has changed so many other places are now closing in here but hopefully they will be able to keep them at bay and remain a true example of how positive countries can be. They just need care and to have respect for everyone, no matter what they do..oh and they need to tax the shit out of those that can afford it so that everything can be provided for. There is no real other way round it.
